1- Installation
The installation of the SDK is simple. You just need to decompress the zip file anywhere on your disk and you are done.

2- Content:
The Folder of the SDK is divided in several folders :

  • Build: The build scripts for the samples
  • DemoExt: This is where the executable of the samples are stored once they are compiled.
  • Include: The header files necessary to compile a plugin for Carrara.
  • Lib: The Libraries that you need to link with your plugin.
  • Samples: Sample plugins
  • Tools: Resource Editor (MCSketch) and other tools...

3- Compiling the samples:
 

Macintosh®:
In order to build the samples on the Mac you will need to use Metrowerks CodeWarrior 7.0.
First you need to copy the Data Resource Compiler (which can be found in the tools folder of the SDK) in MetroWerks CodeWarrior:CodeWarrior Plugins:Compilers:
Then you need to copy the Res2Data PostLinker (which can be found in the tools folder of the SDK) in MetroWerks CodeWarrior:CodeWarrior Plugins:Linkers:

To compile a given sample, just open the corresponding .mcp project file in CodeWarrior 7.0 IDE and compile it. The resulting pluging is stored in the DemoExt: folder.

Windows®
In order to build the resources you will need to use a resource compiler. You can use Rez that is provided as part of the QuickTime SDK by Apple or you can simply compile your resources on a Macintosh®.

To Download the Quicktime SDK, go to:

To Install Rez , just copy the content of SDK folder in CarraraSDK/Tools/Rez.
