Maya Port

[tokejepsen]

have you got some suggestions as to where to start on this beast? thinking an order similar to:

• joint
• manipulator
• rig
• solvers
• the rest

also what are you thinking about splitting the files into XSI and Maya compatibility?

Hey Toke,

Sorry for the late reply :(

• I would port the manipulator first, it's a class composed of a rigicon plus the space swtiching stuff.
• Solvers, despite the fancy name it's just a simple mini-rig/module, there is a base class to ensure the underline structure and should be the first thing to be ported, once the base is ported I would move to the FK solver as it is the simplest one.
• The rest (at this point there shouldn't be so much softimage specific code, most of the missing pieces rely on the already ported classes).

There will be a couple of problems down the road for sure, but the project is not as intimidating at it looks at first, just make sure to not change the way the existing clases are coupled together and everything should goes well.

Cheers!
