Compilation:

- Clone the git repository into a local folder:

    git clone git://github.com/joesfer/Voronoi-Shattering.git <shatter_folder>

- The project depends on the CoreLib and RenderLib shared libraries, 
  included as submodules.

    cd <shatter_folder>
    git submodule init
    git submodule update

    it should create <shatter_folder>/RenderLib and 
    <shatter_folder>/CoreLib otherwise, add them manually:

    git submodule add git://github.com/joesfer/CoreLib.git CoreLib
    git submodule add git://github.com/joesfer/RenderLib.git RenderLib      

- Build the Maya plugin using CMake:

    cd <shatter_folder>
    mkdir .build
    cd .build
    cmake ..

    You may need to supply the path to your maya installation folder
    cmake -DMAYA_ROOT=/path/to/maya ..

    On Windows: cmake will generate a Visual studio solution on .build
    On Linux: cmake will generate a GCC makefile

    Build the plugin using visual studio or make.

    Note the solution will contain 3 projects: CoreLib, RenderLib 
    and Shatter, which need to be built in that order. If the process 
    succeeds, the resulting .mll plugin file will be located under 
    <shatter_folder>/bin

- Load the .mll file in Maya's plugin manager.

- Run the provided MEL script for an example on how to use the plugin
