How to Write an Effect Plugin (Part 5 of 4 - Beyond CodeLab)


Recommended Posts

I've never been happy with the C# code syntax highlighter here on the forums. So, I have moved this tutorial here:

http://boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/help/tutorial5.asp

It includes sections on how to move a CodeLab script into a full Visual Studio project and how to add slider decorations to your effects.

For anyone that's interested, I would like to point out a few more CodeLab limitations I've noticed that were not mentioned.

  • The default value of the Angle Chooser control can't be changed from 45 degrees, and also constrained ranges (ex: 45 degrees to 90 degrees) can't be set.
  • The default value of the Double Vector control can't be changed from (0,0), and also ranges can't be changed from -1.00 to 1.00.
  • The default value of the 3D Roll Ball control can't be changed from (0,0,0)
  • All ranges, defaults, and strings must be hard-coded values.
