Shave And A Haircut APIs
------------------------
There are two APIs for use with Shave: a standalone API for building
applications which process Shave archive files (such as those produced by
the 'shaveRender -createDRAFile' command in Maya), and a plugin API for
building Maya plugins which can access Shave's data from within Maya.
Standalone API
--------------
The standalone API consists of the following two header files, found in this
directory:
shaveEngine.h
shaveSDKTYPES.h
as well as the following dynamic library, also found in this directory:
libShaveEngine.dylib
Maya Plugin API
---------------
The Maya plugin API consists of the following two header files, found in the
same directory as Maya's own API header files
(e.g. /Applications/Alias/maya7.0/devkit/include/maya):
shaveAPI.h
shaveItHair.h
as well as the following dynamic libraries, found in Maya's shared 'plug-ins'
directory (e.g. /Users/Shared/Alias/maya/7.0/plug-ins):
libShave.dylib
libShaveAPI.dylib
The header files contain complete documentation on the plugin API.
Sample Code
-----------
'shaveAPITestCmd.cpp' is a sample Maya plugin using Shave's plugin API.
'shaveAPITestApp.cpp' is a sample application using Shave's standalone API.
To build them, set your MAYA_LOCATION environment variable to point to the
Maya.app/Contents directory for the version of Maya you plan on using the
plugin with. E.g:
setenv MAYA_LOCATION /Applications/Alias/maya7.0/Maya.app/Contents
Then execute the following command:
make
To execute a standalone application, either run the application from the
same directory which contains the libShaveEngine.dylib file, or else
set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to that directory.
E.g:
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /Users/Shared/Epic Games/shaveHaircut/maya2017/samples
