World Machine Plugin Development Kit

World Machine features a modular plugin architecture that allows you to create your own fully-featured devices in C++.

Build 3018 and later require MSVC 2017, available for free here.

Older builds must be compiled with the MSVC 2010 compiler.

Instructions

The PDK contains an example solution that should readily compile to demonstrate how to create a new plugin.

The PDK is not yet fully complete; it will eventually include full documentation. For now, however, it is available for you to implement your plugins.
