Seriously

Stop with the bloody CS2 talk, this is not what this topic is about. This was
about trying to make a plug-in for Gimp...most this topic is about CS2 being
free or not

Best bet would be to contact DAZ and see if they will share docs, or the
source, of their existing plugin(s) to talk to ZBrush and PS.

Whoever asks should have written a GIMP plugin for Microsoft Windows in
the past and be familiar with IPC and with event-driven programming on
Windows, and should get (if possible) permission to share the source
with the GIMP community - a long-term relationship, not a one-night...
er, not a short thing.

[Gimp-user] making a plug-in (bridge 2 programs)

2013-04-30 Thread Vata-Raven
Guess I'll just have to pick my way through the SDK

I know it's a C++ thing needed to program, as that's what the SDK product page
stated. So...I'm guessing I need to looking videos on programing with that.

I looked at a YouTube video about the Photoshop bridge. Based on what I saw 
you will need a plug-in for both DAZ Studio and GIMP. The two plug-ins need 
to be able to communicate with each other.


The GIMP plug-in needs to be able to obtain a list of textures available in 
the currently loaded DAZ scene, load the selected images in to GIMP, and 
have GIMP pass the modified image back to DAZ.


The main issue is working out the user interaction for the plug-ins. You 
need to work out how you will have the two programs communicate with each 
other to get the image list, and pass image data back and forth. You will 
have to learn how to use the SDK to issue commands to DAZ and get the data 
you need from the scent that you want to pass to GIMP.


That was as far as I looked at the bridge related videos. There was supposed 
to be a follow up video for more that you could do with the bridge but I 
didn't see that video as I couldn't find it.

CS2 is free as in zero dollars, but not free as in liberty.

You are not free to redistribute it or to make changes to it and
redistribute those changes.

I don't think it's productive to argue about whether this is the case
since it's easily verified, as Vata-Raven pointed out.

It might be that not too many people know that CS2 is a free download,
though. Luckily lots of people know that GIMP is free, even if they
don't all know what that really means. :)

Neither that. You are supposed to have had bought a license before.

For your deity of choice's sake, please RTFM :)

OTOH, this is completely off-topic indeed.

You're right, sorry - they've changed it since I was last there, and
also added the text about the activation server.

[Gimp-user] making a plug-in (bridge 2 programs)

2013-04-28 Thread Vata-Raven


Alright, I use Daz 3-d for my artwork. And daz has 2 plug-ins, 1 is bridge daz
and photoshop and another to bridge daz and zbrush

Ok, those are great programs and allbut they cost an arm and a leg to even
own.

While me, I use gimp, free and a decent program.

I want to make (or maybe someone can help) make a plug-in to bridge daz with
gimp.

I know with the PS bridge, when you have it opened. What happens in daz, happens
over in PS. So, you export the model over as a image (as a layer) over on top of
the background you want to use. You add lighting in daz, you can have it appear
in PS, and all that stuff.

You can also do texture maps and export the lay right on over onto the Daz
model. You know, that sort of stuff.

I'm a bit...I have no idea what I'm even doing, but I'm surprised that a plug-in
hasn't even been made in the 1st place

So...any help would be nice
