Re: Any recent nice new projects using emWhatever?
Thanks for your feedback, Tim! Personally I would just love to port emTopolizer and emPolygonizer to Modo. The only thing that is missing in the Modo SDK is not functionality but documentation and examples. Note that I have not taken a look at Modo 801 yet. I will get back to them as soon as I'm done with the stuff I'm currently working on. Let's see how it goes.

Re: Any recent nice new projects using emWhatever?
Hi Perry, In fact I have, yes, and there even is already a Mootzoid plugin available for C4D: emReader. Their SDK is quite good: it is well documented with good example code and it took me less than a week to port emReader. Best, Eric Am 17.05.2014 13:06, schrieb Perryharovas: How about Cinema 4D Eric?

Yeah it was fun and fast to work with it as well.

Re: Any recent nice new projects using emWhatever?
What kind of plugin do you have in mind? Since version 601 (I think) Modo has an SDK, but it is still lacking documentation and examples, which makes it very difficult to make plugins. I will have a look at the 801 SDK soon to see if it is better now.

Yes, I know. That's why I mentioned I'm not a (C++) developer :-). I wish I could comment on the SDK, but I can't. I just thought that if the Python API has been seeing some improvements, maybe the SDK has too. In any case, there's quite a few users that seem to know it well in the Modo forums.
