Extending Art of Illusion: a Reference for Creating Plugins and Scripts Timothy Fish

Art of Illusion is an open source 3D graphics program developed by Peter Eastman. Now you can get more out of it by creating your own plugins and scripts. Extending Art of Illusion will show you how to create your first plugin for Art of Illusion and demonstrates methods you can use to create plugins and scripts that add features you want. This book is divided into two sections. The first section provides example plugins and scripts that modify the Art of Illusion user interface, reposition objects in the scene, point cameras, lights and objects at objects, create new objects, and more. The second section is a quick reference. It provides a listing of the Art of Illusion public interfaces. It also includes a listing of many of the mathematical equations that you may need when writing code for 3D graphics software. If you desire to get the more from Art of Illusion, you should have this reference close at hand.
