The Mudbox SDK contains the following plug-in examples in <your_installation_directory>\SDK\examples:

• AutoExtract – Demonstrates how to automate the map extraction process.
• CurveBrush – Demonstrates how to make a custom brush and how to support undo and redo operations from your plug-in. Additionally, it shows how to access the point positions on a mesh.
• FileEventHandler – Demonstrates how to catch and respond to file events. For more information, see the topic File Event Handling.
• FixedFunctionMaterial – Demonstrates how to add a simple material to Mudbox. For more information see the topic Materials.
• FrameCounter – Demonstrates how to derive a node from the Node class and attach it to Mudbox callbacks for performing actions when specific events occur.
• ImageIOHandlerRAW – Demonstrates how to create your own image import and export plug-in. It shows how you can read, write, and register your own image format in Mudbox.
• ImmediateModeRenderer – Demonstrates how to generate a Mesh renderer for Mudbox. You can use your own rendering engines to perform sculpting and painting.
• MapExtractorPlugin – Demonstrates how to create preset settings for newly created map extraction nodes.
• MenuMessenger – Demonstrates how to add new menu items to a menu in Mudbox. The new menu items can call functions in your plug-in and display messages in the Mudbox head’s up display (HUD).
• MeshBuilder – Demonstrates how to create a new triangular or quadric mesh using the Mesh class. It also shows how to add the meshes into the current scene.
• MeshDisplace – This is the source code for the Mudbox feature Sculpt Model Using Displacement Map. This plug-in demonstrates how to make a new node with its own UI, and how to create and access those nodes from Mudbox. It also shows how to access and change the point positions on a mesh. For more information see the Nodes and Mesh and Topology topics.
• PLYImport – Demonstrates how to write a mesh importer and mesh exporter plug-in. For more information see the Mesh Importer and Exporter Plug-ins topic.
• PtexExtractor – Demonstrates how to write an extension to the internal Mudbox map extraction function. It introduces a new file type called ptex. You can use ptex even when there are no texture coordinates on the target mesh.
• PtexImporter – Demonstrates how to write an importer that can read a ptex file and create a mesh based on the metadata in the file. It reads the surface data from the file, and assigns it to the mesh as a diffuse paint layer.
• SampleViewportFilter – Demonstrates how to add a new viewport filter. For more information see the topic Viewport Filters.
• STLExport – Demonstrates a simple mesh exporter plug-in. For more information see the topic Mesh Importer and Exporter Plug-ins.
• TextureConveyor – Demonstrates how to iterate over materials, access textures, and export them, if needed. It exports all texture channels as .png files. Each texture is a composite of all the layers in each channel.
• TextureSwapperViewportFilter – Demonstrates how to view secondary textures of Mudbox. For more information see the topic Viewport Filters.
• ToonMaterial – Demonstrates a complex material plug-in. For more information see the topic Materials.
• VolumeTexture – Demonstrates how to extend map extraction with a new component.
