Mudbox Application Programming Interface (API)

An application programming interface (API) is available for developers who want to customize Mudbox. The API is accessible through the Mudbox Software Developers Kit (SDK).

The Mudbox SDK is a set of C++ libraries, example files, and documentation that allows programmers to extend the functionality of Mudbox by writing plug-ins that are loaded when the application is running.

A few of the plug-in types that can be developed using the Mudbox SDK include:
