A plug-in is an add-on module that adds features to Maya Creative. You can load and unload only the default plug-ins in Maya Creative; you cannot create or add specialty plug-ins.
Some features that are implemented as plug-ins are:
- File translators, which let you import and export various file formats.
- Tools such as the Modeling Toolkit, Game Exporter, or Turtle.
- Menu items like File > Send to Mudbox, or Send to Unity.
