Creating a texture plugin...

What language are texture plugins written in, and what are they compiled with? I’d like to make few of them for different purpose.

AFAIK, ANSI C, ANSI C compiler, in that order.

Now I just have to understand how to program for blender %|

Any language that can compile to a DLL (in windows, .so everywhere else)

C is most common

http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins/ has details about programming them. It’s also where you’ll send them once they’re done (if they’re any good…)

Thanks very much for the link. Unfortunately I don’t have time in the near future to work on it. Oh well. I read some of that and it looks pretty straight foward. I don’t know C but I know enough about programming to pick it up pretty quick (after all most languages are pretty much the same on the outside).
