Hello,
although this a C++ question, I think it is okey to post it here since it
is Maya's API related.
So, I recently started writing plug-ins in C++ and I am planning on
freelancing rigs that use those plugins. Simply put: I want the clients to
use the rigs with the C++ plugins nodes, but I don't want them to be able
to create the node.
The reason why I want this is because if I spend months or a year of hard
work developing a muscle plugin, the client can ask me for 1 rig, and then
rip off the plugin and keep it to him self. So without going into license
stuff I thought that
maybe in C++ we have more protection measures?
This is what I have done so far to protect the plugin:
1-Build the plug-in in release mode (apparently in debug mode you can hack
it somehow, at least that's what a college told me when I was working at
MPC)
2-Delete everything in the scene if a disconnection is detected in the node
with:
connectionBroken(const MPlug& plug, const MPlug& otherPlug, bool asSrc)
3-Delete everything in the scene if the node is duplicated with:
::copyInternalData(MPxNode* node)
But the main problem is that you still can simple write
*cmds.createNode("theNode")* to create a new node. So the previous measures
are useless.
Any ideas?Maybe doing something after the maya scene was opened and loaded
the plugins?
Thanks,
R
