OpenMfx#

OpenMfx is a plug-in API for procedural 3D mesh effects.

  • cross-software – Write a mesh processing effect once, run it in every digital content creation tool that supports OpenMfx.

  • low overhead – The API intends to limit as much as possible the copy of data in the communication between a plugin and the host software.

  • non-destructive interchange – Export a 3D scene without burning in non-destructive effects. If these effects are backed by OpenMfx plugins, they can be seamlessly imported into another piece of software and result in the very same geometry.

  • user-friendly – Writing your own mesh processing effect is made as straightforward as possible thanks to a C++ SDK that wraps around the portable raw C API, providing a nicer interface without scarifying performance.
