Quote - Can someone please explain exactly what the D|S SDK actually is or does?  The description on DAZ's site says absolutely nothing.

There are two tiers of Studio development tools, the first tier is the free scripting interface and tools this is the equivelent of Poser Python. one can use these tools to write scripts or shader implementations, the scripting language is moderately easy to learn about on a par with python. The second is the SDK or software development kit. this is to write new functions for Studio. all of the plugins for Studio were written using this kit and you can pretty much write any kind of add on with this kit assuming you are a programmer you would need to know C++ programming to get the most out of this. tom I have tested 1.7 on my Vista Laptop and it runs without a glitch for me.
