It seems the helpcenter has us at 8.1 and the link to the SDK is dead. Does anyone have the current SDK Link? Especially to 8.5 for unlocking figures etc.
Thanks
Milo

rk.
went to carrara cafe. came across a link for a python editor for carrara 7. ... forgot to bookmark it >.<
Python, Carrara can´t.
Only this: http://carraracafe.com/?s=pycarrara
d/l the sdk. don't know what file to launch it?
do i need c++ or something?
thanks.
i'm an excel vba programmer. can't imagine the learning curve
Sorry, I´m not a prgrammer.
Docu files are included in the sdk zip file, I think.
a wot?
"A valid Python 2.6.x interpreter is required for proper operation."
Updated the SDK news page at CarraraCafe, includes a new link to Visual Studio that always includes a free version for individual developers.
Looks like MS added Mac and Linux app support, times are changing:

Do we have latest Reference document available in PDF format for writing plugins for Carrara?
I'm afraid such document does not exist. In the "doc" directory of the SDK archive, there are 2 documents:
They seem more or less up to date (there are a few errors, specifically in the cookbook where modifications in the example sources have not been reported).
The only "reference" document are the include files.
The API Reference is in a earlier version C8_SDK_8.0.0.215. It's in HTML format.
I copied it over to the C8_SDK_8.1.1.12 Doc-directory.
The downloadlinks for older SDKs on CarraraCafe.com are broken.
WendyCatz posted a link that is still active:

https://carraracafe.com/download/8506/
This link should work - SDK 8.1.1.12
That link is fine. But the links of older ones are not. It is the older 8.0.0.215 SDK that holds the API reference.
FYI, the above link has some trailing characters on it that confuse the archive server, but a slightly tweaked link still works!

Maybe rk66 can consolidate that version on carrara-cafe too - CC is truly a godsend for the remaining Carrara gems.
RuudL, thanks for posting that original link - I'd missed this thread and was glad to scoop it up.
cheers,

Now, gotta track down the Carrara 7.0 SDK backup...
/Edit
Updated the CarraraCafe news post with the youtube tutorial links
https://carraracafe.com/carrara-8-sdk-here/
Here is an old website snapshot showing all the old SDK versions, from 1.1 to 6.0:
http://web.archive.org/web/20071013223345/http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/support/downloads/-/?product=car_sdk
No luck downloading any of them.
Trying to upload the Carrara 7.0 SDK to CarraraCafe, but having some issues now. Will be up soon.
/Edit. Done, both the downloads page and the news post with all 3 SDK versions are updated now.
