Hi @Data Juggler,

Congrats on your first plugin products on Reallusion Marketplace!
https://marketplace.reallusion.com/building-creator

I am done with work. I just had to fix a bug, and now I am off for the weekend except for a server update tomorrow night, so chat away! 

I am sure it is pretty simple what I need to learn how to do. A couple of months ago I knew nothing about Python, so baby steps.

Somewhere I thought I read instructions that said you have to place the .pyd in the Bin64 folder.

Thanks for your help, but this is not a high priority for me, I just wanted to learn it.

Putting it on Git Hub and letting the user do what they want with it is easier at this point.

The following PYD files are in C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 7\Bin64\DLLs



In C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 7\Bin64\OpenPlugin only one plugin folder contains several PYD files:



Every other python plugin that I have only contain .PY files in their folders. Since none of the plugins are installed as such, they only require that the user copy the file folder to C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 7\Bin64\OpenPlugin, there's never been a requirement to place anything in the DLL folder. Everything in there is added during the main installation of iClone and never gets touched again by the user.

Search for *.pyd in the search box.

Here's what I have in C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 7\Bin64\OpenPlugin



This is what one of the folders contains:



The rest of the folders a similar.

Search the IClone install directory, and they are in: c:\Program Files\Reallusion\IClone 7\Bin64\OpenPlugin

Someone else I asked a question if the python files came with it, not the same one you responded to, and they responded that no it is a .pyd binary.

I forgot where that answer is who that was.

I have a selection of Python Plugins in iClone and looking inside the various Folders in C:\Program Files\Reallusion\iClone 7\Bin64\OpenPlugin I haven't seen any .pyd files, the only ones showing are all .py files.

I think I have my plug-in code all in the Plug-in format now.

You told me to compile a Python .pyd I will need a unique folder, but I don't know what software compiles python into .pyd format.

Thanks
