(*) Please note: We are starting half an hour earlier than the Supermeet.

The entire SDK Team will be there, leading you through the day. Of course we are available for discussions and Q&A during both days of the Supermeet.

DevKitchen itself is free. As a DevKitchen attendee you will get free access to the entire Supermeet, including food, drinks and the party in the evening of day one. Being registered for DevKitchen, you do not need to acquire a separate ticket for the Supermeet.
By now DevKitchen is fully booked. We are not able to accept any additional registrations. Sorry.
For details on location and how to get there, please see the Cinema 4D Supermeet page.

There’s another interesting option:

As a plugin developer you may want to present your plugin to our users. Actually all islands on our “playground” are booked by now. But there will also be an “open stage”, where you could still reserve a time slot to present your plugins during day two of the Supermeet. If this sounds interesting to you, please contact us for further discussion.

Looking forward to meet you,
your SDK Team

  1. Hello
    Thank you and team for examples at github.
    Sorry i did not to be at devkitchen

    I did not understand how to assembly python example at github. Scons and project tool?! if will be possible to cover in this blog after party.

    I compile and learn r20 features.

  2. Hi,
    we have updated the readme (https://github.com/PluginCafe/devkitchen_2018) on GitHub to better explain the usage of the examples.
    In regards to the project tool, I’d rather not discuss here in this blog. After all we have the Plugin Café forum for discussion and would like to keep information concentrated there. Please come over to our completely renewed forum https://plugincafe.maxon.net and we can continue discussing there.
    Cheers,
    Andreas
