Is there a writing example of using the Melange library? There are some bits and pieces in the commandline example,
but it's not enough. I'm looking for an complete example that fills empty document and writes it out?
Preferably, an example that uses joints.

the commandline example includes a complete example how to create and export a scene with melange sdk. the LoadSaveC4DScene() has a part of source code where where CreateSceneToC4D() is used. comment in the part after "// ... or save new created scene" of the example code (and comment out the part before where BaseDocument::CopyTo() is used intstead).

the function CreateSceneToC4D() calls the functions:
BuildMaterialToC4D()
BuildLayerToC4D()
BuildObjectsToC4D() -> CreateObjectToC4D

CreateObjectToC4D() shows the creation of polygon, null, camera, light and a few other objects. the creation of joints is not included yet.

here's a short example how to add a skin object, 2 joint objects and the weight tag to a document:

BaseDocument *newDoc = BaseDocument::Alloc();
if (!newDoc)
return FALSE;

// create and add polygon object here
          BaseObject *mObj = BaseObject::Alloc(Opolygon);
          // add points and polygons...
          // ...

BaseTag *wTag = NULL;
if (mObj)
wTag = mObj->MakeTag(Tweights);

// add skin object
          BaseObject *sObj = BaseObject::Alloc(Oskin);
          if (sObj)
               sObj->InsertUnder(mObj);

// add null object
          BaseObject *nObj = BaseObject::Alloc(Onull);
          if (nObj)
          {
               newDoc->InsertObject(nObj, NULL);
               nObj->SetName("Root");
               nObj->SetRelPos( Vector(0.0,-400.0,0.0) );
          }

// add 2 joint objects
          BaseObject *jObj1 = BaseObject::Alloc(Ojoint);
          if (jObj1)
          {
               jObj1->InsertUnder(nObj);
               jObj1->SetName("Joint.1");
               jObj1->SetRelPos( Vector(0.0,0.0,0.0) );
          }

BaseObject* jObj2 = BaseObject::Alloc(Ojoint);
          if (jObj2)
          {
               jObj2->InsertUnder(jObj1);
               jObj2->SetName("Joint.2");
               jObj2->SetRelPos( Vector(0.0,450.0,0.0) );
          }

if (wTag && jObj1 && jObj2)
          {
               ((WeightTagData* )wTag->GetNodeData())->AddJoint(jObj1);
               ((WeightTagData* )wTag->GetNodeData())->AddJoint(jObj2);
          }

// save the document and free the objects
// ...
