visual studio question

[Todd Widup]

is there an easy way to configure VS to compile a maya plugin for both 2013 and 2014?  as in, is there a way to specify in the project setup something to handle this?

Don't know about easy but you have to make separate project-configurations that have different include and lib paths and then you can compile multiple configurations with Build->Batch build . To make life a little easier when it comes to specifying different paths you could set a default path for all projects for include-path to be: 

$(MAYA_SDK)\$(MAYA_VERSION)\include

And then use property sheets to set MAYA_SDK and MAYA_VERSION. MAYA_SDK could be set in one property sheet that is included for all configurations and MAYA_VERSION would need to be in a separate property sheet for each configuration per configuration where it is set to 2014 or 2013 respectively. Then when you need to compile for a new version of maya you just clone the configuration and include another property sheet that sets MAYA_VERSION to 2015.

That's one way of doing it at least, hopefully someone else has a better solution to share.

Btw, I enjoyed your Mechanical Rigging class :)
