Compilation:

	- Clone the git repository into a local folder:

		mkdir <sampler_folder>
		cd <sampler_folder>
		git clone git://github.com/joesfer/Sampler.git 
		
	- Build the plugin using CMake:

		cd <sampler_folder>
		mkdir .build
		cd .build
		
		e.g. To compile for 32-bit maya under Windows using Visual Studio 2008
		
			cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -DMAYA_ARCH=x86 ..
		
		e.g. Compile for 64-bit maya under Windows using Visual Studio 2008 x64

			cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64" -DMAYA_ARCH=x64 ..
		
		Under windows: cmake will generate a Visual studio solution on .build
		Under linux: cmake will generate a GCC makefile

		Build the plugin using visual studio or make.

		This will find the precompiled renderLib and build the .mll plugin
		under <sampler_folder>/bin

	- Load the .mll file in Maya's plugin manager.
	- Load the provided MEL script for an example on how to use the nodes.
