Arnold SDK is Missing files?

Hi,

It's been real confusing trying to figure out why Max arnold SDK is missing some files, the process was further hindered by the fact that there is no clear statement if the SDK is fully included in MaxtoA or not with no clear seperate install for it either, i had to really google that one and i'm still not 100% certain it is.

The files i'm specificlaly looking for are:
ai.h
ai.lib

which are supposed to be in the SDK but don't seem to be.

Can anyone here clarify all this?

Thanks.

MAXtoA doesn't include the Arnold SDK. My guess is that decision was made a long time ago, when users could also download the Arnold SDK separately. 

Now, you'd need an Arnold subscription to see the Arnold SDK in your Autodesk account. Or, if you had a Collection or Maya subscription, you could get the Arnold SDK there.

 

The Arnold SDK would be separate lib and include folders.

Thanks Stephen, I think I got it sort it out. 

Regardless though, it would be good to include it alongside MaxToA.
