If you build it, they will come! If you want to attract third-party developers, build and define a plug-in spec, then prove you've got a horde of enthusiastic users yearning for new tools. When you work on the plug-in spec, take any 3D Studio publication and call everyone who makes IPAS plug-ins. It's not a secret, but any plug-in maker will react enthusiastically to an invitation to port their programs. It's much easier to increase profits by making an easy port to a new market, as opposed to incremental increases of market share in the market you're already in.
