Smart IBL works slightly different in each
application, because of SDK differences and
application-specific features. However, we were working
hard on consolidation and all loader scripts support at
least the basic "drop each image into the right slot"
feature. If you want to see your favorite CG app listed
here, join our Developer Forum, or send your
