Thanks for your answer marciano.
This means yes, which is good. Somebody told me I would have to use Microsoft's Visual C++ in order to be able to use Horde3D. From your answer I don't. I have done a lot of C++ programming making simulations and visualizations using OpenGL but embarrassingly I'm not very familiar with using libraries, dll'd for game engines etc. and linking it into my applications.
I've downloaded the files and understand I need the Horde3D.dll the Horde3D.h but I'm missing the .lib files..? I guess what I should do is to find out is how to make a .lib from the source? Right? or am I far out? Or is the Horde3D.dll really all I need?
