i don't have much time for this at the moment so it would be great if several people could work together.

the first necessary steps would be:

• figure out how to use external dlls with lite-c (<edit> it's described here: http://www.conitec.net/beta/litec_api.htm </edit>)
  
• figure out how to best access the geometry of models (probably the most elegant way would be to access the direct3d mesh buffers of models but i have no experience with this and i it always takes me ages to dig through the microsoft docs. would be great if someone could help here. the other possibility would be to use a c-dll wrapper of mdl7.lib.)
  
• some utility functions for converting between newton matrices and xyz/pan tilt roll/scalexyz (i can provide those)
  

the rest should be relatively easy. it should be just a matter of building more and more elaborate examples/tutorials/templates.
