You can simply use open_dll(). The name is a little misleading. Any file
that exports functions or variables will work with open_dll() (.dll, .exe,
.ocx, etc). So writing the dll in Euphoria is your best way to go.
However, that's about as far as I can help you, since all the information on
creating and using plugins for/with AC3D seems to be reserved for the
registered version. With the new dll features, this should be pretty
simple, although you might have to fiddle with the names of the exported
files (using a .def file), since I'm guessing that AC3D looks for a certain
entry point to access the plugin.
