hy.
I would modify the blender source in matter that i can call in/blender function from a my c++ project and get the result.
A similar to 3dstudio game interface dll.
Is possible?
How?
i must create a dll?
and work in linux and in win?
Thanks-

Your basic problem here is that Blender an application, not a library. It was never meant to be used in that way. This was a problem with adding Python scripting.

Your best approachs are:

- extend Blender via its Python interpreter either with Python code or adding new embedded C/C++ code

- add new functions to Blender with C/C++.

thanks, but if i add new functions in c/c++ how call they from a my c++ game editor c++ application?
The solution under win can be to trasform blender in a com server?

In 3ds there is a dll that do all the work , i conntect my c++ game editor to this dll and i can import meshes textures ecc...
naturally 3ds must be opened and the mesh loaded.
Thanks.

You cannot. That was my point. There is no blender .dll or shared library that can be used outside of Blender.

With more than a little work, you could add a remote procedure call feature to Blender, COM or CORBA, for instance.
