Hello,

I've been working on a tangent basis plugin for Unity3D and so far I've only managed to write an x86 plugin.

Any hints on how to do an x64 version?

I'm totally new to C++ and to Visual C++ (I'm using the free Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition). It's mostly totally above my head, but as far as I'm aware it should just be a matter of changing some project settings then building?

VS Express == no 64 bits. You must use Pro, Ultimate or Team editions for that.

Just take into considerations the size_t's size is 64 bits and prepare the pointers for 64bits. It's pretty easy.

Then, link with the xNormal's .libs for 64 bits and voilá.

EDIT: Never mind, VS2008 doesn't install the x64 compilers and tools by default. Gah.
