A call for Artist & Coders!!

[PSmonkey]

I know c/c++ pretty well. As for trig and algebra, I haven't had much experiance, but I have done a scarce amount of study in school. But I am definately willing todo a couple hours of reading ... So I guess you can decide whether I'm sufficient enough, or not

Please PM me some code snipits accomplishing thies three things (they might see simple but they prove knollage of specific things to me).

1) A function that returns a boolean if bit X is on or off in value Y. Please make the input be U32 (Unsigned int).

2) Make a function that accepts a string (which is the full path to a file) and will change it's file extension for a suplied one (example, will change BobCat.bmp for BobCat.tga). It must work in all cases

3) Write an optimised function that gives the dot product of 2 floating point vectors (x,y,z).

I've wanted to give max a go for quite a while really. My only limiting factor is that I lack software. I'll do what I can to get my hands on max...is there a chance i can run across a student license?
I'll do my research too...but yes, i am pretty sure I can do work in max. So long as its UI isn't as jumbled as maya. Blender really isn't that nice to use either.
Why oh why did I lose my XP install disc? Macs aren't friendly for much of anything...except video editing...I like FinalCut (offtopic)

Hmm. This might be an issue. Produkt, Any sudgestions (since he is on a mac)?

I would like to help, but at the moment i dont think I could do mutch, as I know Lua and basic art stuff, apart from BETA test.

But soon hopefully I could because I'm learning C at collage and have a good understanding in Trig & Algebra as I'm an engineer, so I have to know it.

So what I'm saying is if the posts are open later on I would be more than happy to help.

-Edit-
Is the 3D game going to be Iris?

No word yet on what the 3d game is. it's dependant on how much staff I get and what they wish to do.

Also please do get back to me. Doing a project like this while you learn at university/college will help you emencly (specialy if you in the future wish to have a job in the industry).

Monkey, is there any chance that the 3d project can be a continuation of the unfinished paintball shooter which you started?

[yaustar]

IIRC Blender and now an older version of Bryce are free for 3D modelling.

also a 30 day free trial of 3ds max from the official website...

i suggest a 30 day psmonkey compo...
