have knowledge, will travel

Hi

I find it very annoying that blender goes open source and I have no clue about c/c++ (which one is necessary by the way?)

The things I have got knowledge about are:

Blender (not the game engine, not python yet)
German
Photoshop
Freehand8
QuarkXpress
Flash5
HTML and CSS, partly javascript.
tiny bit of japanese
sneaked a bit into java
Basic and Assembler on the C=64

So if there´s a coder out there who´d like to exchange knowledge, please contact me.

kind of C++ newbie teamwork is also welcome.

thanks HH

no c=128, you make me sick

go to your local book store and pick up a book man

haunt_house · September 8, 2002, 11:48am

thanks for the tip. Never thought of that before

you make me sick

should I consider that a privilege?

         but he writes pretty good hello world programs

         if you ask him!!!!!")

If you want to know how long of an exposure to use with your holographic plates this will help

Code:

/* a program to calculate the exposure time, for holographic
plates/film based on the microjoule/cm2 reqired for the media
this only works for single beam reflection holograms at this time.
Copy Michael Velikanje
*/
#include <iostream.h>

float mil = 0;
float joul = 0;
float out = 0;
float exposure = 0;
float cm1,cm2,area_cm2 = 0;
float plate1,plate2 = 0;
float Area = 0;
float time = 0;
float Time = 0;
int i = 0;
char minutes = " minutes";
float Laser_milliwatt(float a) // calculate the milliwatt/sec power of the laser
{
float milli = 0;
milli = a / 1000;
//cout << a << " Laser output " << milli << "
" ;
return milli;

}

float Convert_to_microjoule(float a) // calculate the microjoule output of the
{ // laser
float joul = 0;
joul = a * 1000000;
//cout << a << " output joule" << joul << "
";
return joul;
}

float Area_convert(float a, float b) // calculate the area of the plate in cm2
{
cm1 = a * 2.54;
cm2 = b * 2.54;
area_cm2 = cm1 * cm2;

return area_cm2;
}

float exposure_time(float j, float e, float a) // calculate the exposure time in seconds
{ // a is area, j is microjules output, e is exposure in microjules
time = a / ( j / e);

return time ;
}

void print_time(float a)
{
cout << "The exposure time is approx.: " ;
if ( time > 60 ) // if the time in seconds is greater than 60 calculate and print the time in minutes.
{ Time = time / 60 ; cout << Time ; }
else cout << Time ;
if ( time > 60 ) // if the time is printed in minutes print minutes other wise print seconds.
{ cout << " minutes.
";}
else cout << " seconds.
";
}

void main()
{
cout << "
Enter the lasers power output in milliwatts (5, 10, 15…) in integer form.
Then hit enter: ";
cin >> mil ; // Get the lasers output in integer form
cout << "Enter the plate/films exposure in microjoule/cm2: ";
cin >> exposure; // Get the rated exposure in microjules
cout << "Enter the height of the plate in inches: ";
cin >> plate1;
cout << "Enter the width of the plate in inches: " ;
cin >> plate2; cout << "
";

joul = Laser_milliwatt(mil);
out = Convert_to_microjoule(joul);
Area = Area_convert(plate1, plate2);
Time = exposure_time(out, exposure, Area);
cout << "*********************************************
";
print_time(Time);
cout << "*********************************************
";
cout << "
Laser output in milliwatts: " << mil << "
";
cout << "Laser output in microjoule’s: " << out << "
" << "The exposure in microjule/cm2: " << exposure
<< "
" ;
cout << "The plate area in cm2 is: " << Area << "

";

}

Coding isn’t all that hard, you just have to want something that you can’t get other wise 8)

C=64 all the way! At times I dream about porting Blender to my Commodore… no, just kidding. 16 colors would make terrible renders, not to mention the time it’ll take!

Skontar, you missed a semi-colon and void before the main … but the intention is all the same. It’s great when there are people willing to help out newbies. It’s tough starting out, not knowing who to turn to.

Hey, I’d help out … but I hate newbies. Kidding! No, it’s just that I don’t really have any time to even program for myself because of school. Sigh… Busy days.

#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

     {
         printf("VelikM is a better programmer than skontar

         but when Blender sources are open

         he will find enough motivation to become

         one of Blender's developers!!!!!

         by the way, Waffler you are right about

         the semicolon but you are wrong about the

         void before the main.....

         it's not necessary!!!! ");
     }

CubeFan973 · September 8, 2002, 4:39pm

Mainly C, but a little C++ could help. I have no idea of how.

I want to learn Python for no apparent reason, though! I think it can be used to add onto C programs, right?

10 print"oh, so it is that easy to be a coder....you just hit the code-button."

looks hard for the run/stop button to end the viscious loop!

10 ? “COMMODORE WILL NEVER DIE!”
20 GOTO 10

RUN

It is still and will remain for a very long time the most sold computer ever.

And it is more stable than linux

there is a nice emulator: ccs64

English

It compiles with g++
It’s my personal bastardization of C/C++

overextrude · September 9, 2002, 8:27pm

Actually, there’s a couple of undeclared variables that keep it from compiling. : )

This turned out to be quite a nice little diversion for me - just for the hell of it, I spent some time remodeling it, to see what I could do to make it more standard-compliant. If you’d like, I’d be happy to e-mail you a copy.

It compiles on g++ OS X. Please send me your version, I’d like to see what the diff’s are.

         I guess. But apart from that, I think you also need

         to learn some basic C/C++ syntax!!!

         May I suggest 'The C Programming Language' by

         B. Kernighan and D. Ritchie???? It's the best!!!!")
