[GD-General] what you look for in a physics engine coder...engine transaction

[CAVEY G. <GER...@sg...>]

Hi

My question is a bit OT but anyway ...
when you give someone the job to write the next generation
physics engine, what profiles do you look for?I m not sure a basic =
engineer
can fit the task.
Any experience with it ?
IMO nowadays we can no longer fake physics (for actions titles).

Second OT question what could be the price of a "good enough" 3D engine =
plus
the surrouding tools
+ plugins for 3d apps?
I heard the Quake3 engine cost was 500 000$ ,but this is (was ,domm3 is
going to bury it )
a ground breaking technology i know ...
And the price of a "good enough" physics engine?
When you sell such a technology how does it work? Do you have to sell =
some
support,
patchs,consulting ....?

Thanks in advance

GC.
