I have a pretty good rig . GTX 580, i7 950 processor, 12 GB memory But my seagate 1 TB hard drive lets me down. Can I get some feedback on what Hard Drives are good for loading times, Bootup. But also just practically good for gaming . Price range not a problem but Not over say $600 thank you
I had to switch over from Maya to Max about a year ago for work. While I would get some pointers and such from my leads.. The best way is to start modeling. When you think of doing something that you would normally do in maya, just google it. You'll eventually have everything figure red out. You could just change the…
Obviously use this if you haven't since "bumpiness" has been brought up. //assuming you are already just worth mentioning again.

My idea is to choose a map I loved in a game I used to play and make a map based off of it for an 'actual' game. I will update this post as often as I can and hope I will hear back from you, I…

Hi guys, bit of a weird topic, but I figure I could try asking here: Me and my girlfriend live in different countries since I moved to London. She's decided she wants to pick up a console to play games against me since that's more fun than just skyping, and she's seen me play online against my friends with Xbox Live. So…
Pior is just an HDR pooper, must be the french. I for one think they both look AWESOME. There are plenty of photographs with lots of depth, this is something new and has it's own awesomeness. VIVA LA HDR!
