The room isn't very big, but it is a reasonably-sized bedroom. The 40" will fit perfectly in a corner I have for it. The 16 GB of RAM is only $150 too, for DDR3. G.Skill RipJaw series with RAM sinks. :) I figured that I would need that much RAM since I am also going to go dual monitor ( that 40" plus a 19") to help…
A big thanks for all those great and true critics. I agree with all is said above...maybe I went to big for my skills.

I've run into the UV editor, but also the viewport in general took forever just to select a mesh. My "fix" was to…

I just bought the first one a couple of days ago, for the 360, although I played it and beat it for the PC. Great game. And now that I got an HD projector, the game is even more atmospheric than on a 19" monitor. The sound setup I have is ok, but I wish I had something more cause the sound design in Dead Space is AMAZING.…

Hi everyone, I have recently finished a personal environment scene created using 3ds Max, Photoshop, UDK (First time) and xNormal. I wanted to post it up on Polycount to have the chance for more people to see it and to give me any advice that I can use for my future environment pieces. I had a rough concept in my head of a…
