can you be a little more specific. what size screen etc. if you want a workstation class laptop you will have to get 15-17 screen. sager has some of the best quality workstation class designs around without the branding markup. http://www.sagernotebook.com/
Well, I used to get horrible performance in Max after turning "dx display of material" on bump mapped materials (using bump in standard mat instead of using a shader). It would take 10-15 seconds to take an undo step. Don't know if this helps at all...
Well, the MBP is a nice laptop with a pleasant OS. But for work with the software you mention the (stationary) PC will be the better choice. Besides, none of those programs are any fun at all on a 15-inch monitor on the go so I don't quite see the appeal to get a laptop for them.
If you already love bioware rpgs then you must play Jade Empire you can pick it up for like $10-$15 on Xbox live games on demand. Epics martials arts rpg with a solid bioware story and some really cool character and environment design.
I've got a livestream channel up JM3D ignore the 15 minute video, I had my channel open in another window so it's an endless loop! I'm gonna eat some din din and I'll be back at 8 (maybe a little preshow banter before that)
Just a little curious, you say DoD is about 10 hours long? Whenever we clocked it, it was about 15-20 hours(this may have been before the load times were improved, however). Just curious to see if you played through the entire game?
I have an idea for a TF2 weapon, it automatically kills all users with the name MasterGamerKid on the whole level and can be used more than once. Oh, and +15% to critical chance. (But yes, make a model, and then post your idea. And yes, you can make stuff on macs.)
I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but what the hell. You spend 15+ hours a day in one spot, you feel the need to show it off. I have hip new specs now, so this pic doesn't show off the true me, haha.
I don't find the 5 year timeline hard to believe. I've known game developers with more than that on their resume and no published titles. I consider myself lucky with my track record and as it stands will be doing this for another 10-15 years if I have my way.
Ah ok thanks for the advice guys. I think I'll try to use it atleast 15-20 minutes a day and work on my 2d skills along with texturing skills. Ugh but at this rate I'm gonna go crazy waiting on it to arrive. UPS is so damn slow.
