Hey thanks guys, I'm actually considering the Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 which I can pickup for dirt cheap on ebay (~$300) with lense. Apparently the only difference between the A200 and the A350 is quote "the A300 is essentially an A200 with an articulating LCD screen and Live View mode, the A350 also raises the resolution from…
The physical simulation of the particles will be the main cost on this type of effect. You have the physics side and the render side of the effect. As an example on today's consoles you could easily have an explosion emit 100-300 sparks for a short period of time with limited physics, as long as they are simply dots and…
Ok, on a technical level, the best engine that is released(so Unreal 3.0 doesn't quite count yet) is easily the Doom 3 engine. The source engine has nice physics code, but the renderer is pretty average. In fact it looks as if little has changed since the HL engine other than adding some better game art and a few…

Your rendered bamboo shoots are about 80x600 pixels, which means they need a texture of about (2πr) -> 240x600 pixels for a 1:1 display. Usually you can afford to go a bit lower. I'd go for a 512² like this: Which gives you two separate textures for the sheets, a border for the top edges if you need a broken shoot at some…
I saw someone complaining that after spending 300 hours in Diablo3, they're ragequitting because there's nothing to do anymore. Wtf man? 300 hours? The game costs as much as my most loved game Mass Effect 3, which for me got me 14 hours. If you really go in and finish the game thoroughly you get 30 hours or so. You got 10…
The last two issues of PC Gamer (UK) have a guide on building a gaming rig for £476. First issue was the components and putting it together, current issue is overclocking it. I agree with Toomas here, I reckon it would be wiser to through the money at a new rig instead of tryign to squeeze more out of what you already…
