hmmm .. Good keep it up … Instead of writing a game engine I suggest you to go with UDK .. unreal development kit … it will save you alot of time … but do develop a game engine for your experince
I was a web programer / programmer .. Now im totally in Animation field .. I tested almost all 3d apps … using 3ds max for 6years .. but now on maya because Max works only on windows
I was in your situation before … I have powerful computers in office .. but i want something powerful in home as well .. Four years ago i bought Dell Dimension PC with 24"ultrasharp dual core .. one i can afford at that time …
then after two year i feel like i need a laptop for comfort .. to lay on bed and work .. but found too weak to do actually work
Now six months ago .. i was looking to something really powerful .. HP z800 with dual Xeon / Quadro Fx 5600 or 5800 ..with lots of ram .. but when i compare prices and spec with Mac pro … i find mac pro more suitable .. and plan to install windows & linux on mac … but OS X change my mind .. and i switched my favourite max to Maya .. but im happy
So moral of story … If you want something powerful to work with 3D , rendering / smiulations … go with Workstation ..
and i think you need bigger screen as well .. if you buy a laptop with 17" screen its not portable any more .. i had dell percision M laptop 17" inch before from campany .. it was really hard to move it around
well, yes, but it doesnt cover much space on your table, you it is hard indeed, but you can always move it around and set it up.
if I go for a tower I will have to look for their cooler also..
UDK is wht i intend to use until i am comfy with dx programming.
so you are saying tht I should buy the 21wx…have you seen the size of it? Its huge..I was really planning on buying it but than I was like “maybe its too big for my work space.”
I am starting up from home so…
