Irrlicht Engine

Hi,

Please correct me if I've posted my first post wrong!

A question for curiousity! What hardware and software do you use for your game development and what do you recommend!

ok, my answer first

Pc: Intel P4, 3.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 320 GB HDD

Software : Irrlicht with SFML, IrrBullet, IrrOpenSteer on C::B, MinGW, Truevision3D with VB

IrrEdit, Maya, Photoshop, Poser etc for Level, Modeling, Image work, character animation

My guess: This thread belongs to offtopic.

Machine: Mac Mini 2009 model: Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram, 180 HDD.
Software: Irrlicht, own generic physics wrapper(supporting Bullet, Physx, Tokamak, and adding more), Own xml based scripting, own file format or B3D.
Tools: Blender, own export script for level info and mesh info.

Yeah, thread moved to off-topic.

Just 2 word Nice and Polite!
actually many more like great,Fast , friendly etc.

For software I also used Irrlicht + C::B in the past. But also using Visual Studio a lot by now (using more than one compiler is always good anyway - finds more problems). Personally I like Blender and Gimp, but couldn't persuade the artist I worked with to use those - he definitely prefered Maya and Photoshop.
Poser is not a good idea for games, as their license doesn't allow distributing the model as far as I know. For sound-processing Audacity is pretty great.

and Hardware?

Hardware doesn't matter so much anyway, I've developed on a really ancient system until just a few months ago. On my new system now I cared mainly about a mixture of energy efficiency for still acceptable speed. So Intel i5-2500t, 8GB ram and GeForce GTX 550 Ti (graphic card using most of the power in my system, but was one of the lowest cards that had newest CUDA support).

Just 2 hour ago, read MakeHuman Alpha 7 released. Great features (in todo lists also) Also, meshes made can be used in commercial games etc. So, to professional, Is using MH a good idea for a rookie?

No idea how MakeHuman works by now. In the past the problem for game-developers was that they used a hi-poly model which isn't suited for games. But maybe they added low-poly as well by now (they considered it once I think).

What I use: In general anything that has Linux and is post y2k. Nope, sorry I forgot about my Homebrew 6502, XD. But my main dev pc is a humble, aged Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, 4Gb RAM and a Nvidia GTS250 and a secondary PC with a AMD 6950 GPU with several assorted HDD's and running Ubuntu 12.10. There's several more (headless) PC's too some better some worse, mostly scavenged dumpster rescues, doing some hacked/botched together Server stuff, I try to have them work most of the time... As for dev related software the major ones I use are Blender, Gimp, CodeBlocks and Audacity. Obviously there's also many little things. But then... there's the Linux CLI, by far the best thing among all other software!

I use an old Fujitsu notebook: C2D 2.1GHz, 4GB DDR2, 320GB HDD, 8400GS as my main machine.
My secondary machine is a dual core celeron netbook.
Also use a crappy Trust Flex tablet.

Software I use:
GIMP, UVUnwrap, Wings3D, Misfit Modeller (MS3D clone), MSVC++ express, C::B, Eclipse and mingw

See a lot of Maya users, actually paying ones I assume ? :trollface:
Don't worry, I run an OS X VM myself.

My hardware?
Processor: Intel Pentium 4, 3.20GHz (hyperthreaded) (Two fans)
RAM: 1.5GB DDR2
HDD: 80GB 7200RPM
Graphics card: ASUS NVidia 7600 GT, 256MB GDDR3 (OpenGL 2.1.2)

Software:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 with a manually updated kernel (3.6.1 generic)
Compiler: GCC (g++)
IDE: Code::Blocks 10.05
Irrlicht version 1.7.3
GIMP 2.8
Blender 2.6.2
the default x-term terminal
Gedit

Misc.
A calculator (actually useful)
Extra cooling (Open computer case, open window (it is *cold* outside))
Pen and paper (useful for quickly writing up some pseudo code for something or for visualizing an array)
Music (helps me concentrate)
