Size-wise, textures are HUGE. Actually, in a typical 3D game, 90%+ of the space on disk (and of GPU bandwidth/RAM) are used by textures.

3D anti-aliasing algorithms can be divided into two large groups: 'proper' anti-aliasing (the one which tries to avoid anti-aliasing in the first place), and 'post-processing' anti-aliasing (the one which creates an aliased image – and then post-processes it to make it look better).

for the purposes of the MOG network communications, I usually suggest using Euler angles to represent rotations/orientations

One thing which persistently haunts 3D developers, is polygon count.

Using 3D engine can improve your 2D picture dramatically.

Another Quote:

Strictly speaking, “shader” is a program which is executed for each “vertex” or each “pixel”

If you’re using double buffering AND perform buffer swap in sync with the V-Sync signal, your monitor will show your game just as a movie projector with shutter would show a cartoon in the cinema

I’ve seen a pretty minimal 2D engine written from scratch at a cost of 4-6 person-weeks
