Memory
One of the most fundamental RT3D concepts, memory is the amount of quickly-retrievable space available for assets currently being used by the game. This includes textures, geometry, geometry animation, interface artwork, AI, etc. RT3D applications use a number of different types of memory, but RT3D artists are mostly concerned with RAM. The biggest question for the artist is how much RAM is available for textures. (Need to cross-reference RAM, Video mem, Texture Mem, etc.).
