Engine Clarification

#1 Torque 3D will run on machines with on-board video only, you just have to turn off all the advanced lighting and shading features. The performance is highly dependent on the chipset though.

The last project I worked on before coming to InstantAction used T3D and had to work well on on-board only equipment as well. In my experience, the Intel GMA 965 chipset, or anything newer than that, should work without a problem, 950 can work but it can be a little hit and miss depending on the environment and the 945 or lower is more or less a lost cause. The beta testing of that project had some 945 systems work and some not.

We've been working on improving the performance of the engine on low spec hardware as well.

#2 Make it easy on yourself and go with TGE.
T3D and on board chip sets = (head+desk)*N

#3 Hi All Thank you for your reply. Will The TGE supports diffuse maps.

and another question.


will TGEA run without graphics card? or What are the minimum graphics card requirements for TGEA//

#4 @John
TGE and TGEA were discontinued as products in our store over a year ago.

#5 If you buy T3D pro, TGEA and TGE should be included, is that correct Scott ?

#6 Hi all

I am ready to buy t3d. But i want clarfication. i think if i buy T3D tge also included.

Please answer

#7 TGEA will need to be tweaked to do that..and essentially that is what you have with TGE.

All game engines support diffuse maps/color maps/base texture maps.
Perhaps you're meaning to ask about something else ?

// No need to bold your words dude...you could have found your answers if you used the search feature..or even googled the question. Forums archive posts purposely so that new guys can SEARCH them! :P

Aww man, you made my stitches from surgery hurt from laughing at that! But too f'n true in any case :D

Better question: will any modern computer actually run a "real game" without a graphics card? I avoid onboard chips like the plague ;)

#9 surgery ? get well soon MH

#10 Thank you all for your reply. Thank you Michael Hall .
