Data Heavy environment?

by Rex Hiebert · in Torque 3D Professional · 05/17/2011 (12:08 pm) · 2 replies

I'm currently working with T3D on a project that is data heavy. The built in GUI stuff is not bad but I need something more. I have lots of lists that could really benefit from multi-column display, multi-select, etc. Is it possible to use the T3D engine for the 3D display, physics, object interaction but have the GUI written as maybe a .net winforms project? The idea is that the toolbar, menus, pop-up windows would all be part of the main app while T3D is rendered to a window. Has anyone done this? Does it maintain the same performance level?

So most people are using only the built in GUI? Is there any chance we will see updates to the existing controls in the near future? Any chance of a Qt implementation?

You could embed T3D into a .NET app using it for controls... it has been done by others, but i don't have any code to point you at.
