Small Tools package

by iHugMedia · in Torque Game Engine · 03/20/2006 (4:27 am) · 3 replies

As an artist/coder/programmer, I'd used alot of free tools, finding may useless or unessesary for their assigned task.

So I put together this small 13 meg package of tools.
It includes a 3D Modelling program, Blender, A CSG modeler for Interiors, QuArK, Two Free Torque-specific IDE's, TorqueIDE and Tribal, Paint.net, a small semi-powerful windows image-prosessing Program, aswell as a customisable launcher program (available seperatly here) that reads the settings for up to 22 buttons from an ini file. I wrote this package to be distributed to artists/coders by the project leader to avoid fiddling about with finding free tools for download.

The source to the Launcher is included. Please, post feedback/feature requests/useful tools for me to add to the package.

NOTE: this is completely windows oriented. Sorry mac users :(

Good idea! I have also looked and tried many different software packages looking for one that meets all my needs.

A good addition to this package would be an IDE with a C++ compiler. For Windows I suggest Microsoft Visual Studio Express. For Mac you can use XCode and I know there is some info about universal binaries in the forums. For Linux i don't of a specific IDE but I know you can use GCC to compile.

I have not tried Paint.net but I use Gimp instead.

Remember that to include VS 2005 Express, you need to also include the Platform SDK and DirectX SDK to get everything up and running nicely...
