you would be better server to formulate some questions before asking for a broad overview.
what I would recommend is selecting a given section and researching and Then asking questions about it.
for example:
you want to know about Character model integration.
so you start by locating all the related scripts. and also the art assets and then the source art.
once you have learned all these components. you can delve deeper.
by either creating your own character, or going to the source code to examine the features coded up for character models.
this is one of the larger more complex arena's perhaps choose something simpler.
you can perform the above steps for any component in the engine.
terrain for example, you would start by locating all the related scripts and how the material setup is configured. then carry that to the terrain asset file (heightmap) and then the source art and finally the source code.
hope that helps you get some more start.

thank u for ur attention.suppose i start with the terrain,what exactly do you mean by the material setup and its configuration?i am familiar with the concept of heightmaps though.while going through the torque game engine sdk demo,the only terrain script file i could come through was sdk/example/demo/data/terrains/highplains/propertymap.cs. are there any other file/files?
