TGEA ...or... TGE?

This is somethign that I am really having toruble with. I cant deside which engine I should use for my game. I own both TGE and TGEA. In my game I need shaders ..so theres 1 point for tgea. I also need large terrain, theres another point for tgea. But the problem with the terrain in that I am not very knowledgeable with tools like l3dt or terragen, so I woulnt be able to make good looking terrains. The terrain is my biggest problem. Even If I could find someone to build terrains for me ;-) then I wouldnt have a problem. Of cource I would pay you if your interested. Back to the point...I just dont know what I should do. Any ideas.

And BTW I was serious about the job for creating terrians :-)

Adam,

If you haven't already, check out Russell Fincher's .plan about his adventures in TGEA terraining. If that doesn't help you, he or his company compatriots might be up for a side job. Who knows? It might be worth a try.

Good luck.

Having used both. I say TGEA and deal with it's short comings, that's what i am doing. Then again i know a good deal about C/C++ and am making most of my modifications/optimizations that way.

Two questions!!
1. Is TGEA the same product as what used to be called TSE (Early Adopter License)?
2. Is TGEA a complete engine?
3. Are there any screenshots available of the product?

1.- yes.. it is the same as TSE..

2.- yes ..it is a direct x 9 shader based torque game engine.. it also includes some extras besides shaders.. like the atlas terrain but that is somewhat premature..also you need a direct x 9 compliant card to use it

3.- yes.. go to the torque game engine advanced and look for the screenshots sections.. there you will see what is tgea capable of ...

Cheers!
