General question from total beginner

#1 TX is a game engine. It layers on a number of tasks that you would normally have to program yourself, such as tilemapping for 2D games or terrain rendering for 3D games. The 3D Builder tool is in beta right now and is a WYSIWYG application. However, you will still have to know C# and how to program to use XNA and TX. The 3D builder makes object placement, etc much easier than doing it all programmatically or building your own editor tools.

#2 You can also check out the Torque X documentation page for more information. The Torque X engine itself is free, so you can download it from the product page as a demo and try it out before you decide to buy an editor for it.

#3 Hi

Thank you very much for explanation,

I kept on learning C# and found out that it is very hard, also it will be very time consuming for me to learn it and learn how to use it in torque

Do you recommend any easy and good 3d game engine for me to start with?

i already know how to make a 2d game but i want to move further into the 3d world

Thank you for help

#4 If you're interested in learning TorqueScript and C++, you could try the Torque Game Engine. There's a book available called "Torque for Teens" that walks you through how to use the engine and make a very simple game. I went through it myself and found it really helpful in getting my mind wrapped around 3D game creation. Again, I would encourage you to download the demo first before you buy the engine.

Making the leap from 2D to 3D games is going to be somewhat of a challenge. It will take some time and dedication on your part. But if you stick with it, there is no reason you can't make the leap.

#5 Thank you very much for the help

I started downloading

I hate C++ but i will give it a chance

And i am now checking the book

One more question:
Do i have to be a 2d games creating master in order to understand torque game engine,

i mean, i created many 2d games but i cant say that they are professional,,, so can i move to 3rd dimension??

thank you for help

#6 Hi Again,

Today i learned more C# and finished the "classes" section, now i have good understanding of the basics

but i think i won't use it

i saw the torque demo but i felt that it is very hard to use, but it seemed very powerful

so i kept searching

until i found a really great engine

it is called DX Studio

here is a review for the engine [ see comments down, the engine is rated four stars to five stars ]

I am not trying to say that Torque is not good, i just posted the link for beginners like me to see,

the engine has a good wysiwyg editor, it contains its own 3d meshes creation software, it can import meshes in many formats too

scripting objects is in simple form of JAVA, i already know java basics so i had no problem with it, people who know action script will find it very easy [ almost same action script syntax ], just view 3 sample codes and you will make a character that can move

i already did one :D

I advice all beginners to start there and then move to more powerful engines like Torque [ i liked torque abilities but i cant use them yet :) )

Thank you all for support!

#7 You were struggling with C# but know Java...?

#8 Yeah i know java basics and some stuff in it because i am a web designer, also flash action script is similar to java somehow
