need more info on Torque 3D

by Andy Simon · in General Discussion · 06/09/2009 (11:36 am) · 4 replies

So I was going to pre order torque 3d, but I need more information on its features, capabilities, and limitations. The information posted on this website is way to little to justify spending 900 dollars only to figure out it can't do what I would like to do.

Thanks!

A better question would be what do you want it to do?

Also, the source code is given so you can make it do anything you want it to if you know how to program.

That's a good question.

Ack! Please ignore that statement.

@David Bedford - Please don't make statements like that. It's very misleading. See this post for a better response. I know that response isn't fully applicable here, but making blanket statements that says "you can do whatever you want with it because you have the source code" is wrong, misleading, and not the message this community should be putting out.

Well informed replies are good. Misleading replies are bad.

@Andy - Follow these development blogs. Look at the bottom of that blog and you'll see another 20 some-odd entries that go through a whole lot of features of T3D. If you have specific questions after that, such as "Does T3D have feature XYZ?" then someone will be happy to answer.

Well actually i found found the killer feature i want: Running in a browser with a built in HTML renderer. So i just went ahead and ordered it :D and ive got the beta 2 downloading.

if any of the graphic features arent as good as I'd like, my team and I will probably make them better. Thanks for the info tony!
