Hello , nice to meet you ,
without fanfare , some of the beginner stuff seems outdated . the VSstudio 10 express for one seems a bit hard to locate at MS dot com and I really dont know what to download instead . Please recommend something (free). Thank You

The old T3D tutorials on this site are outdated. We have a community wiki up with more recent information..
As for IDEs we're using Visual Studio 2013 (link to Community edition (free)) and Visual Studio 2015 (link to Community edition (free)) for Windows development these days (only one or other, don't need both Visual Studio versions). They both have Community editions that are free to use. Note that those Visual Studio development tools require Windows 7 SP1 and later, best to have 6GB+ RAM, and Torque 3D alone needs a decent video card to run smoothly cause it's a lot more power hungry than Torque Game Engine was.
Relevant wiki pages for building for Windows are available.

It is not required to compile Torque 3D in order to use it, especially if you don't care to make any engine changes. Community provided prebuild Torque 3D binaries are available.The old T3D tutorials on this site are outdated. We have a community wiki up with more recent information..
