1. Go to the online documentation
2. Read this line at the top of the tutorial:

Quote:New Assets
Before we continue, we are going to need some additional images and particles. If you have not already done so in a past tutorial, click here for instructions on adding the additional assets.

Click on the last part "click here for instructions on adding the additional assets." That will give you the images.

No I'm sorry what I meant was the particles that came with the project are not visible, such as the rain.

@Taylor - So under the particle effects rollout, you do not see an entry called rain? Nothing there at all?

I only see The "New Effect", and the "Garage Games Logo Effect"

That's strange. Can you open up the console.log file in the same directory as the editor (tgb)? You can open it with any text editor. Search for "warning", "error" or "missing". That should lead us to the problem.

Okay, I see a crapola load of "invalid", and "Cannot load" files in the animation data tab. I'm just gonna take a crack at it: I PROBABLY CANNOT USE TORQUE, right?

@Taylor - Can you copy and paste those errors so I can see them? Something may have gone wrong with the installer.

Yes, you can use Torque. Any issues like this that have lingered will be resolved in the 1.7.6 update.
