T3D tutorials en masse

by Lukas Joergensen · in Torque 3D Professional · 05/13/2013 (11:50 pm) · 49 replies

This is a list of available T3D tutorials!

The almighty documentation

Installing / setting up
Downloading T3D from GitHub and compiling projects etc.
Coding:
All tutorials that primarily covers working in C++
Scripting:
All tutorials that primarily covers working in TorqueScript
Object design
World design
All tutorials covering designing art for T3D, importing it and placing it in the world
Terrain tutorials
Tutorials on how to create terrains for T3D, and how to export/import terrains
Create-a-game tutorials
Full-blown game tutorials
Shader tutorials
Why?
I've always thought that there is not enough focus on the plenty of tutorials you'll find here and there. It should really be highlighted more: "Oi! Torque3D has tutorials" it sets a high barrier that these tutorials are so hard to find aswell.
So here is a central place to find these tutorials.

Wanna help?
Submit a tutorial in the comments or if you've went through one of the tutorials then leave a rating and a "user-level" estimation in the comments, that would be a great help!

Added! Threw it in a new category "Create-a-game tutorials" since those huge tutorials usually cover every aspect of the engine.

I know you can't link directly anymore, but don't forget to mention the Documentation - there are many things in the User Guide section that are still relevant and useful.

Not sure if it really qualifies for a tutorial tho, it's more of a resource.. Doesn't seem to have any "write this which does this and then this happens" guides in it.

It would be a shame not to have it, added a resource tag and tagged it with it.

Oh! Speaking of wheeled vehicles, I'd like to submit this article I wrote back in TGE days, which I imagine is still mostly applicable: www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/15736
