#1 Torque is open source, you can do whatever you want with it for free.

#2 To expand, the license is here. In case you are too stubborn to click that, here is the whole license that is reproduced at the top of EVERY SINGLE SOURCE CODE FILE IN THE ENTIRE ENGINE:

In essense, it says that you can use the engine free of charge and use it without restriction, including copying, modifying, merging, publishing, distributing, sublicensing and/or SELLING copies of the software as long as the copyright is included....

I am thinking that perhaps we should have people confirm that they have read this license before allowing them to check it out from GitHub. The flood of forum posts related to this one silly thing is growing constantly....

Quote:Can you make a Torque-based engine

The answer to this is simply - Torque is a game engine. Do you mean "can you make a game with Torque 3D and sell it?" If you do, then according to the license above the answer is yes. Also according to the above license you don't have to pay anyone to use the Torque 3D engine for your own games.

Any more questions?

#5 @Dwarf King, Lol.

If your asking if you can make a specific engine in T3D then the answer is also yes..

You can model all sorts of engines with the convex shape tool, although you would be better off modeling them in 3DS Max or Blender and Importing them into T3D to use in your Game ;-)
