Good Tutorials

by Casey Cook · in General Discussion · 11/01/2006 (11:14 am) · 4 replies

I recently bought Torque Game Engine ver 1.5 i finished the geting started tutorial and i have found no other good resource to forward my learning progress. most links are dead and long gone, other help files arent what i need. i need more good tutorials like the one that came with it. is there any other good walk-thru tutorials to help with more advanced features in torque? like importing and exporting with 3d max 8 or how to make rippling water reflection's? or how to add grass with moving animations? anything at all to help me learn torque better?

Buy "The Game Programmers Guide to Torque" by Edward F. Maurina and read the TDN regarding Max exporting. Thats a good start :)

That's what you would call a perfect start =) would love to have that book.. If you really want to get to know torque better and your programmings skills are good, that book should be perfect.. [druels]
