I've had a little.....very very little......experience in doing some 3d worlds/terrain, and wanted to get back into it a bit - just had a question if anyone knew about the Torque Game Engine. Wanted to pick up the Indie license for kicks, but wanted to know a bit more about the world creator. Does it do a random generation of a world/terrain, and you can build on that, or do you have to start completely from scratch?

not sure if this is the place to ask, or if I should start a new topic...whatever works for ya'll is fine.

woot, double post!!!

just a quick update, I started playing with the Torque Game Engine - it's damn fun. The World Editor is awesome, and quite easy to use.

as a time killer fun side project, I might just create an old west kinda town. Will probably take me a year, but I'm not worried. Experience is what I'm going for anyway.

We're using a heavily modified TGEA (Torque Game Engine Advanced) which has a similar art pipeline as TGE, but with the addition of shaders, dynamic lighting, and unlimited terrain.

Specifically, we're looking for people who have experience with realistic terrain modeling. Our engine has a huge canvas with the opportunity to create an enormous world with very little overhead.

At the current stage of development, we're focusing on a small world which will eventually become the "beta zone" and will likely not be in the final game.
