Say hello to the TGE Elf. Also, a shot of the new main gui in the works, marketing guys have yet to finalize all the names of stuff.

My friend said this, I think he has a somewhat intresting point of view.
"Doing a style like that works pretty well in an engine like Torque. If they made it realistic, then people would have a lot of other things to compare it to. The fantasy/cartoony style works well in 3d stuff because there's no real-world equivalent, and it's heavily based in style, not just sheer realism."
| Tom Eastman (Eastbeast314) (Sep 21, 2006 at 03:21 GMT) |
I think that's probably true - however, the developers who have the people to make hyper-realistic stuff that crosses the uncanny valley aren't the ones buying Torque (in most cases). Look at WoW or Twilight Princess shots. Good art direction is far more important than high poly counts or realistic skin lighting, in my opinion.

As if the mosiac really conceals the features. ;)

This is great stuff. I'm glad there is a new model to play with. I wonder if other items from realm wars will find their way in.

@Anthony: Righto, I think Kork is based on the Tribes II base.mediummale.dts physique, much like the very early 1.1 TGE;the build with Waterworld mission and the segemented armor figure. I'm pretty cetain that the blueguy figure corresponds very, very closely to the base.mediummale figure. The texture for that blue guy mapped very, very well onto that shape, ;), Rex don't miss a thing! Like how two features are blurred out in the shapshot, ;)....lol.

I can see there will be a Project X for continuous terrain generation... Any comment on that, or it's still a secret? ;)

It's honestly hard to get truly excited about stuff that you work with day in and day out...you know it's cool and all, but the very incremental changes don't seem to add up to very much at the end of the day/week/month.
Playing with the demo was just awe inspiring :)

Have a master server of Torque 1.5 running with the demo level permanently. There are currently none...
Get all the stuff from the RealmWars and use it.
You already picked-up the elf, so the rest wouldn't be too difficult to adapt. I mean the magic wand, the sword and the axe too, with proper character animations.

That's a really good suggestion. I never gave it much thought, but now that you mention it, I don't think I ever played a multiplayer game in the old demo. Kind of a waste.
Not that I'm a marketing guy :).
| David Stewart (Sep 26, 2006 at 04:30 GMT) |
Looking at the second pic, is there a suggestion that Atlas1 terrain could be headed for TGE?
It'd be nifty.
| Alexander "taualex" Gaevoy (Sep 26, 2006 at 14:47 GMT) |
IT's possible, but not the TSE Atlas implementation - they use shaders there (as far as I know). Anyway, a big terrain can be implemented everywhere, if using a paging manager. Also, TGE doesnt handle high-poly meshes very well on contemporary cards (compare TGE with a grandma infront of a computer :))...

It does make sence; from a GarageGame product description:

TGE is a complete proven package for a wide range of applications, with flexible and controllable in-engine animation, world, terrain, and GUI solutions, as well as award-winning TorqueNet networking.
No multiplayer permanent demo how can one check it is true. I gave the GG people my trust while hitting the "proceed" button for the payment. I never played a multiplayer game with Torque though. 8-P
