Constructor and Torque - Mapping in Style

Well the big news this month is the release of Constructor, the interior BSP-style editor based on and designed for the Torque family of game engines (and compatible with any engine that supports map files).

Constructor was released for free to help make the Torque art pipeline even more complete, and to make sure the latest Torque interior features, like static meshes, smooth shading, and TGE style in-editor wysiwyg lighting, are available to the entire Torque community.

I'm very excited to see Constructor out in the wild - the project represents a large effort by everyone on the Constructor team, and having the community using, extending, and creating awesome tutorials for it feels great.

Recently we wrapped up development on Constructor updates, which (lighting-wise) fix a few bugs and add better TGEA support. Updates were also added to TGE to round-out in-editor Constructor lighting support, like smooth interior shading and static mesh lighting (both dynamic and static).

All-in-all it was an awesome release,
