Enchanted Forest Content Pack Released

It's been a long time since my last content pack release, the free uber update for the FPS Environment Pack.

This is the Enchanted Forest Environment Pack for Torque 3D and TGEA. It's my first content pack built for Torque 3D and TGEA, and I hope the community puts it to good use in their games and projects.

Demo Video Turn up your sound and enjoy the groovy music.



The pack includes 44+ art assets, Models, Terrain Textures, Particle and Sound Effects. Most objects have 3 levels of detail, Diffuse, Normal and Specular Maps.

The source art is included in Maya Binary, 3DS, FBX, OBJ, LWO, and DTS formats.

It also comes with playable sandbox demo environments for both Torque 3D and TGEA.

The Enchanted Forest actually began as a contract gig to design and create an environment for an online MMO being developed on the Torque Game Engine. I retained the rights to the art in return for a reduced hourly rate on the contract. A good deal for all concerned.



After the contract was wrapped up, the pixels and polys collected virtual dust while I moved on to other things. But eventually I came back around to it and started updating the art with normal maps and reworking a good portion of the content.

By the time it began to resemble current gen art content, Garage Games had their shiny new Torque3D engine going strong. This gave me an opportunity to learn the in’s and out’s of the next generation of torque tech. And I have to admit Torque 3D is pretty damn cool and come along ways since I first started using the Torque engine back around TGE version 1.2 or something like that.

There’s a dark side to the Enchanted Forest waiting to be packed up and ship along side it, but life is keeping me pretty busy right now, so that will have to wait a while.

I owe a giant debt of gratitude to Andy Maloney, without his help and contribution this pack would not have been possible.

I want to thank everyone at GG who are responsible for helping me get this done. Also, much credit goes to the crew at Mad Otter for the inspiration and opportunity that brought the Enchanted Forest to life.

And last but not least a big thanks to Jon Jorajuria for the sound fx.
