Thanks for the reply and the welcome. And I understand re: info coming. I had to ask - as I'm sure you know, anything less than instant gratification is far too slow. :)
At this juncture, my question/concern would be re: starting to build environments. I guess if I started now, then once the light pack was out, I would have to go back and do light placement on environments already designed, yes?
Anyway - I'm going to go play around with things in the meantime. :)

Later, if you choose, you can go back and replace key lights in your environment to polish off the look and feel of your missions.

The Lighting Pack also upgrades all of the existing Torque light objects (interior lights, the sun, and dynamic lights), so you can start developing your content now without worrying about compatibility.Later, if you choose, you can go back and replace key lights in your environment to polish off the look and feel of your missions.

There wasn't a beta signup at all. I approached the TZ team in December of last year about beta testing the code.
More information about the release will be posted as soon as it's available.

Anyone know if the lighting pack works cross-platform. I couldn't find any info on what platforms they support on the site.Thanks,

Excellent question; the Lighting Pack supports the same OS and hardware configurations as Torque.
Also there's no additional rendering overhead, so older 3d cards that can run Torque will continue to work with the Lighting Pack.

From the site: "More information will be available soon" ;)
A date hasn't been set yet for releasing the pack, but as soon as it is we'll announce it to the community.
To answer the question in your email from this morning, the Lighting Pack light objects are completely compatible with the stock Torque mission editor.
Btw: I see you decided to pick up the Torque sdk welcome aboard! :)
