New to Torque and the exporter

Hi, i have searched for this through the site, im kind of new to the torque engine, and ive been using max 6 for about a year now, I am having alot of difficulty understanding the concept of the exporter. I have tried going through the documentation on the site, with little to no luck. Is there any other resources. that may help me get an understanding of how it works, in more detail. I have purchased the programing all in one book, (by the way its huge) and it has given me a greater understanding of the engine in general, but all of his examples are in milkshape, I do not use milkshape, and i find it unnecessary to learn a new program. Anywhere that has video training for torque? im an avid 3dbuzz.com user, and the training there in verious programs is outstanding. Would it be possible for you guys to team up with buzz and crew and produce some video tutorials, i think it would be a cool investment for the future of the community. Anyhow im at work now back to reading the book, and trying to figure this out.
