TX/TXB 3D tutorials

by kev219 · in Torque X 2D · 09/16/2008 (7:48 am) · 3 replies

Are there any good tutorials for Torque X 3D? I am a .Net programmer and found the 2D side of things with Torque quite easy to learn, but it seems like there is no documentation for the 3D side.

The 3D version of TXB seems very limited and buggy, am I missing something?

The 3D builder is in beta, which is why you're seeing the issues. You can find the help file for the API in the TX install folder, but there are not really any tutorials available yet. You can, however, check out the demos in the demos folder of your TX install.

The FPS demo is kind of a lot to dig through, but it looks like everything I would need is in there somewhere. It would be really helpful if there was a simplified version.

I am working through the Basic 3D tutorial on the wiki, but there are a lot of things missing. I will try to post my findings along the way. This engine seems incredibly powerful, its just a shame that its so hard to get started with.

@kev219 - Currently, the only official online docs regarding txscene can be found in the Official Docs

edit: Someone else wrote the doc I was trying to link to, and included a space in the filename. You'll need to open the official docs and search for txscene. Should take you to the xml deserialization doc. The link can also be found in the left side bar: Guides->XML Deserialization.
