Torque 3D + XSI 6.01 Mod Tool

by Hokuto · in General Discussion · 03/25/2009 (5:38 am) · 2 replies

Hi,
Got the news about Torque 3D preorder and I watched some T3D related videos and news... Coming back to the site after so long was searching for some info about my following question but I didn't find a direct answer. So if you please

1) Torque 3D runs on Intel Mac native? Or is it windows only for now

2) XSI Mod Tool, is there a special version (free) that exports (collada) to Torque 3D and can be used for commercial use? I can see some info about a version for torque for xna but I'm confused if there is one for T3D outside the XNA world)

3) XSI Mod Tool runs on Intel MACs? Can't see system compatibility info on XSI site/pages

4) Until when (if known) the pre order discounted price for TGEA owners will be up?

Thank you for any reply/help

Matt noted that we will be releasing the Windows version and hopefully the Mac drop at launch. But if the Mac version is taking longer to develop, we will release the Windows version first. We do not want to hold back the Windows release.

ModTool can only be used for XNA commercially right now. I do not know if there will be a Torque 3D license that will be available for ModTool.

I do not know. I would recommend contacting SoftImage about it. From the download page, it seems an EXE is the only version available. Of course, unless you are targeting XNA though the CC premiere club membership, you cannot use ModTool for a commercial release as per their licensing page.

I believe we are shooting for a May release. Once it is released, the pre-order special will be over.
