Shapes & Lines: RTS Environment Pack

You are building a Real Time Strategy game with the Torque Game Engine and you're finding the lack of quality environmental art available is a problem. Is there any help for you and your game? The answer is YES! Todd Pickens, one of the most talented artists in the Torque development community, has developed a new art content pack for you to utilize in your game. This environment content pack includes 172+ objects, 15 Particle Effects, and 4 Unique Environments, fully textured and fully prepared for the Torque Game Engine, offering quick dimension and realism to any game environment, RTS or other type!

So what is a content pack? A content pack is a collection of professional quality art assets that you can use in games being made with the Torque Game Engine. Not only do you get all the models, textures and environments prepared specifically for drag and drop into the Torque Game Engine, but you also get the source art so you can go into your favorite .map editor or 3D modeling program and customize objects in this content pack. With both the source code/art and the prepackaged and ready-made objects, content packs make great teaching and learning tools for game developers wanted to understanding more about art and the art pipeline.
These shapes, effects, and environments are available for a fraction of the cost they would take to create on your own. Contracting a professional to create this content would cost at least $5000, but these shapes can be had for mere pennies per shape.


Includes Torque Objects of all kinds, shapes and sizes.

The RTS Environment Pack includes 172+ objects, 15+ Particle Effects, and 4 Unique Environments. All source art is included and the environmental effects are fully documented to make your life easier to try to bringing these effects into your game.

"This pack gave me jumpstart I needed on my project. The four maps are distinctly different and great examples to work with. I really liked that this came in two modes RTS and FPS which allowed me to easily work into my FPS project.
The foliage and the terain textures are awesome and I really liked the foliage moving with winds feeling.
The lava map had great smoke and lava particle effects.
This is an outstanding deal for the money. I am back on schedule and more excited about my project than ever!
Thanks!"
