And if the torque engine is used, it is VERY modder-friendly.

Yeah, it's nearly 100% confirmed that we're gonna be using Torque AFAIK.

wait, this is confusing me. I'm seeing two different conversations going on here.

Isn't torque a game engine, not a modeling software?

I would think that the 3d model's themselves you could make in any program. Torque may have certain file formats it prefers reading, but converting one format to the other isn't that hard. Blender is a very powerful free modeling program with several export options. You aren't required to use the blender game engine just because you make your models in the blender modeling suite.

Similar situation: Allegiance models can and have come from several different modeling packages. The MS dev's used Freeimage XSI, folks in the community have used milkshape, wings, blender, 3ds Max, and others to make their model and then used other software to convert it to the .mdl used by allegiance.

Yes torque is the game engine sorry.

I remember models being made as .blend ??

Originally I was going to go with Blender's game engine. However, I discovered (after I spent all that time learning Python, of course) that I absolutely hate Blender's gui with a passion. I'm going with C++ now, and almost definitely using Torque as the game engine. For modelling programs, it's up to the modelers, I frankly couldn't care less (I don't have an artistic bone in my body), just as long as it's in the right file format, which I think the-dare mentioned above somewhere.

true!
