Insect race

I am working on a turn based game using Torque Game Builder (TGB). Torque uses what is called Torque Script which is very similar to C++. I am new to programming and graphics for that matter...for graphics I am using Lightwave 9 and Zbrush. It's slow but I am having great fun.

awesom,e. O I have messed around with torque a bit, it looks to me more related to 3d graphics and such. Screenies when you get that far along please!

What 3d format are you using? I've been playing around with Blender3D (which can import to LightWave .lwo files at least), and am going to get trained as some kind of a 3D modeler/animator. I can't draw, so I'm not good at it, but I can try to do things. I might be able to do some simple items or buildings, but I haven't tried painting textures yet.

Since my game is 2d but using Lightwave to create the models, I am actually exporting motion sequences out as individual frames in .png, and then compiling the indivudual frames back together in Photoshop.

Seems I can't help with that, then, but I wish you luck in your project, any way.

I'm very surprised to find this thread. I've been working on a mod for about a week now called The Hive. Essentially swarms of giant cockroaches with mandibles. There are some big units, but mostly it is swarms of small mean little things that just scuttle and bite.

I'm beta testing it right now. If anybody is interested I can post it.

I would love to learn more about your mod and how it tests.
