TGEV - Vehicle Tutorials

Preface

The following tutorials are going to explain how to create vehicles within the torque engine. This will be a work in progress so please check back occasionally for updates. This tutorial is designed to give working examples on all current vehicle types in the torque engine. We also plan to add more vehicle types and really refine the physics for vehicles within the engine. This tutorial is not designed to teach you how to model. In later tutorials we will be going over advanced topics and expect you to understand 3d modeling.

I welcome help from anyone that would like to contribute. If you have anything you would like to add please email me, or contact me at our yahoo group.
