Torque Forest Tech Added to T3D

The secret is out… Garage Games announced this week that Sickhead Games’ long-awaited Forest Kit tech will be included in Torque 3D 1.1 at no extra cost. The newly-named Forest Editor allows the easy painting of vegetation, rocks, and debris. Plants can use the Forest Editor’s local and global wind effects for added realism. The alpha release of T3D 1.1 is out now.

Artists, Sickhead Games is Hiring!

Currently seeking a jack-of-all-trades game artist with strong rigging and character animation skills. Indies wear a lot of hats, and ideally we need a talented individual with good concepting, modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation skills, who’s familiar with standard current-gen game art pipelines (mesh-to-normal map, building modular animation, etc). Must be comfortable working in 3DS Max, Zbrush, and Photoshop.

For more information, please see the listing and apply on LinkedIn.
