I'm posting this here because it may be of interest to people new to DB or anyone that needs to learn the skills and programs in the book. This is not a DB book it is called 3D Game Programming All In One by Kenneth C. Finney. To use the book and make the game you need to use the Torque Game Engine that comes on the CD. I think it would be Good for DB users especially new users is because it goes into modeling with Milkshape, textures and skins Quark, terrains, making structures and wepons, sound plus alot of programming and network info and game design, there is also a section on Paint Shop Pro 8 and lots more

I really have not gotten into the book that deep yet the things I have posted here came from the table of contents of the book.

If anyone has any info on the Torque game engine good or bad I would be interested in hearing about it.

Even though its not a DB book I consider it a good investment because of all the other information and tutorials in it.

Contents of the CD
UVMapper 0.25
30 day trial of Milkshape
45 day trial of UltraEdit-32
30 day trial of Paint Shop Pro
Audacity 1.0 and plugins
QuArk 6.3
and some games and source code

The price was a little steep at $49.99 but I felt well worth it!
