[vtkusers] VTK good for games?

[Adalberto Castelo]

Have you ever heard of the Torque engine, by garage games (http://
www.garagegames.com)? Very complete game engine, and a seat only costs US$100 
(if your company is small enough - it becomes $10k, IIRC, if your company 
size or your games sales cross a certain threshold). That's very cheap, as 
game engines go. It's actually being used for commercial games. And it's 
multiplatform. There's a bunch of demos in their website that show the 
engine's capabilities.

Cheers,
Adalberto
