Items marked with a '
' are designated as our favorite and most recommended tool in a given category. These tools often have the best support available for the Torque engine, and can be considered superior to the other tools in the category. Of course, you will probably want to try everything to see what works best for your individual needs.
It's important that everyone helps contribute to this list, because we all benefit as a result. Right now we're looking for tutorials especially, video is even better. Post your links, and I'll add them in right away!
