Torque is a fucked up version of the Irrlicht engine. Better use OGRE, it's free and it's actually better.

I'm currently using the Source engine for my Associates Degree capstone project, but I don't suppose you want a FPS engine.

What Blizz suggested is likely the most accessible and useful option, Torque is kinda gimped and buggy, at least 2d was, I'd not put much stock in 3d myself.

I've worked with OGRE and I'm very satisfied. It has all the basic stuff you need and even loads of the advanced stuff. i.e. using HDR lighting in OGRE is not really a big problem. I can only recommend it. And the API documentation is very good unlike most Open Source projects I've seen around, especially their online documentation which is even more extensive than the chm file you get with OGRE itself.
