[Crysis] | [WIP] - Hongzhou Harbor *New Pics and Video.*

":21psx7ql]Just place a light in the floor with a 180º angle shooting upwards, click on the light color eye drop and click on the floor to get the correct color, adjust the intensity and be amazed at the difference!

That would be really cool, and I could do that just to see what it would look like, but I can't place light entities all around the level like that without risking performance issues. CE2 is still limited to only a few lights per scene. If I place too many light entities, things like roads and decals would start flickering.

Is there any way to make it look better using the ToD tool?

":12ga72yv]Ah, that's right... I forgot that CE2 doesn't have deffered lighting! Yeah of course, make the color of the shadows a bit brighter so it doesn't look that much contrasty.

Yeah, I was thinking it was strange. But you are doing it in Crysis 2? I thought CE3 had GI built in?

Here's a screenshot of the harbor, right where a jet crashed! I hope you like it! I can spot a few things that need fixing, but I won't say it because then you'll only focus on that.

Anyway. Again, enjoy and hope you like it.

No crits?

Ah, well. I got another screen for those who's interested. Hope you like it.

Hey, folks. I almost forgot about this place! Anyway, I have a ton of new content so I decided to showcase some of it. Enjoy! Please feel free to comment and tell me what you think!

Quote from JeanPaul

Personally, I think its way too flat. Crysis is this amazing engine for view distances, why hasnt there been a magnificently large cliff map or super vertical battle map? It looks good otherwise, maybe turn down the yellow in the distance fog

Thanks for the comment. However, what do you mean when saying flat? I mean, you shouldn't judge the map over a few screens. You do get to play at higher altitudes.

Have you ever worked with the engine? If you have, then you'd know you can't really go crazy with view distance and still keep it highly detailed. Computers would burn. Terrain works as great occluders, which means I can spend more time on detail without risking performance drops. Having great view distances would require you to really set everything at really shitty view dist ratios (to keep performance stable) and that would just ruin the experience.

I'm not sure why there haven't been maps like that. I guess AI navigation would be rather tricky, depending on how you're designing the map.

Hey, guys. For those who are interested, I got a couple of new screens, though old for those who browse Crymod.

Also got a new video showing some speedmapping, the creation of a scene (not finished in the vid).

Any crits what so ever?

Thanks, Corwin, I really appreciate the crits! I will make sure to make the changes you suggested.

By the way, I tried out Call of the Fireflies, and really loved it. Truly atmospheric stuff, man. Great work on that.

Maximum bump! I made this video a few days ago, hope you like it.

Make sure to watch in HD.
