FarCry 2010 mod for Far Cry

Greetings to everyone!

Far Cry 2010 is a graphics mod for CryTek's masterpiece FarCry. This project started in April 2010 with the intention of improving graphics in all single-player campaign levels. Naturally we will remain with Far Cry's established CryEngine. Yet Far Cry 2010 does not only improve textures and applies some other minor changes like it has been seen in so many minor mods since 2004, but it aims to overhaul each and every level. This means that each level (map) will be genuinely rebuilt with amazing graphics.

Here's a short overview of the planned changes:

• New environments (vegetation, rocks)
• New Ocean
• New effects (Bump map, particles, dynamic shadows)
• New Additions to fauna (amphibians, insects, butterflies, animals, etc ...)
• New textures and optimization of existing ones
• Enhanced view distance (for areas without fog)
• New sky

There will be no significant changes in script and AI (almost close to perfection).
I will take great care in trying to conserve the authentic Far Cry feeling.

Some things worth knowing: 

• The figure "2010" in the mod's name does not indicate the release year, but rather the year the project started.

• The primary purpose of this mod was to use resources from "Crysis", particularly vegetation models. But unfortunately this is prohibited. Why, you may ask yourself, Far Cry has been developed by the same guys!? Well, unfortunately the Far Cry license no longer belongs to Crytek, as they left it to UbiSoft. The direct conversion of resources from Crysis therefore required permission from Electronic Arts (Crytek's new publisher). In the end, Electronic Arts denied "DJXA Production" the permission and so all models will be shared by the community that supports this project and they will be completely redone by "DJXA Production". I can already announce that work on certain models has already commenced, you will notice in the latest screen shots that the first couple of them are inspired by Crysis.
