this was and is actually one of the hardest colorcompositions because the grey-brown rock have to interact with the rusty metal and old used creten structures. but i need also contrast from buildings vs the rocks without looking like a comic. very difficulty, especially it looks very different at every angle because of sun reflection on metal which then also brighten up his colors.
it's very very hard to get a decent look but atleast in cryengine it is possible to have such nice shaders for materials and set them up wach with many parameters. for example such a metal beam have not only a rusty texture, it have also textures for normal map (gives fake 3D structures), for bumpmap (gives nice fake 3D realtime sun reflections and shadows), specular map (for reflection), detail textures (which i did'nt use).
so, even if you think you see one object with one texture, its in fact a object with a minimum of 3 textures, sometimes 5 or 6.
those in combination with the nice shaders gives that intresting look.
i think with some days more in colordesign it would be possible to reach photorealistic look and feel, in a 11 year old engine.
i love cryengine.
Best of all, animated textures!
I actually converted a 30-second YouTube clip, into an animated Far Cry texture. 500 frames, 128x resolution.
I love CryEngine, too =)
yeah, have done this also :D on which project did you working actually ?
This one: Gamebanana.com
I did it after the contest, so I can't go back and update the map.
Anyways, I have my own mod, and I will use these "film textures" a lot. For a 14-year-old kid, my stuff is impressive =)
nice work!
looking forward to your mod :)
Will you actually sped a few days more in colordesign to get it photorealistic?
How is it in comparison to the newer versions of CryEngine for getting a photorealistic look?
actually i redesigned this while section (all mountains, nearly all textures and materials, water, cloudparticles) to the one you see above, and i have many more unfinished places on this map, so i think i will let it like it actually is, because player will spend only some minutes in this canyon, maybe maximum 10-15 minutes.
to achieve real photorealistic i would have to make compromises with shaders and texturequalities which i can't on this big map.
every youtube demonstrations in cryengine of photorealistic look alike places are very very small sections, and i have a big world around and i'm already extrem CPU and memory limitated.
i think newer versions of cryengine have nicer postprocess algorythms, extrem nice unlimited shadows and higher rendering resolution (cryengine 1.4 is limited to 800x600 ^^). so no real chance to compete with that but once you are walking really inside you forget such things very fast.
Awesome job! I like the style of that structure (or more like what has left of it)!
thank you :) this structure jumped around in my head for some time, but never was able to visualize it, researched a lot of pictures and i never found what was in my head, so i started to create this complete scene out of little tiles like lego, until it was done :D
