Blog RSS Feed Report abuse Latest News: Tales of wenda switching to cry engine 2

32 comments by choco on Aug 25th, 2009 digg this super bookmark


After realizing that it would be difficult to make the world of wenda in the unreal engine 3, I decided to use the cry engine 2 that seems to handle huge open outdoors without a problem.
It took me a day to learn the basics of the sandbox 2 (crysis's level editor), I started to important all the assets that where done into the cry engine.
In the other hand, modeling architecture will be easier in this type of engine, since we wont have to worry about the UVs for the light maps to avoid obvious seams and artifacts (overlapping UVs).
The amount of control regarding the weather effects is just stunning, artists can easily setup a specific mood by moving some sliders in the TOD (time of day) editor.
Here are some first tests :

salut choco... ca va te faire du bien de pouvoir ENFIN parler à un francais!!
;-)
je cherche depuis un petit bout de temps à participer à la création d'un mod.. j'ai commencé comme toi sur unrealed (grosse déception)
et puis je me suis remis à mes premiers amour : SandBox2.
je suis spécialisé dans l'ambiance, eclairage.. je crée moi meme mes CGF et modules (avec normalmapp, specular... et Cie)
je me test un peu sur les persos. mais j'ai pas encore appris l'animation.

j'ai vu la qualité de tes shot et je suis un fan d'oblivion et de l'Heroic Fantasy (me parle pas de warcraft ca me gave vite! lol)
j'aimerai donc particer à un jeu mature, beau et prennant comme un film.

si ca te dit on fait équipe. j'ai du temps... et de la motivation à revendre...

I can't decide too what engine to use... CE2 Looks great and they have awesome community. The only thing seems suspicious to me, is that i have never seen a total conversion mode made for CE2. The core gameplay and genre is always the same as in original Crysis. And another thing, are you aware that there's no level streaming in Cryengine? That means you can't have your world consisting out of many maps like in Oblivion.

Actually there are some total conversion mods out there, check out crymod.com there is a bunch of mods already finished.
In the other hand the cry engine 2 handles very well streaming.
One of the upcoming MMO titles from NCsoft(linage, Aion...) is going to be using the cry engine 2 for example.
There aren't many people who make total conversion mod because importing custom assets into the cry engine 2 isn't as easy as in the unreal engine.
I also think the engine wasn't very popular for modding because of the specs you need to run it when it came out.
Today it is time to look back at such wonderful engine that has a great potential.
