The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone: A real-time 3D environment in the Leadwerks game engine

[lelikbastard]

This video real STALKER

[Stevexupen]

by purchasing the engine, do i get the whole source code as well?

[AudioGhostX]

You should turn this into a full game, whether it's stalker or something else, that would be nice!

[stefaan10111992]

Dave Lee, you just got yourself the 1st spot in my 'most honoured list'

[DaisyohneDonald]

@DaveLee3D is this song you used in this video somewhere to download?

[tsayad1986]

They should make an engine that looks nice and is not taxing on pc hardware at all. That would rock! That way we dont have to buy new pc's all the time :)

[B1SCOOP]

great job, it's hard to imagine how much work were put to finish it

[barret1able]

Creepy

[THEleatherfase]

good ;D

[0schaap0nl0]

@Davelee3D thx

[0schaap0nl0]

is this a mod for stalker or just a whole new game?

[DaveLee3D]

@0schaap0nl0 This is a completely new "mini" game created in the Leadwerks game engine as a tech demo. You can read more about it at the link provided in the description on my website.

[Blomsternisse]

This looks amazing. I especially like the pine forrests that is the surroundings. I have always felt that there is something very scary and mysterious about pine forrests and you somehow capture that.

[CamCon586]

great ending

[TheCoCkTa1l]

This would make the best horror game.

[lordsidyous]

I want a game with Cernobyl but not as boring as Stalker is.

[pigeggs1]

@lordsidyous

Take that back!!!!!!!

[quimsolls1]

get out of here stalker

[JordonHynes]

Will their ever be a working release of this map?

[Joelit121]

Good stuff man, came from your website to say this!

[DaveLee3D]

@Joelit121 Hey, thanks for stopping by!

[egdqv13234]

@Joelit121 what is this game can u be more specific?

[MrHaamukissa]

I like how the player character is left-handed. I'm a leftie myself. Although for the sake of realism not all weapons are ambidextrous, so they would need some modification.

[happyguy49]

Beautiful, haunting music in this video, my compliments!

[god0fgod]

Whoever owns rights to this should make a game from it.

turn off 'frame blend' in your video editor so it's not so blurry when the camera turns

[DaveLee3D]

@kn00tcn Thanks for the reminder! I had turned it off in my render settings but forgot to turn it off on the source videos in my editor. I wish I could re-upload the video now.

[SecretMisery]

Dude you are amazing, this is just amazing.. +1

[Pull0utBoy]

7 people are stupid shit heads.

The rest appreciate art and hard work.

[NDanteDouglas]

The textures are a bit fuzzy, but the model work is superb and the amount of detail is stunning. Bravo.

[sdub999]

Impressive design work, but the engine feels underwhelming. Very good attention to detaal on the overall geometry!

[laubeatz]

Excellent work man, this is amazing!! awesome concept.. i love the amount of detail you put into your work. Keep it up!! by the way, are all the structures and geography accurate or did you use your creativity? :)

[DreamPharaoh]

I am so impressed, here it takes me forever to make a damn boulder in Blender and you have intricate dilapidation of the walls, ceiling and flooring. I love how the vegetation moves, and the lighting and overall feel is top notch. I was feeling maybe aliens landed here to start off not worried about humans noticing, or horrible experimentations. Thank you for sharing it.

[Freestylinbran]

Very cool! Keep it up!

[doooomster]

[kahdeksan]

i said come in don't stand there

[GRyoyoguy]

quite a bit of pop in/out, but otherwise its totally awesome

[SturmKorps]

The map is incredible, I think the creators of STALKER can lear a thing or two, especially concerning open worlds.

[cnoga35]

This looks like it could a trailer for the next STALKER game, great work man.

[808steven]

Much props! Absolutely amazing. I'm pretty much floored that you did this in such a short amount of time with only you and Michael. 2 Thumbs up!

[MrRiggyRiggs]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R was bugged filled but still a BLAST to play it.

[RedemptionsScar]

what of waste of time

[SturmKorps]

@RedemptionsScar

die

[eltanan]

fantastic job, and now I have a strong urge to play Call of Pripyat again. Do you have actual gameplay in that world? You had a gun and avatar at the end, does it shoot? I'd love to see what you do with a Controller.

Suggestion if you make another video: Show an Emission/Blowout, like in CoP,

[CommieCat]

Good music, very nicely fits the tone

[IcarusEight]

I'm a big stalker/fallout fan myself. Great job man. I like it for sure.

[JoniZ3000]

make a new stalker now!

[AntiACTAVideos]

I love you.

[DaveLee3D]

@shoegazer666 Call of Pripyat has some amazing graphics for sure. Unfortunately, I'm only one guy and I had a very tight schedule to get this finished. Thanks for looking though!

[YayInternet3]

@DaveLee3D This is definitely something you should be proud of. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. For one man to do all this? It's mind-boggling. Great job!

[YayInternet3]

@DaveLee3D This is definitely something you should be proud of. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. For one man to do all this? It's mind-boggling. Great job!

[DaveLee3D]

@YayInternet3 Thanks man! Technically it was two men though. The very talented Michael Betke from over at Pure3D created all of the spiffy vegetation that you see all over the place.

[whompwhomp98]

@shoegazer666 How many kinds of stupid are you? One man against an entire development team.

[SilencerLX]

@shoegazer666 Are you fucking kidding? This looks fucking great.

[RSS6612]

@Davelee3d

this is awesome stuff man!

[plutoend99]

what is "Leadwerks" game engine and why should I care if its only a tech demo?

[gharretje]

@plutoend99 Because there are people that might want to make a game out of this engine.

Of no one does, it will not get beyond the stage of tech demo, bet hey, that's why this demo(!) is placed on YouTube.

[iGame3D]

Very nice, needs some gameplay action!

[napkins1337]

Very nice! The LOD popping is a little jarring, maybe some fading or increasing the distance would help.

[DaveLee3D]

@napkins1337 I spent a long time fighting the LOD popping, and you're right, it still needs some work. It's probably what bugs me the most.

[She11y]

Looks absolutely stunning! This could be the enviornment for the next stalker game

[asdderbi123]

Very nice. Where did you get all those nice textures? So beautifull nature.

[DaveLee3D]

@asdderbi123 Thank you! The textures are mostly (heavily Photoshopped) photo-sourced with a mixture of my own images from photo shoots of run down areas and textures from CGtextures.

[colegioesperanca]

Plase take my money and make the next Stalker.

[Dunge2]

@colegioesperanca

I can take your money

[AETrainingDavid97]

I wish I had the money and time to do something like this.

[decep3107]

Absolutely gorgeous. Excellent work!!

[1wahya]

great piece of work and great program ....wahya

[dotsquid]

'the Ukraine'? Is it a plural name?

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

@dotsquid It's a country that split off from the former Soviet Union back in '93 I believe it was.

[dotsquid]

@RadcliffOfCrymod

O RLY? See my profile.

It's not 'the Ukraine', it's 'Ukraine'. The definite article 'the' is used for two groups of counties:

1) with plural names - the United States;

2) with adjectival or compound forms which require the article - the United Kingdom.

[DaveLee3D]

@dotsquid Nope, just my bad habit of putting articles in front of country names that don't need them. I figure that one grammar error out of the whole video isn't too bad! Greetings from THE United States. :)

[adster700]

@dotsquid

Meh, everyone says 'The Ukraine'. Just saying 'Ukraine' sounds a bit weird.

[Aggror89]

Oh my g. This project is still the best looking project of all that has made been made with Leadwerks. The textures and models are perfect. All the colors seem to fit in perfectly with each other. Also the editing of this video is very good. nice 'movie grain' and some excellent background music.

Only thing that could be improved is the LOD swapping. This swapping should go way smoother with blending in and out. Vegetation appears 'too sudden' sometimes. But besides that: awesome job.
