Cryengine 3 - Global Illumination

OMFG, ten years ago, playing Crash Bandicoot on PSX and now that quality. Really unbeliabable

is this 3ds max? game developers use 3dsm for modeling?

this is unbelievable... with either vray or mental-ray, each frame would take at least 5 mins to render! and its being calculated in real time! OMG!
can we know the machine specs pls?

you obviously dont know what your talking about...i also use 3dm and c4d as an architect...you realise static renders realistic images are easily attainable...for an interactive realitime render where one would be able to walk in and out spaces, this is breathtaking...imagine its commerical and business applications. Clients would be able to interact and view in their projected buildings at this quality..would mean great things for sure

take your knowledge and encode crysis 2 for the ps3. so it will look better then wanna be gaming machines

seems too dark, i would think with GI that alot more of the scene would be lit up

Yeah totally, it's pretty obvious the light bounces only once. Even just two bounces would have been a massive improvement, this isn't really good enough compared to the Geomerics stuff. Also the dynamic range isn't very impressive. Basically the whole thing is too dark.

@InSaneTK Even renderers like Mental Ray and VRay need development... But you have to remember that this is all rendered in real time as where to a normal 3D Scene you spend hours and days for animations lasting only a fraction of that time. So I'd say you're pretty ignorant as this is incredible simulation..

I know its a technical achievement, but at this stage i would never want to put it in a game, it doesn't look good, it looks burned out and over-saturated. Really looks like it needs gamma correction. The cry engine has a lot of advanced stuff that is really successful, but this one isn't yet in my view.

@cssima
I would have to completely agree with cssima
