      Wow. That game has some beautiful imagery. Is that under Vista with DX10 or another OS? I played the demo and I don't remember it being that pretty.

        I have Vista but it runs under Xp as well.
        At crymod.com theres lots of tweaks (and props like european trees).
        Some realism tweaks are really making the best of the engine but you'll better have a new graphics card.

          Here's another link: http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=19058

          And PlayUp has a SU exporter: http://playuptools.blogspot.com/

          Its always good to use textures that is 256x256, 512x512 and so on.

          Here's part two of the demo in my first post.

            No problem, 9800GTX+ x 2. I've already looked at getting a copy of Crysis out of the bargain bin in the game store, unfortunately it was out of stock.

            This will work with regular Crysis, right?

              Yes but the Warhead editor is newer and sometime this autumn cryengine3 is released...
              Anyway here are some more eyecandy.
              Remember these are not renderings. It's realtime screenshots.

                I need to find some time and get into this, I have XSI and Crysis, so I have no excuses. These images are fantastic, makes Vue look like a toy.

                  Woah...Pixero, have you tried to import any arch scenes and gave them spin. This looks better than any mainstream render.

                    Absolutely stunning. Thanks for the information.

                    Is there any way to get around using XSI? I don't have that.

                      Absolutely gorgeous imagery.
                      Unfortunately, getting your head around Sketchup > XSI > Cryengine is a major workflow killer.
                      I tried for a while but gave up. I hope the PlayUp plugin will evolve into a usable tool.
                      SU straight to Cryengine with textures and everything in place would be awesome.

                      Another culprit is that you can't use the images produced with the Cryengine professionally. Licensing the CryEngine would cost an architecture firm some tens of thousands dollars.....

                      For the moment, LightUp would be a better affordable solution as a real time renderer. A little bit less of eye candy though, and you need to be careful with the poly count.

                      The 3Dsmax + Vray RT (real time) is another great combo but expensive...

                      In general, rendering real time definitely will be the future.

                        Definitely that's what seems to be the biggest challenge. Still images and even videos are becoming "just" like "intros" for such visualization.

                          tens of thousands dollars..... ? Well, that more or less finishes my interest 😮

                            Hey Chris ....more like several hundred thousands. I saw them in Frankfurt 2 years ago about licensing. The price tag was just under 1 mill Euroes. 😮

                              Wow...those are incredible figures.
                              Must be that by that time they didn't think about targeting an architecture audience yet.
