Cryengine 3 free finally available
-
I can't try until work tomorrow as that's where my good rig is. What spec/result you been using/getting? I have a single 580.
The interface has similarities with the crysis sandbox editor that I've used for 1. It's not hard once you know as they say
The main thing was going through the database of assets etc. that were organised in confusing ways if you were just looking to place objects to make a map.
I assume this is alot harder though as its a game engine.I'll post here tomorrow after work if I get time to work some stuff out. If it works well this could be a fantastic visualization tool for many sketchuppers!

Hi, pichuneke:
Thanks for that link. Very informative. And puts Sketchup in a new perspective. Helps to reinforce what I only vaguely understood. -

I would say this should be a must read for newbies. This is an excellent job of explaining SketchUp's native tools, and a great introduction to some of the major plugins.
Great find. -
The engine doesn't work for me. It usually stops loading when it reaches crydev login.
Do I need some sort of an account somewhere?
I'm using windows 7 and tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions and have the same problem. -

And you have to start the engine with an internet connection.

Registered and still doesn't work. the window for the login does not appear it freezes.

I don't know how to help you... I use Windows 7 64 bits and no problems. In fact, in the login window there is a link to register. That's how I did it. Perhaps you could ask for help in the forums of http://www.crydev.net

Here some screenshots (made with snipping tool)

Very good if I could work out a decent workflow from sketchup...

Hey
If you have the Cryengine 3 SDK, then that's it.
You don't install anything if i remember correctly, you just extract it to a folder called "CryENGINE_v3_3_5_2456_FreeSDK" (well it was for me anyway)
Within that there are folders called Bin32 and Bin64. Choose the one relevant to your system and launch the "Editor" (orange logo) -
Hi,
I have no idea about these 3D engines, so I wanted to see a SketchUp model in this environment to get an idea.
I have downloaded the "Cryengine3 Free SDK" and "PlayUP Exporter" but I can not find the installation file (See Picture below) for the CryEngine. I can only open the "Sandbox editor". The export of SKP models with PlayUP seems to work only with an installed "CryEngine".I would be very happy if someone could give an explanation.

Hi Michael,
thanks for Your answer. Does that means that only with the full version of CryEngine, models can be exported via PlayUp into the "Cryengine"?

No the free version is fully functional for non commercial works. There is a tutorial on playup website

So, does one do a walk through with a shotgun/machine gun?

I think that it can be changed... with work, and learning...
At this moment I am fighting with PlayUp tools, I even can't make it work

Hi,
At the moment I am struggling even with the tool PlayUP. I've read through the tutorial again. But only two files are created, mtl and dae. I suspect that that is somehow connected with the path settings in the preferences or a bug because the context menu commands are grayed out.

The whole tutorial confused me a bit!
