R&D for the Raining Fire movie project rendered with cryengine :

Render with alpha channel for further compositing
Camera sync in-out with 3ds max or maya
Export passes (render elements) and z-depth
Area shadows (like raytraced shadows not soft shadows)
Blurry reflections
Dual stereo camera option
Depth of field with multiple solutions  including an accurate one that works even with glass
Raytrace quality motion blur (higher than any real-time engine at the time of this writing)
Adjustable vignette
Human characters solution
SSAO - higher quality (comparison and tests soon)



Voxel modeling and painting
Dynamic effects for plants and other objects
Anti-aliasing


Since all my cryengine research, tools and shaders are scattered around I decided to gather some of them here in this blog.
Threads about my movie on crymod and cgsociety.

  2. I think there are some tools included with Cryengine 3, but I don't know how they work since I didn't test them.

  5. I don't know yet. But you will probably find at least some of the features mentioned here in a future version of cryengine 3.
    For the moment I'm still on cryengine 2.

  11. Dear Sir, I saw your amazing videos on youtube!!
    AMAZING! It's great!!! I'm new in CG world, but I'm testing it a bit.... In particular I'm working on a ambitious project: Avatar fanfilm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSTOjzorFI0 This is a 3ds max model and I would like to test it in an environment... I use Vue for the environemtn but render time is huge!!! about a pair of hour for a single frame...a friend suggest me to use cryengine because it work in real time...but of course cryengine has a very videogame look...and it is not so detailed like Vue or software as maya and 3ds max... The idea is to use cryengine to realize movie and short movie: import 3ds max character in cryengine and then "render" in cryengine I would like to ask you if you would be interested in test my models in your environment. If so, would you please send me an email to gabriele.lodipasini@gmail.com?
    Thank you very very much.

  12. I'm kinda low on time these days, that's why the late replies. Sorry.

    Impressive Avatar model, but it's quite difficult to import a character in cryengine, and for a movie I think it would be better to render it in Maya for example, and render only the environment in Cryengine.
