Editor seems to work, though some issues with screenshot functionality and detail texture sizes.

New things with Crysis 2, now supporting more detailed base texture map .. so I'm pushing whole zone (4096x4096) texture as base texture (before was 512x512 for "zone").
And this is just initial import, no other enhancements done yet .. I'm just playing/learning around with basic tools.

Also Crysis 2 is very limited with objects (trees mostly), so those are from Crysis 1 and looking bit outdated.

Anyway, here is few screenshots ...

"... Editor for Crysis 2 early in summer"

I have been waiting for this news for awhile :)

Also there will be free SDK for real development, but let's see if I have interest to start creating something to top of SDK.

Anyway, check http://www.crymod.com/ for full details.

Crysis 2 and Dark Age of Camelot terrain conversion

2011-03-25T15:51:00.004+02:00

Seems that CryTek don't give (at least now) sandbox editor to Crysis2, so this project is on hold.
Though there is already tools to extract data from Crysis 2 and there is leaked Crysis 2 available with editor, but I not going to use those for this kind development.
So, I still might create few videos with Crysis 1 and even enhance conversion code a bit, but let's see ...

Long time no see.
Interesting news as this is for new CryEngine. I was waiting to get SDK to new Crysis, but this is even better. Let's hope this happens.

Got few requests to get this image as wallpaper.
Sadly I didn't have the original one anymore, so I quickly created new one.
It's free to use and modify :) Link

Tool for daoc terrain conversion to crysis

2009-11-29T11:29:00.006+02:00

Basic things like creating height map works, same as extracting files from mpk.
And it's fast compared to current PHP script.
Currently I'm building basic GUI and creating better way to get positions for zone maps.
