[CE3] Irruption

Hi all!
I'm not sure this deserves it's own thread, but ...

Just finished a little sci-fi environment in CryEngine 3, here's some footage:

And some demonstration of tesselation/displacement map I used for foil hose pipe material:

Nice work mate, I am curious about the displacement map. Did you create it yourself in some specific way, can you show the texture by any chance ?

e-freak

this looks damn awesome! good job

walklikethis

This looks fantastic! Although just a small point would be that it is probably more efficient to actually model the detail for that plastic pipe than a displacement. However, for a small project the result is awesome and works well

honestly, i'm pretty blown away right now... this is stellar! (Ha! get it? cause... its space? yeah... i'll be leaving now.)

Thank you so much, guys!

It's pretty standard way - making hipoly in zbrush, then baking tiled 16-bit displacement map in Maya.

It's a good way too, but I think that tesselation approach is much more efficient for my environment, because it's non-sensitive to base mesh deformation/bending, and could be very useful in couple with zPipeMaker free plug-in for Maya, that I used for this scene.

... you just blew my mind and helped me in the same instance by linking zPipeMaker... that is absolutely wonderful and I will be downloading it when I get the chance.

Thanks for sharing mate, great work once again
