Nexuiz [CryEngine3] Environments (image heavy)

cholden · Apr 2011

Hey folks,

Konstruct and myself thought it'd be fun to post some screen shots of our levels from Nexuiz. This is an XBOX360, PS3 and PC using CryEngine 3 scheduled for release this Summer. Come check it out at E3.

We're all over the internet;

I made all the art for the Atavirta set, ancient jungle ruins. This set is represented in 3 maps designed by Harry Luck.

Sanctuary

Cant't wait for this. Looks so awesome.

leilei · Apr 2011

Any Silver City or Slime Pit?

Those are the characteristic Nexuiz maps right there, it'd be a shame if the new reboot doesn't have them in some form

I do support this project BTW, nevermind the misguided preachy hatedom

Also that second map might look a bit too busy for its own good. Those neon lights could get distracting and clashing I can't tell if I can jump over there or not (in the first pic).

Mio · Apr 2011

looks very nice! love the color /layout and atmosphere

aajohnny · Apr 2011

Looks really nice and fun... not to mention its something new!

Piesandbombs · Apr 2011

I hope the second map is an intentional (and credited) reference to a certain halo map I know... :icon15:

Either way, great work. The art and the game both look amazing. Congratulations guys.

None of those, the only Nexuiz Classic map in the new Nexuiz is Strength :P

Dylan Brady · Apr 2011

I love the contrast of warm and cool colors in that second map.

XenoKratios · Apr 2011

I played the original one religiously, this looks so fresh! It's too good!

Kurry · Apr 2011

TDm_station looks stunning ! love the colors

tinokun · Apr 2011

This is Nexuiz???? Holy Crap, it looks gorgeous.

daphz · Apr 2011

I can't wait to get my pew pew on in those levels! really nice work

konstruct · Apr 2011

Thanks fellers

@ PiesandBombs- What Halo map are you talking about. Both my kid sister, and some ones friend visiting the studio said it looked like a Halo map. I`ve played a ton of Halo 1,2,3, and looked over all of the Reach multilayer maps and still have no clue what map your talking about. Is it one of the downloadables?I must know!!!

igi · Apr 2011

Those tech stuff are purely insane!Really nice art management and execution.Slick shapes,textures,background elements,those classical art touches and especially lighting,everything are complemental.Yoy can't wait for this!

Piesandbombs · Apr 2011

The map is in Halo 1, 2 and 3. In Halo 1 it's called Wizard, in Halo 2 it's called Warlock, in Halo 3 it was released as a remake (in which that map looks identical to) called Assembly.

Here are some screenshots:

edit your image tags to be links please.

konstruct · Apr 2011

AH right on, I can see the similarities. for what its worth the fiction behind that level is its a giant walking resource mining robot :P Derp.

Piesandbombs · May 2011

I wasn't trying to say you had stolen the design or anything, I just thought there were some similarities.

As someone already said, the work here is gorgeous, I can't wait to see it as I'm playing the game.

synergy11 · May 2011

Loving the Ruins enviro's.

Any chance on showing some assets and the creation process? : 0

Cheers

kendo · May 2011

That is totally sick work Konstruct, its like something out of a final fantasy cutscene.

Saved to inspire folder.

konstruct · May 2011

No worries Pies- Im just glad to finally know what Halo level people are talking about!

Synergy: We might post some process stuff down the road. Whats been exciting about this project is its the first time I`ve ever been able to work almost exclusively in max. The way cryengine3 is set up, 3dsmax is basically an extension to the editor. Thats not to say we don't use quite a few modular assets- I just want to emphasize that all the work that is typically done with BSP, what all done with mesh work, allowing for more more organic and non-blocky environments.

VictorSantos · May 2011

Great stuff dudes, I love it!! You really have some awesome environments on your portfolio!

Cheers!!

feanix · May 2011

This is awesome, no crits that I can think of I'm afraid! Gorgeous work!

Jeff Parrott · May 2011

Looking better all the time. Great job you two. When's the game coming out already?

cholden · May 2011

jeffro (end of) Summer is all I know.

IxenonI · May 2011

cool stuff, best of luck finishing the project!

cholden · May 2011

Hey, konstruct, I think your levels look like my Prius. I sure hope Toyota gets credit for this snafu!

you can't explain that.

konstruct · Sep 2011

lil bump.

got the go ahead to post a little wippage.

myles · Sep 2011

The back of somebody's head really finishes the level off.
Looks awesome though, really like the curvature in that last shot.

Slave_zero · Sep 2011

Really great work. Usually I often find those final fantasy styled curved survace buildings to be not that appealing but I really like what you did there. I expcially like the first shot of the above post. I don't know how much wip it is. But I could imagine a wonderfull video sequence of an airship approaching the hughe building.

Anyway: Great work!

cholden · Dec 2011

slipsius · Jan 2012

Visually, this looks awesome! Those levels are gorgeous. But, I'm wondering, and I'm not trying to be a dick here, but what makes this game stand out from unreal tournament? Story and gameplay look identical. Even the N logo looks like the unreal logo rotated 180 degrees.

I know that comes across as a dick comment, and im not trying to undermine your work, because it really does look beautiful, and you clearly put a lot of love into it. Im just wondering about game play, if there are features that set it apart that I don't know about. I cant seem to find where I saw it, I think its in this thread somewhere, but there was mention of ever changing levels. Are they dynamic?

I'm definitely going to pick this up though. UT is actually one of the very very few FPS games I liked to play, so the fact it reminds me so much of it is a good thing in my eyes. This looks much prettier though.
