An impressive tech demo of CryEngine – the new and improved Crysis 3 3D graphics engine. This new iteration includes:
..real-time volumetric cloud shadows, pixel-accurate displacement mapping, tessellated vegetation, composite 3D lens flare, procedural HDR flares and shapes, real-time global illumination, dynamic water volume caustics, real-time volumetric fog shadows, real-time area lights and cloth simulation.
Essentially it’s as close an approximation of the real world as certain friends of ours are likely to get for the next twelve months.
