As an example of an urban map made with the CryENGINE2, a mapper named ShortStuf7 is making a realistic rendition of a high-rise apartment building. Here is the mapper's description: I haven't yet decided whether I actually want to develop this into a level, because optimizing the visibility in the building is tedious, but anyways, I may just release this as an asset when I'm pleased with it.
Alright, so over the past 3 days I've created this apartment building using mainly solids with props and prefab props, etc to try and recreate a realistic apartment building. Nearly everything in the building works, thanks to the flowgraph as well as some prefabs. All of the lights can be turned on or off by their specific lightswitch, the oven can be fired up, the fridge can be opened, the sink can be turned on in the bathroom, the shower can be turned on, the toilet lid can be raised/lowered, etc. The building is really interactive.
To Do:
Optimize props and lighting so they don't lag; so it doesn't render them when they aren't in view (any suggestions? I tried putting occluders in all the walls, but that doesn't work very well. Suggestions welcome)
Do the first floor/lobby area
Add vents, electrical boxes and satellite dishes/antennae to the roofhttp://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/thumb_apartment1.jpg (http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/apartment1.jpg) http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/thumb_apartment2.jpg (http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/apartment2.jpg) http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/thumb_apartment3.jpg (http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/apartment3.jpg)
