New CRYENGINE Video Shows Insane Real-time Destruction And Physics

Dam impressive :)

And i notice the music is a cover of theme song from casper movie :)

[Gazondaily]

Looks nice but it remains to be seen whether in-game applications will be this intricate.

Also...where are my realistic liquid physics?!

[papashango]

physics was nice and all back in 07-08

nowadays I'd just take optimized hit detection and fluid gameplay. pretty much the fundamentals that developers nowadays don't put much thought into anymore.

[GutZ31]

I noticed collision at high velocity doesn't seem to be working well.
The hummers didn't take out all the particles as they entered, but only when exited at slower speeds, in some cases.
Tech is nice, but shows work is still needed.

[Tsar4ever01]

I dig the physics, but I don't like the pieces all being the same size and shape. I still think Nvidia's APEX DESTRUCTION demo is still the best physic sim I've seen thus far. If I were a dev making and War type game such as Battlefield, COD or MOH, or a Titanfall, I'd would use this middleware physics engine for ingame destruction.

where can i get this program :D

[DoomeDx]

Its cryengine dude. You can download the free SDK

[STICKzophrenic]

Pause it at :28. The vehicle clipped through the orange wall, and a lot of it was left undisturbed until it bounced.

[john2]

Yeap, there are minor issues here and there. Also notice at the end of the video that the broken model is floating in the air (my guess is that 'gravity' settings were not applied to it)

[STICKzophrenic]

Yeah, the particles seemed rather floaty as well, didn't have much weight. Regardless of the minor issues, it's pretty impressive.

[Ritsujun]

Get your physics straight, Cryingtek.

[ion53]

When he shoots, is that not what Snowdrop has? Just a bit different. I think Snowdrop has different surfaces that react differently.

[Are_The_MaDNess]

most of the most used engines like Cryengine, Unreal engine and even Source support this aswell. this is nothing new to gaming.

tho there is much less games that actually use it till now since the consoles didnt have enough power to use it till now.

[Geoff900]

CryEngine tends to do it's calculations on the actual client PC, each block you are seeing is being calculated in real-time.

The Mass, speed, change the dynamics of what you see as a result of these calculations.

Although Snowdrop does have some level of Physics it's mostly place holder, basically they have done the physics on a server farm recorded a few variations on put it into the game. Think of it like BF3-4 whereby the destruction is always the same, no matter how you shoot the various buildings/objects etc.

[ion53]

Thank you very much for clearing that up.

[Rute]

Trippy, especially the part where the tanks were hovering around to the tune of the soothing piano music.

[Are_The_MaDNess]

not impressed. Gameworks from Nvidia with their Physx can do alot better and at a much higher scale.
i understand that cryengine is in alot of trouble since its not used as much. esp when the UE got this cheap ass subscription fee instead of a huge price at the start, witch is great for indie devs and such aswell.

[DoomeDx]

You didnt hear? Cryengine has a monthly subscription too now. And its cheaper then UE

[imt558]

Microsoft's cloud presentation about destruction physics @ Build and only possible with power of the cloud.

Wait...what? Cryengine can do this without cloud. And every other engine with included nVidia's Physx or Havok.

[xfear2diex]

aren't you overreacting
and there no one mentioned Microsoft in this topic
and they never said it only possible in the cloud yeah as of now their cloud talk seem fishy but what they meant it will be possible for a pc to get more computing power out of cloud computing nothing more or less its still fishy regrading how will that support over 3 millions xbone players while having only 300 server

[Geoff900]

Yeah because an entire building is the same thing as a simple wall...

Oh and the framerate looked okay, but not great, it was stuttering even on a high end machine.

[Coach_McGuirk]

why does everyone here shit on every cryengine article? i think it looks awesome

[HugoDrax]

Because it was used to develop a Microsoft Xbox One game (RYSE), which looked amazing I might add.

[Belasco]

Because it's not used to make exclusive games for a certain console.

[Belasco]

It looks awesome, but I am tired of having my expectations raised to ridiculous heights by tech demos only to have them come crashing to earth because it never actually materializes in a game. This goes for Crytek, Epic, Dice, or whoever. Here's an idea: How about better animation? All I see is destructable this and that yet most character transitions and all around movement haven't seemed to change for a decade. Its jarring to see this photorealistic world and then there is this choppy, goofy looking character running around in it.

[Geoff900]

You can do this in the CryEngine. Right now, all you have to do is download the SDK.

[Belasco]

I am not a developer, so I can't nor do I desire to do that.

[ShowGun901]

agree.

even the best looking game always looks less realistic when im controlling it. they really need to work on animations, but thats up to the devs and how much time they wanna invest in that.

[tee_bag242]

Nice demo.. I wish they got the car to crumple up too

[urwifeminder]

Wow its like Bruce Lee punched it amazing stuff.

[aLiEnViSiToR]

Dayum that was cool :D

[Milesprowers]

This will look sweet when i develop my oculus rift enabled sex simulator.

[aliengmr]

It looked good, hardly mind-blowing.

The only thing I really noticed was the size of the pieces, beyond that it was pretty basic particle stuff. Granted, the amount of particles was impressive, but its hardly ground breaking, especially for Cryengine.

Consider this was only particles made in the form of a wall and set to collide. They don't "act" as one single structure. They bounce and collide, but that's it.

[mochachino]

Very cool.

[PersonMan]

Wasn't really impressed.
