CRYENGINE-powered music video

Our very own Senior Cinematic Artist Joe Garth used CRYENGINE to make a music video for his personal Great Big Things project. He recently conducted an interview with 80 Level where he speaks about how he created the amazing 3d environment for this atmospheric piece. Read on about the process in detail here[link] and check out the video below.

Not just for realism

Cartoon forest is a project from CRYENGINE community member Pelee which shows that while CRYENGINE is famed for its photorealistic capabilities, it can equally be used for radically different art styles. Check out the lush renders of these beautifully composed, fairytale-like scenes.

For a change of pace with a new art style, check out Pelee’s warehouse scenes which are dripping with atmosphere. 

There’s more art in  – go treat your eyeballs!
