CryEngine 3 Free SDK

[ReVan1199]

Ich bin ja mal gespannt ob die das heute pünktlich veröffentlichen und ob DX11 jetzt dabei ist
Auch interessant wird sein, ob sich was bei der Performance zwischen Crysis 2 DX11 und dem CE3 SDK DX11 was tut.

CryENGINE 3 Free SDK Update – 3.3.9

Hi CryENGINEERS!

The latest and greatest version of the CryENGINE 3 Free SDK is now available for download on CryDev! You can find the Crytek press release here.

The download is available in its usual location, right here: CryENGINE Free SDK 3_3_9_3410

Crytek GmbH (Crytek), creators of the award-winning Crysis video game franchise and CryENGINE 3D engine technology, announced that Autodesk Scaleform user interface (UI) solution is now integrated into CryENGINE 3. The technology will also be included in CryENGINE 3 free SDK, as part of a new update released today. Scaleform has been Crytek’s UI solution-of-choice for the development of all titles in the “Crysis” franchise.

“Our licensees and community need top quality GUI solutions to match up to their ambitious goals with CryENGINE and Scaleform delivers that. Crytek has worked exclusively with Scaleform for the last seven years, and our new integration makes CryENGINE the most complete engine available for a single price, offering all the technology needed to create AAA quality games. We’re excited that we’ve come this far and we’ll have another major update to our engine around GDC 2012.” said Carl Jones, Director of Global Business Development CryENGINE.

Scaleform is a production-proven user interface solution that has been used in more than 1,000 games to date. With Scaleform, users can easily create a whole range of UI assets like mini-maps, heads-up displays (HUDs), game menus, mission objectives, flash projection and more. CryENGINE 3’s new UI-Emulator and UI Actions tools allow for real-time creation and interaction with Autodesk Scaleform UI elements, using the unique “What You See Is What You Play”- philosophy of CryENGINE® Sandbox™.

“CryENGINE 3 simplifies multi-platform game development with efficient tools for gameplay and environment creation, and unique features that enable the simultaneous real-time editing of game environments across multiple platforms,” said Marc Stevens, Autodesk vice president, product management. “As one of the earliest adopters of Scaleform, Crytek knows first-hand that the UI solution makes a great addition to the broad toolset already offered in CryENGINE 3. Scaleform will help Crytek licensees and community members create immersive UI environments for both AAA and casual games.”

CryENGINE Free SDK 3.3.9: Adding Scaleform and a Whole Lot More

In addition to offering Scaleform technology, the Free SDK update will also feature several DirectX 9 rendering improvements, providing POM (Parallax Occlusion Mapping), SSDO (Screen-space Directional Occlusion), Particle GI (Global Illumination) and a new “Very High” graphics configuration to support these new features and offer higher levels of rendering quality.

The CryENGINE team has also been working to provide fixes for the most prominent issues holding up the community. CryENGINE 3 Free SDK 3.3.9 includes improved SLI/CF support, improved 32-bit driver support, support for 5.1/7.1 surround sound systems and many improvements to CryENGINE 3 Sandbox.

Sehr schön. Fehlt nur noch die Indie Lizenz und DX11.
Beides spielt für die Anfangsphase einer Produktion jedoch kaum eine Rolle, daher sollte man jetzt wunderbar loslegen können und zwischendurch kommt dann der Rest

[ReVan1199]

Das einzige was mich ärgert ist, das die Ribbon Oberfläche mit dem neuen Build nicht mehr funktioniert

[chicken]

deine map geht noch ?

[Mr.H0n$3L]

juhu, ScaleForm ist mit dabei, jetzt kann es ja losgehen mit den bastelspaß

EDIT: hatte grad langeweile, da hab mal ein kurzes video gemacht!

Sehr gelungenes Update wie ich finde.

Bei mir geht es. Du musst die "RibbonFreeSDK" Datei in "Editor/UI" löschen.

[chicken]

statt dx11 einzubauen solltense erstmal die Fehler wegmachen und nicht wieder neue machen

http://www.crydev.net/viewtopic.php?f=369&t=77373 usw.

die very high option haben sie auch vergessen (kann man aber mit sys_spec = 4 aufrufen).

[Mr.H0n$3L]

hey, ich kann die "CryEngine_GameCodeOnly.sln" im code ordner nicht mehr öffnen, die wurde anscheinend mit einer neueren version abgespeichert.
weiß jemand ob es möglich ist, die .sln in der 2008er version zu öffnen/importieren.

EDIT: hab auch die "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition", aber da kriege ich nur error meldungen! (projektmappenordner werden in dieser version nicht unterstützt).
