Fable house in CryEngine

Michaël — Sat, 12 May 2012 22:04:56 +0000

Hi, I’m not dead, here’s a little something: you may remember this house I made…. last year (already one year!!), well now that I’m a bit familiar with the CryEngine SDK, I tried to import this little scene, so here it is (the trees are from the SDK):

Photo!

Hi, nothing new in 3D (some work is in progress), but I’ve started to practice photography more seriously (bought a DSLR).
I publish my best photos on 500px: my account, and many more on my DeviantArt profile.
Hope you’ll like it!

Building 01

From now on, I’m going to make more buildings, just to pratice. Always taken from reference, found this one on Google Street View.
Screengrabs from the CryEngine SDK. 12 465 tris. 17 materials (diff/norm/spec). The trees are from the SDK.

Cry Engine test

Hi, I’m still alive, been working on several scenes and not even finished one… So here’s a quick one I made just to test lighting and mood (mostly self-illumination) in the Cry SDK. Based on a photo by Matt Barnes.

Insane Track

Hi there people… I present you an old Trackmania track I made probably 2 or 3 years ago, but never had the courage to validate it.
So I did it… my time is not perfect but at least now this track is in your hands and I hope you’ll enjoy it like I enjoyed creating it!
It’s nearly 50km long and it’ll take more than 12 min to complete, good luck!

Big thank you to my friend Quentin Gardiennet, who invented a lot of the stuff you’ll see in this track.

Enjoy!

Update V1.2: I improved some areas of the track that were too frustrating/hard, and I added the automatic camera changes for each big stunt!

“Be ready to fight the horde!”

Okay, here’s my latest scene, which is a sort of Left 4 Dead fan art. The idea was to create a L4D-ish environment and for once, to do something industrial and most of all a complete scene, with a sky and everything. This picture is a screengrab of Max 2012’s viewport, with its realistic mode enabled. Just a little post-prod for the noise (and sharpen). It’s around 53 000 tris.
By the way, you should imagine seeing the 8 survivors (from L4D and L4D2) preparing their weapons to confront a horde of angry infected (which you should see the shadows on my buildings).

Detroit final (gave up)

Latest picture of this one, I probably won’t finish it, but here it is (Max screengrab, Realistic mode enabled):

Hi there, here’s a new site (a Tumblr) I created with my friend Aurélien. You’ve probably guessed, it’s about video games!
It’s like a photograph gallery but for games. Our best in-game screenshots.

A tribute to Fable III

Michaël — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:34:56 +0000

Hi! I’m back with something really different from what I’m used to, this time no filthy modern building with destroyed things… no, this time, it’s a pretty little house you could have seen in Fable 3. I played this game a lot recently and I love it, the ambient excellent. So, here’s a small tribute I made with 3Ds Max 2012. These are screenshots from Max’s viewport with the fantastic Realistic Mode enabled (this feature is awesome). Hope you’ll like it:

WIP

I continue my personal work at home, trying with new techniques. Here a building I’ve started:

I plan to import this scene into the CryEngine 3 when it will be released (and when I have a new PC xD).
