Hey fellas, here's some WIP shots of an environment I'm currently working on for portfolio purposes. Still a few things to add, tweaks and work needing to be done on various bits and pieces, particularly in the distance, but it gives you a feel of how its shaping up. I also plan to add some rolling mist, possibly a small mid lake island, and also a floatplane at the end of the pier. Everything you see is custom created, right down to every last texture. I have used no stock Crytek stuff at all. Let me know what you guys think

Oh-My-God! Best screens I´ve ever seen! Is that Free SDK?

Aha, thanks dude

Yeah its free SDK.

When the options and additional things for Free SDK arrive, will you release the map?

very very nice. Really a good showpiece for any portfolio

I haven't put this through a histogram but just by eye, from a shading perspective I'd bring the highlights down a bit and perhaps the saturation too in places.

Otherwise, an all-round impressive piece of work!

Thanks for the tip, I'll see about getting that done for the next update, cheers

The trees look a bit funny (their trunks are too thick) but the nature setup and the lighting in these pics is superb. Great job!

Love the lake shot especially. Are the background mountains a skybox? The blue fog in the horizon looks a bit out of place.

The trees are fixed in the current version, I've had the thick trunks crit from a few people

The mountains are indeed a skybox, and I'll be working into the distance fog a little bit more yet

OMG, very nice Screens!

Could you release the ToD?

i think this looks fantastic great job nice and bright and the mountains look fab bro

Other than the weird trees, excellent work !!!

Reminds me of some animated cartoon

Wooow, that's impressive !
My brother saw those screens and shouted: ''Alan Wake!'' xP.
And the best part is I think he's right: your work is at the same level of Alan Wake.

Awesome work !
