If you release nothing else, I would appreciate either a quick post, or some sort of tutorial on how you rendered those mountains in Terragen, and how you imported them into CE3.

awesome !
it gave me the urge to return play with CryENGINE

btw , i have a little question :

i want to make a game that unfolds in a similar envirenement, however i need the biggest map possible size , so the player can take a flyable vehicle and fly over without reaching the map limits too quickely

i have read somewhere here that the cryengine is somehow limited for such situations

any comment on this please

Just start with the maximum size map, i can assure you CE3 can make huge levels. Im currently making chicago in CE3, and im not even using the largest map size.

very good news

btw i admit that i havn't take time to look closer in the terrain capabilities, just read some posts about the subjet ...
