Sponza Atrium

[LutinMalefique]

I've just found this news, the sponza atrium model made by Marko Dabrovic and used for a lot of lighting test is now available for free. You can found it on crytek web site. http://www.crytek.com/downloads/technology/

Here some screenshots of my first test with that model:

[LutinMalefique]

yes it is.

Here is the first version of my demo of the Sponza atrium under Gamecore. The player can move in all the atrium and show the number of FPS. Many post-processing effects were used (ambient occlusion, HDR, bloom),so ? light ? machines risk to suffer.

The next versions should correct shadow bugs, to allow to deactivate post process effects, a cinematic mode,  a  day / night  cycle and  include some physical objects.

hm, get around 20fps in fullscreen and 40 in window mode. i dont seem to have bloom and its not as light as in the pics. maybe it is turned off in exporting?

[LutinMalefique]

@pixel this version is darker than the pics i've post and in that version bloom is very low.

I have not found yet how to represent at best this scene :enlightened as my previous post or darker as crytek made (http://img10.imageshack.us/i/screenshot0262.jpg/)

about the framerate, i've got 33fps in fullscreen and in the editor ("use game resolution") 55fps, i will that a look at that.

hm, I think your screens is almost better, but your floor is to bright so maybe something in between. Their shadows are almost black and I don't think that looks good

awesome - downloading the demo now!

i downloaded the model a while back but didn't end up doing much with it - just spotted this thread again and am going to experiment with it a bit as well...

thanks Gekido.

i haven't made much more improvement since the first release. i'll try to work on it when the 2.5 will be out.
