By Crysis, Featured Game Engine, Game Engine, Physics Engines


Crysis LEGO map from Robert Tieber on Vimeo.

The Crysis engine has an inbuilt physics system that supports vehicles, rigid bodies, liquid, rag doll, cloth and soft body effects. The movies in this post provide a glimpse of the physics engine in action, the first clip above demonstrates the ‘Lego’ modification running in real-time.
The following movies illustrate the use of the physics engine of Crysis in maximum effect. Note each one was rendered frame by frame using the ‘linked method’, take a look at this thread for full details.

Finally applying the technique to buildings:

Readers may recall our work earlier work in Crysis, a change of deadlines stalled the earlier work somewhat but we will be returning to Crysis in terms of physics, agents and urban modelling in the coming months…

Little People in the City: Non Tilt Shift City Art (they really are small)

By Little People, Tilt-shift Miniature

Over the past few weeks we have been writing about Tilt Shift photography used to create fake ‘model like’ images of the city. As such we were delighted by the book and blog ‘Little People In The City’.

Produced by the photographer Slinkachu the book depicts scenes of model people going about their everyday lives in the real city. Ranging from fending for themselves on the mean streets to simply using the cash machine the work is both innovative and charming.

The book is available via Amazon, normally priced at £10 it is currently online at £6.00 and as such is a must buy.

Take a look at http://www.slinkachu.com/ for more info and also the blog http://little-people.blogspot.com/

Thanks go to Fabian from http://urbantick.blogspot.com/ (the latest blog out of CASA, home of digital urban) for putting the book on my desk…

Its a brilliant idea, now if you could merge fake tilt shift with actual little people……
