Well since you't can't get Frostbite i'll ignore that engine. I would say CRYENGINE is the easiest and the least cluttered of those engines. Also the UX is a lot better on CE. Also baking lightmaps? No thanks. That should be illegal. Both engines have pros and cons ofcourse, why don't you test both?...

Just bought this one too. Nice work. Can easily be modified to not use the GameSDK.

The Asset Browser supports all those format but will convert to the native Crytek Game Format (CGF) using the Resource Compiler. Just drag and drop them in or use the File | Import menu inside the Asset Browser.

Not long now looking forward to it.

The FBX Importer does not support touch bending yet.

Customizable Post Effect Pipeline has been moved back to Research & Development it seems. Maybe it requires more research, don't know. For all we know after 5.6 is released the roadmap might be updated again and perhaps it will be moved to 5.7. Would be nice to have a solution like this.

I dont know if the US sanctions that started on monday has anything to do with it. Any form of payment will not work i think as the payment providors are not allowed to do business in Iran.

Not sure about website restrictions.

The only restriction i know about is probably for purchasing on the Marketplace not the actual CRYENGINE forums.

With enough programming and modelling skills anything is possible. I would say yes to all.

If there is a file called CryExport20_64.dlu, that should be the one.

Check in CRYENGINE_5.5\Tools\3dsmax\plugins
