Importing Entire Level into Cryengine

Importing Entire Level into Cryengine

#1 by Victal

I have a large scale environment that I want to bring into the engine from 3DS Max. Do I bring it in as a CFG object or what? Do I need to create a ton of proxy objects for the polygon floor and walls? How would I go about doing this?

Just export it in modules. The DCC exporter adds proxy.

What do you mean modules? I can add proxy but don't proxies need to be enclosed for proper stable collisions so automatic proxies generated by export would give me issues? If I export it in parts how do I line it up right in engine?

Is cryengine dead? I feel like I'm not asking anything too complex here

Hey Victal,

It is not advised to create entire environments like this as a single object but it is possible of course.
Due to the complexity of your object in its entirety you will want to create separate proxy meshes, if there are different materials used (wood/metal etc), then you will want to split them into different proxy meshes also so you can define the proper surface types.
