This a very nice idea:)

Perhaps this can be made a sticky in near future and experienced users can provide basic information on how to go about using the engine which will be a great help for noobs like us:cool:

Edit: Can I use crysis 2 editor even if I don't have the game?

Be Free... Be Creative... Be the Developer

An open letter to the Crytek Modding Community.

___________________________________________________

Hello to all of you.

Here at Crytek we value our community, and we love what you do with our engine. In recent times our focus has been heavily on the development of Crysis 2, however our modding community has been, and remains, very important to us.

So, I wanted to tell you about our plans for supporting you in the future with some really exciting news, which I want to share with you now. Modding with the most powerful game engine is coming back!

We want to see what you guys can do with CryENGINE 3 and we hope we'll be as amazed with the things you create as we have been over the past few years. This time around, we're going to do things in a different way - offering you the right tools to achieve your vision.

First of all, we will be launching an Editor for Crysis 2 early in summer. This will allow you to build new maps, items and more custom content for Crysis 2. For teams looking for even more creative freedom, we have another option: The free CRYENGINE SDK.


Be Free
In August 2011 we will be launching a free CryENGINE SDK. If you want to use it for fun, like all our previous MOD SDKs it will be completely free of charge, to anyone who wants to play with it! You just register, download the SDK with a personalized license key and you're good to go!


Be Creative
We'll be giving you access to the latest, greatest version of CryENGINE 3 - the same engine we use internally, the same engine we give to our licensees, the same engine that powers Crysis 2.

This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC.


Be The Developer
With all this power in your hands - we know you're going to do some amazing things with the engine, so we're working out how best to support you.

We'll also be sharing our documentation with you, which is written by the developers of the engine, and we'll be giving you a new and improved crymod.com. We'll update the Free CryENGINE SDK regularly, to make sure you have access to all the advances we make to CryENGINE 3.

If you want to use it to make a game to launch commercially, we'd like to help you with that. If you want to take your product down a traditional commercial route, we will offer an innovative low cost licensing model if you want to release your game digitally.

If you're looking to use CryENGINE for non-gaming purposes, we'll have a per-seat business model for the engine - please enquire at mycryengine.com for further details.

So to go over the details again:

Our next release will be the Crysis 2 Editor, this is for those of you who want to create content for Crysis 2. In August 2011, we will launch our Free CryENGINE SDK for all of you who want to create totally new content on CryENGINE 3. If you just want to make fun, free projects, you can do that free of charge. If you want to try and commercialise your game, we'll be here to help you with that.

I truly value the contribution you have all made to our company and I hope we can continue giving back to you in future.

All the best,


Cevat Yerli
CEO & President of Crytek

CRY ENGINE 3 Released!!

Hi guys another brilliant news!!

How to run Instructions

How to get started?

Prior to running the Free CryENGINE 3 SDK, make sure to have the latest DirectX version installed. To start the Free CryENGINE 3 SDK after having downloaded it, unpack the file with any unpacking software (e.g. Winrar, Winzip) and execute the Sandbox Editor.exe. It can be found in the Bin64 directory (also found in the Bin32 folder for 32-bit users) of the CryENGINE root folder. Additional help to setup Crytiff plugin, 3ds Max & Maya exporters and general Engine Usage can be found in the documentation on crydev.net.

Mr May, you missed the 'running instructions in the OP';):p

On a different note, I have noticed that the Full CryEngine 3 seems to be running in DX9 (D3D9) by default and as seen in ~>DG<~ screenshots, even though I am running it in Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (DX11) :(

Could it be that later on, we will also be getting a DX11 patch for the full CryEngine 3? Crytek has stated that the engine will keep updating.
 
got some vegitation on now and grassy look to island but when im placing the trees they are red :confused: head needs a break :p
 
well th bushes are green i put down and rocks are grey but the trees are red with writing on the leaves .

thought the trees would have been green and not each part to do individual makes no sense . probably just me doing it wrong :p
 
GAH, ****ING RESITS!

I want to play BF3, Deus ex 3, trackmania 2 and develop stuff with this.


AHHHHHHH



Then I've got my final year.
