The High-Res Screenshot Thread!

Check out the afterburner stats in the top left, if Crysis 2 had any higher res textures at all I'd need a 3GB graphics card to play on Extreme!

Scroll ACROSS if you are bothered.

How did we manage to get water to look photorealistic before everything else? It should be the most difficult thing surely?

water seems to be not so hard to render, Cryengine2/3 are probably the best engines I have personally used for water quality. the hard thing to get right seems to be vegetation, Crysis was let down by bad vegetation quality, the second game has the same dodgy trees but its much less obvious due to the lack of trees in the game. problem is too make a truly authentic looking tree you would need to put a crazy amount of polygons into it, which would slow things down an absolute ton, probably unplayable. second best is to put more polygons into the trees but not so much that it ruins everything and use some sort of elaborate anti-aliasing to smooth things out, best example I seen was Transparency AA on NVIDIA cards but been told it absolutely murders the performance. ;)
