changestyleman also known as MasterGod who was working on the Crysis 2 Minecraft Mod is at it again with another cool physics mod using the CryEgine 3 SDK. This time he is working on a general mass physics mod. According to the thread over at Crydev.net the mod will have “Dynamic destruction (like Red faction armageddon… but dynamic)” and thousands of rigid bodies. Check out the videos of the mod in action below and his work log over at the Crydev.net forums here.

City Interactive has announced their new WWII action FPS game ENEMY FRONT that will be powered by CryEngine 3. What excited me about this is that according to the press release the game will feature “Fully destructible maps that reflect the damage from every bullet fired and every grenade tossed.” We know that CryEngine 3 is capable of some impressive physics and destruction and we will be keeping an eye on this game to see if it delivers on it’s promise. Unfortunately I can’t get my hopes up as this is going to be a PC and console title game and we all know what happened with Crysis 2 as a multi-platform game. Hopefully game developers have taken a good look at how DICE handled BF3 for the PC and start to do the same for their games.
There is no official site yet but they do have a Facebook page up with some cool screenshots check it out.
Enemy Front utilizes CryENGINE®3, a state-of-the-art engine that guarantees a stunning level of visual detail and a truly immersive game world. CryENGINE®3 brings the game’s authentic settings and the bleak landscapes of war-torn Europe to vivid life. Furthermore the environmental damage system of CryENGINE®3 will allow diverse, fully destructible maps that reflect the damage from every bullet fired and every grenade tossed.
BurSchnart has made a really cool video showing off the physics in CryEngine 3. The video uses “thousands of objects being hit or thrown away with Gravity Volumes” Check it out below and check his YouTube page for more cool videos.
Finally a physics video from the new CryEngine 3 SDK!!!!. This past week Crytek released the CryEngine 3 SDK free of charge for non-commercial use and since then we have been seeing some nice starter turotials but nothing with physics and destruction that can be done with it. YouTube User yohan80 has imported a Crysis 1 house into the SDK and shown off some nice physics effects. Check it out below.
For those of you that want to learn to use the CryEngine SDK i suggest checking out CyberGameArts. He is doing an entire CryEngine 3 tutorial series and posting them to YouTube.
