WIP - Oblivion to Crysis * Videos inside first page *

Hi there !

This is my first post to the modding community and I wanted to share with you some personal work I am doing with the SB2 editor : as I am a great fan of Oblivion and Crysis, i wondered what the Oblivion assets would look like with such a fantastic next-gen engine from the guys at Crytek (you're the best !) and the result in my opinion is far greater than expected and really pays major tribute to the artists of Bethesda.

So here are a few screens of a very simple level I am actually working on.

Of course, for legal copyright reasons, only screens will be shared Wink

[EDIT] For those who don't want to go through the full thread in search of the videos, here's a complete compilation of them here :

Fortran 24/7 Modder	RE: WIP - Oblivion to Crysis Wow, they really do like nice, although not supprising considering the visual quality of Oblivion. What are you intending to do with this? It seems a little futile considering you can't release it? Why not try get a moddeler on board and make your own "Oblivion" type game ?

watbe Uber Modder	that looks like it came straight out of oblivion! At first I though you posted screens of Oblivion but then I re-read your post. Edit: my 100th post! __________________ modspark.com This post has been edited 1 time(s), it was last edited by watbe: 03.03.2008 18:38.

Vladtek Trained Modder	Great pictures! So you are doing this level for yourself? You'd better to make a mod... __________________

Salenger Beginner Thread Starter	Thanks for the feedback ! Yes, this is a level just for my personal fun I don't really have time to work on a mod from scratch (I'm a father of two ) but since the SDK came out, I was just curious to see what the Oblivion assets would look like in a photorealistic engine. I still have a few ideas to add to the level (smoke from the chimneys and entering the houses the "oblivion way" (teleporting inside that is) - because to merge the assets would be too hard and tedious to do - and anything that comes to my mind ...). What I'd LOVE to do is to include some wildlife from Oblivion (Crysis lacks that alot IMO) but that would be way too complex for me, but who knows ? Anyway, stay tuned for some shots in a near future ! __________________ Salenger Windows 7 AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Geforce 8800GT 4 Gb RAM

Ultimarage Uber Modder	The pictures are nice and all but... Why show us screens when you can't release it..? It's basically like saying "Look what you could play, but you're not going to get to! Hahahahah!" For some tips, you should increase the grass sprite distances as it looks terrible when you can see the sprites like 10 feet in front of you... It needs ALOT more detail; more terrain variation, stuff like that. The terrain needs to be setup to look more like Oblivion too. Of course, I realize that this is more or less just a 'proof of concept', but just some food for thought. Good luck. __________________ Currently working on my first freelance gig.

Salenger Beginner Thread Starter	I understand that this can be frustrating for some of you : I hesitated a long time before posting these pics. But I felt that I needed to show off "the power" of the Cryengine2 with some beautiful assets of a talented team (the oblivion engine is two years old now and was considered as the best engine out there at the time !), even if my mapping "talents" are far from par given the quality of the other mods from the community (I'm a complete newbie !). Any tips will be warmly welcomed, trust me ! __________________ Salenger Windows 7 AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Geforce 8800GT 4 Gb RAM

Fortran 24/7 Modder	I think your doing a good job so far, just need to keep working at it. I would strongly suggest asking a moddeler to maybe help you out in creating some "similar" looking copies of the Oblivion assets, doesn't need to be a mod (although it would be a nice one) but at least you could release the map when its finished that way.

03.03.2008 20:34
Cry-Alex Assistant Project Manager	you better stick to just showing off the pictures. I guess you took the assets from oblivion and export them into sb2? If so you really should not release that level at all since what you are doing is copyright infrignment and thus illegal -alex __________________ Alexander Marschal Crytek Assistant Project Manager

Salenger Beginner Thread Starter	Hi Alex, I knew you would pop-up sooner or later No problem, I will just post pics - that's what I intended to do anyway ! Good moderating job btw __________________ Salenger Windows 7 AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Geforce 8800GT 4 Gb RAM

Cry-Alex Assistant Project Manager	Well, if someone would volunteer in re-creating similar assets I bet this would be one hell of a level/mod -alex __________________ Alexander Marschal Crytek Assistant Project Manager

Ebmaister Trainee	really cool!! im an bit of an elderscrolls fan too ( and of course a Crysis fan too) and those looks real great! have you thought of trying to model the white gold tower (or whats its name) that would be awsome! __________________ "It's nice to be important , But it's more important to be nice"

metalspy Skilled Modder	Hmm.. question: why create a Crysis - Oblivion mod instead of just creating an Oblivion mod? xD A Crysis - Oblivion mod would be cool, but maybe a bit pointless?

XtremeGhost Experienced Modder	Hey, man really nice pics, Currently I'm working on an oblivion mod , too the prob is I have nobody that could help me, I love oblivion and crysis really and I think It's a must to create an oblivion mod, with the cryengine 2, it's a pitty you can't release these assets, they would look really nice in my map. Just one question how the hell did you export those nice models into the editor? I mean which proigram does convert them?

Codename22 Hardcore Modder	RE: WIP - Oblivion to Crysis This looks awsome! Thumbs up! Oblivion always looked awsome and I wanted to explorer the worlds! Too bad i'm just to lazy to play that game to level high and finish it I even was too lazy to buy it Awsome! Keep up the good work! C-22 PS: how about anyone makes a morrowind mod? __________________ http://codename.22web.net/

liveboy Uber Modder	RE: WIP - Oblivion to Crysis HEHE.. I JUST GETED OBLIVION FROM ON OF MY FRIENDS AND A LITTLE OBLVION MOD TO CRYSIS GREAT

Minbargen Trainee	RE: WIP - Oblivion to Crysis Wow, excellent work, too bad you can't release it. I agree with everyone else though. Make some "similer" versions of things and then you can release it. __________________ _________________________________________________________ WIP -Nanosuit Recovery

Eshme Experienced Modder	RE: WIP - Oblivion to Crysis I always wanted to pull out my minigun in Oblivion, now is the time? lol The one shot looks surprisingly similar to the original from one famous promo screenshot i cant remember exactly.

Mr.Guybrush II Skilled Modder	Quite a surprising response from you Alex. I'm sure they'd be uproar if Crysis content made its way onto another engine, but rules change when its another companys work Honestly it's not difficult to make buildings. Just do yourself a favour and give it a try, ripping content from other games is a pretty ****ty thing to do. I'm sure all developers would agree.
