Geo Piskas Uber Modder	Lightbox - Model Presentation Studio [Addon 1st post] Hello, this is both an asset and a level. It's a Lightbox level, in which you can render your models in CryEngine. It is created with professional lighting system and various enhancements in order to get the best out of your models. General Information: Level: Lightbox Level Type: Model presentation Version: 1.5 Release Date: 25/3/2010 Download link: Lightbox Addon download link: Lightbox_addition (Round Lightbox Alternative) Features: For use in CryEngine Sandbox Editor only. Includes 3 difrent lightbox setups. For all small (weapons), medium (characters) and big (vehicles) models. Ideal 3 point lighting system, especially designed for model presentation. Fully customisable lights. Included scrn.cfg with which you can take pics using the procedure written below. Color correction flowgraph. 360 degree angle model rotation for video capture. Included cameras for taking pictures of the models. Optional CryEngine logo. Included helpers in case of difficulties. Recommendations: For a more professional look, use the round lightbox. In the editor, when you are ready to take a picture, close the rollup bar and leave only the console open so that you can write exec scrn. This way you get a wide screen pic. Make sure all settings are maxed out for best quality. Dont scale or alter settings and positions of objects. Save the final pictures in .png format. Jpg creates artifacts and decreases quality. Some objects are frozen to avoid moving them by mistake. F: Freeze, Ctrl+F: Unfreeze ======== Author: Geo Piskas a.k.a.

Blablah Uber Modder	That's spiffy. It's nice to see something simple be executed more elaborately. Although I would get rid of the CE2 logo because it draws unnecessary attention. __________________ IRC This post has been edited 1 time(s), it was last edited by Blablah: 24.03.2010 12:24.

Cry-Lee Community Manager	Photographers have been using these for years, mainly advertising but a lot of good stuff has come from light and dark boxes. Great idea Geo Piskas! __________________ Crytek - Community Manager E-mail - Leew@crytek.com CryMOD FAQ - MyCrysis.com Be sure to check us out on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to stay up to date with the very latest from Crytek.

It has been done before, but never really in lightbox form.
