I think we need one of these. I'm having a hell of a time finding good tutorials, so I'm hoping people have some good ones I can add to this first post. And since Sandbox is coming to consoles, I'm sure it will start getting popular around here. Also, who is excited for CryEngine3?

They weren't the only ones who used Crysis .


HP sent me this official site to learn the editor, http://doc.crymod.com/

That's quite an old screenshot you are using there ;P
Lee3dee beats me to it, we mainly used the official site for learning and random google searches.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned anywhere, is to disable the source control under preferences otherwise it might not save changes that you do to materials...etc. Took me some time to find that out . :S

Is it possible to use the crysis demo's sandbox 2 for 3d max 2009? If anyone can answer I would appreciate it.

max 2009 does not work with sandbox at all. which sucks, i have to downgrade

Damn. Thanks anyways.

You guys can grab Crysis Wars trial and use Crysis Wars SDK which is somehow improved version over the original Sandbox2. So you can pretty much get CE2 for your personal shit for free

Awesome! Thanks [HP].

No problem man, I have a lot more on my bookmarks, but most of them are down now, the links I posted should be more than enough for starters tho!

I'll keep an eye on this thread if anyone needs any help with anything!

I agree on sticking this, we have one for UE3, so why don't we have one for CE2?! ;)

Cheers

PS, updated my previous post with crywiki URL.

Really? OMG thats been driving me insane! I work in sandbox 2 daily and often times modifying/creating materials multiple times per day so this is actualy great to know.

I'm currently working on a concept for a multiplayer space sim in the engine so I'll post some screenshots later when I'm on break.

Its great to see others take to the engine.

thanks for the useful links guys.

Actually MAX 2009 plugins were released a couple of weeks ago. Crysis Warhead I think?

Crysis Wars SDK which i mentioned in my previous post.

sweet! I was not aware thanks man

to bad max2009 is not the current release of max ;)

Found a good link to the Crysis wars trial Buddy was talking about.

http://www.bigdownload.com/games/cry...l-single-file/

I have had no probs using the max 2009 plugin from the wars sdk in the crysis editor. I havent tried any animated models yet but for all statics its great.

Sweet! I'm still downloading, but glad to know that 5 gigs and a few hours aren't going to waste. It sucks I have to download this huge thing though.

Well the 5 gig download was a bust. But finally found the right thing. This is all you need -

yay thank you!

blah for some reason i cant get this working

can't get what working?

well i dont know- i mean am i getting the whole thing wrong? I thought i could download this 50 mb SDK and start to import stuff in. Or i should download the 5 gig trial?

When you installed it did you install the SDK AND the source code, I came with two installers.

This thread could not have come at a better time. Been wanting to get into this engine for sooo long!
