CryENGINE

Q: Are there non-commercial licenses of CryENGINE available?

A: No, Crytek does not provide a non-commercial licensing program.

Q: How much is the Licensing fee of CryENGINE?

A: Pricing details will be not shown to public. It will presented only to potential licensors after signing an NDA.

Q: I am creating a game, but I don´t have money to license an engine. Is it possible to get a license with the option, "License fee will be paid after commercial release of game"?

A: No, we don´t follow this strategy and are not interested in to deal with this

that but that's .. too bad

Any upcoming game licensed this engine ?

Since it seems like Doom III is using a technique similar to this I wonder if they will make the tool available to mod makers. This is also similar to how displacement mapping works. It would be something if an engine could use displacement mapping plus bumpmapping or just bumpmapping depending on the computer's power.

This is also similar to how displacement mapping works.

Displacement mapping works quite the contrary - using low-poly model and displacement map the high-poly model is calculated by video card.

The technology seems to be similar, but the models look nowhere as good as those in Doom3. I guess Kevin Cloud is just too good at what he does
Still, can't wait for the eval plugin for Max to test it.
