Dynamic Lighting

One of the things I particularly like about CryEngine 2 is its implementation of dynamic lighting, great for seeing the effects of changing sunlight on the landscape.


This simple video sequence shows a static view of Laxton Castle from sunrise to sunset, compressing a day into 90 seconds.  True, not much happens but the lighting effects at dawn and dusk are great and there is considerable potential for exploring interplay of light and landscape further.
