Cryengine Models

[Angelwolf]

Are models made with Cryengine in mind, compatible with Leadwerks?

 

Theres a big asset sale on the Humble Bundle I'm considering buying.

[cassius]

Do they have fbx file format

[Angelwolf]

Thats kind of what I'm asking

[lxFirebal69xl]

I just got it and it's not worth it for us that use leadwerks, most of the files are .ma or .mb

There are a few .fbx here and there but they're quite scarce in comparison.

CryEngine have their own file extensions for models so I wouldn't waste your money

[Angelwolf]

Aw, thats a shame. Thanks guys.

It says that there are Maya project, fbx and obj files, so I don't see a problem. But check out about license.

Sadly, you can only use them with cryengine: https://twitter.com/cryengine/status/709874255010267136

 

I am interested in the audio, so... if you have news, please post.

from what I understand, these packs can be used in other engines than CryEngine:

Plants and Shrubs

Trees

Environment Props

Prototyping Kit

Textures, Decals, & Visual Effects

Audio Kit

Vehicle Pack SE

City Pack SE

Weapons Pack

Vehicle Pack HQ

City Pack HQ

Character and Animals

What about converting the models using ultimate unwrap 3D?

[thehankinator]

According to UU3D's website, it will read Farcry/Crysis files (.CGF and .CAF) and this page says that those are the file extensions that Cryengine uses. Looks like a real possibility you could convert it with UU3D.

 

There has to be some free assets for Cryengine I could try UU3D on, anyone got a link?

[Undac]

I only downloaded the audio and 2 model packs so far. The formats are fbx, max, ma and mb. The last two formats can only be converted using Maya (as far as I know). The audio pack is totally worth it - I would say that it's a very good deal.

[dennis]

For UU3D you just need to head to their website

[thehankinator]

The animations are in .ma format, anyone know how to convert that into something useful?

[Thirsty Panther]

I think UU3D can convert Maya files. Ill check when I get home.

 

Can you save it from Maya as a FBX file?

I am able to open the model itself but the model doesn't contain the animations, those are in a separate .ma file.

[Thirsty Panther]

Which model are you trying to animate?

 

Is it from the Humble Bundle?

 

I've got the bundle I just haven't had time to go thru them. If you can tell me the name and I'll see what I can do.

I am using the models from the Humble Bundle, the bird in specific, just to figure out the process of how I would get them into LE.

[Thirsty Panther]

From the Character and Animals set?

 

I'm off to work now but will have a look when I get home.

Yeah sorry, Character and Animals. Thanks for your help!

[Thirsty Panther]

Fark. Corrupt zip. Need to re-download. 10Gig

[Thirsty Panther]

Had a quick look. It looks as thou it has one animation which is 100 frames long and does nothing.

 

Other assets have an animation folder which the bird (Chicken) doesn't have. So maybe it has been overlooked.

 

Have you been able to use any of the other assets form the Animal and character set? Most are in Cryengine format.

I opened one of the human models. Same thing, animations within the model file are junk. It looks like the animations are in those separate .ma files, they have different ones for different sets of animations for each model. Not sure how to combine the .ma with the model file.

I looked more closely at femaleMedium, the animations do have any movement. no seperate ma files for different animations like the bird did.
