It can be used to create AAA games, movies, high-quality simulations, and interactive applications.

It is most popularly used for game development. In this book, you will start off by exploring the CRYENGINE "Blank" Game Starter-kit, creating a completely playable character from scratch and controlling its movement.

You will learn how to implement a weapon and ammo class, and will create complete "start" and "end" game menus using Scaleform and C++. Additionally, you will learn some key texturing techniques for PBR and how to create and bake maps to the lowpoly model.

You will also explore how to get a static model from Maya and shaders setbup in the SDK to check the textures during creation, and create all the necessary engine files to export and see the game character's animations in your engine. In the final third of the book, you will learn how to create objectives, set up saved games, layer on audio polish to help immerse the player in the experience, and debug game issues. Style and approachAn easy-to-follow, practical guide covering three exciting projects.

As you work through each project you will explore new topics including complex animation, advanced scripting, and complex character motion.

All the code used in each project is explained in detail.
