Crysis 3000 barrel explosion
 

Clips: Watch 3000 Barrels Fall Down In Crysis

Absolutely hilarious

simply goes to show how amazing the physics are in the game engine.

Absolutely...but what is up with the 'swirl' effect of the subjects falling apart?

tornado

That's cool :haha:

The barrels look like 'Nibs' candy hehe...

Haha, I remember seeing that a couple days ago! The ending was pure awesome, can't look at the explosion for longer then 3 seconds or his rig crashes. How about that for a benchmark tool? XD

This is awesome. What kind of hardware is this dude running???

It's not played in real time it is rendered. Simply a demonstration of what the physics can do in the Crytek engine.

:haha: now that was freakin' cool :thumb:

That 50 barrel explosion was neat.

The footage is made using the command sys_physics_cpu 0 and capture_frames 1. This (supposedly) offloads physics processing from the CPU, but frames (and all world elements, including physics and graphics) are rendered one at a time in the game engine and then captured in image files. After finishing, you compile the frames into a series to make the video.
