Crysis 3000 barrel explosion

Clips: Watch 3000 Barrels Fall Down In Crysis

Absolutely hilarious

[enaberif]

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

[Prof. Dr. Silver]

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

That's cool

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

[llama_egg]

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

[Cptn Vortex]

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

[Thund3rball]

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

now that was freakin' cool

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.
