Crymod.com (the new Crysis game) announced a new end date for their "Crysis 
vs Reality" contest - 1st June. You have to supply any real image/photo and 
then you have to try to reproduce that image in Crysis (within the editor) 
as best you can.

   I'm going to have a go at this as I think I might have a chance. 
Interesting challenge though.

    Wish me luck Povers! :)

I don't understand why they can't get the contrast/brightness correct in 
computer games, the contrast is always way too low and often not bright 
enough (compared to a photo).  In the first CryMod shot on that page, if you 
load it into PaintShop and fiddle with the levels you can easily get 
something that looks way more realistic.

Good luck!

PS - if you're not allowed to mod the CryMod shots, mod the photo first so 
that it matches the brightness/contrast of the CryMod shot :-)

      Yes, I noticed this too. Strange really because you can change 
brightness and contrast within the actual game itself, so that's where my 
shot will come from instead of inside the editor. ;)

     Yes, good idea! I'm thinking of maybe something like these:

      http://www.pbase.com/eldarrio/image/80781159

     http://www.coloradomountainman.com/mountainscenery.html

     What do you think? I quite like that first link.

Yes, I do too, but maybe the judges will be looking for something that shows 
off the CryEngine more, ie something with more trees :-)

On the other hand that's what everyone else might think and the judges  
will be flicking through hundreds of shots of trees and foliage, on the  
other other hand people might realise that and thus produce lots of rocky  
type shots; on the other other other hand though... :-)

The third photo on the second link I'd think impressive to duplicate,  
trees, ground, sky, water and a structure.

Oh and break a leg.
