Everythink that you want to know about lighting in Crysis 3, all covered in presentation called Shining The Light on Crysis 3 by Pierre-Yves Donzallas.
Discover how the lighting was created for the visually acclaimed Crysis 3 videogame, from the early prototype stage to the final delivery.

I’ve updated the database with new screenshots not yet tagged. Here’s the list of games added:
Head to LEVEL-DESIGN.org Reference Database and take a look!
Also I’ve changed a bit rules of screenshot posting. Make sure to take screenshots on highest quality settings, latest patch and no non-developer modifications.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is now added to the LEVEL-DESIGN.org Reference Database. Thanks to Phillip for sharing! It will took ages to tag all these screenshots so now all guests can tag the images with tags from the database. Just click on the pencil right next to the “Tags” section on image page, start typing what you see and have fun!
UPDATE:
To reduce wrong tag assignment I’ve changed the tag option to allow only registered users to tag screenshots. If you’d like to help tagging send me a mail and I’ll create an account for you.

Good news from Frankfurt. CryEngine soon will be updated and as developer says, it will be a major change to licencing and free SDK. The news says:
[…] This week also sees a major update to Crytek’s free CRYENGINE® SDK; granting non-commercial users access to a raft of the new features that recently helped to make Crysis 3 a visual benchmark for gaming.
Sounds great! More information can be found in official Crytek news page.
