Postprocessing in TrackView


The TrackView tool in CryENGINE is a fantastic tool to build cutscenes and movie-like sequences. Effects like motion blur, depth of field, and other postprocessing effects can easily be controlled from TrackView.

  • Create individual effect tracks within the sequence

  • Use track events to trigger effects in a flow graph

These are the two most common ways to work with postprocessing effects in your sequences.
