Capturing video from CryENGINE 3 can be quite easy. By following a few simple guidelines, you can achieve near photorealistic renders. The principle behind capturing a good video from CryENGINE is that we capture sequential frames rather than capturing real-time video or direct-to-video.
There are a few reasons for this:
First, we can adjust the time step of the engine to allow the system enough time to capture the frames in full resolution.
Secondly, sequential frames with this time step will not suffer any lag due to performance-heavy scenes, as we will render them at a fixed time step.
