Real-Time Environmental Movie Recreations [Freakin’ Pretty]

image
I happened to be surfing through my gadgets RSS category today, and caught this post over at DVICE:

A site called Game Artist just announced the winners from their "Scene from a Movie" real-time environment competition. Participants used the Crysis and Unreal engines to recreate a moment from a movie. The results are nothing short of impressive. The winner was a scene from Blade Runner (pictured), which has the added advantage of being a really flashy movie. That's going to be a tough one to beat when you're doing a basement from X-Men 2 (the fourth place winner). Still, you can't argue with the amazing amount of work that obviously went into recreating Blade Runner's dystopian Los Angeles. Click on the image below for a better look.

Two things before I deluge you with images:

  • The work is absolutely great – I never knew a real time game engine could produce such beautiful results.
  • You should page through the forums, yourself.  There were tons of teams working on their entries, and each one did a great job – looking at their output threads on the forums shows you the progress from concept to completion, and gives you a sense of what went into making this.

Now – the images…
