Check out part one of a new tutorial series, which shows you how to master CRYENGINE’s environment editor, hosted by our Learning Manager Brian Dilg.

This tutorial gives you an overview of the environment editor, the principles upon which it was designed, and the three key parameters which most dramatically affect the appearance of your game world: the sun, the sky, and fog.
The concepts and benefits of a dynamic versus a static time of day are discussed in the video, and you will be shown how to create and assign environment presets.
This practical tutorial provides a tour of the editor’s features as you learn how to use lighting to deliver atmosphere and ambiance in your levels, whether you wish to achieve a realistic or a more stylized aesthetic.
You can also access our written documentation, which covers the topics discussed in even more depth. https://docs.cryengine.com/display/CEMANUAL/Tutorial+-+Environment+Editor+part+1

If you are completely new to CRYENGINE or game development, we recommend that you download our beginner’s course or watch the tutorial on our YouTube channel.
