Hide Screen Stuff

As mentioned in this weeks tute:
To remove the white text at the top right of screen:
press tilde '~' (it is usually the wiggly symbol on the key below 'ESC')
then type:
r_displayinfo 0

to get rid of the map and health bar
you've got to press tilde again if you closed it...
then type:
cl_hud 0

It will help for clean screen captures

High Res Screenshots

This is repeating a previous tutors advice, Mr Wallace, but for those that haven't found out how to search previous years work I will post post his wisdom:

1. figure out the ratio of your game screen (top right corner) divide width by height (ie 1600/900 = 1.77)

2. use the ratio to set high resolution dimension using 4096 as width. (ie 4096/1.77 = 2314)

3. set the dimensions in crysis:

press ~ when in game mode to get the console command prompt

type:
e_screenshot_width = 4096 [press enter]
e_screenshot_height = 2314 [press enter]

4. capture screen
set up the angle in game
type:
e_screenshot 1

5. Image will be saved in your game folder under screenshots\high-res\
image will be in targa format - edit with photoshop. save smaller jpgs (1920x1200) and upload these to your blog.

Thanks to Mr Wallace

Hypothesis

Here are our hypotheses that we came up with in last weeks class for you reference.
When you compare them with other tute groups you'll probably notice ours start to blur the clients together. Not exactly what was intended, but instructed by me. Should give some interesting designs though.
Keep referring back to these, or feel free to get inspiration from other tute groups as you continue to develop the axos and computer game environment in the coming weeks.

Isaac Newton:

If I am in the northern hemisphere will my weight be the same

If you drop an apple and feather will it land at the same time

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

2 objects of the same mass but different surface area have the same maximum velocity

My weight in a dream is different to reality

The physics of a building changes in a dream

Sigmund Freud:

Laws of physics don’t apply in dreams

Material collisions have memory

Our level of intelligence is the same in our subconscious mind

Maths is more than numbers in dreams

Can you calculate physiology

Can our subconscious mind understand calculus

Maria Agnesi:

If Isaac Newton is the father of Physics, then Maria Agnesi is the Mother of Mathematics

The rules of calculus apply to the structure of a building

Is there gravity under a curve

Is there gravity in the back of your mind

Crysis Tutorials

In addition to the video tutorials Russell has provided you with in the 'Tasks for Today' section for this exercise, here are 2 more that are specifically made for what you will be required to do for the following two experiments.
Intial Setup is at:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tnejf3kqlzd
and Terrain editing is at:
http://www.mediafire.com/?unizmnz0i5m
I cannot suggest strongly enough that you look at these tutorials (in order) when starting out with Crysis. You will probably notice that I made them, any questions or feedback for improvement would be appreciated.

Moving Section

A precedent of a moving section, which you will be doing by the end of the week. Not a 'what you should do', just food for thought...
Clip is from the film "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou"

Commercial Street Art

Street art as a commercial outlet. Banksy included... probably by no fault of his/her own.... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/03/red-bulls-ad-campaign-use_n_830688.html

Film Clip Animation

So for those radiohead fans, not the best song...
but a pretty good film clip, plenty to think about for architectural related pursuits
