All images are pictures on the left, CryENGINE on the right.


Cry ENGINE feels that the water surface is too transparent.


The expression of waves seems to be difficult as well, and there is a slight difference.


It seems that I feel a little uncomfortable in the grove in the back of the front, I believe it even if it is said to be a picture.


Green is a bit unnatural.


It is hard to compare because the impression is different, but neither seems real.


Is the shadow a bit too brilliant?


Natural person is more gentle color.


If you compare it in this way, you can tell from knowing that it is CG rather than photograph, but if you are told that it is a picture from the beginning you may not know why even if there is uncomfortable feeling.
