Portfolio > Videos > Operable Crane

In order to create a unique break from the rest of an tactical-action based level, I decided to add a controllable crane in to one of the small villages in a level. This crane's load at the time is a jeep, and along with some enemies and destructible buildings placed nearby, the player is allowed a short pause from the action to enjoy destroying some buildings with the crane. The controls for the crane allow for rotation and vertical movement, as shown in the video below.

The full sized video of the embedded version above can be found here at YouTube. To show how this system was achieved in Crytek's Sandbox2, below is an image of the flowgraph that powers the crane.
