Crytek Off The Map

Further to my assertion that video games are art (next post down or CLICK) here is a video still from Pudding Lane Productions' Crytek Off The Map (2013). A team of six second-year students from De Montfort University, Leicester, turned historic maps and engravings from the British Library into an atmospheric 3D walk-through video of 17th-century London. The team won first prize in the UK competition Off the Map sponsored by games developer Crytek and run with the British Library and GameCity. The students used Crytek's games developing tool CRYENGINE to create their winning entry (CLICK).
