Week 1 Lecture Reflection
In this week's lecture, I could know the general idea about the real-time environment, and also get to know the software CryEngine 3 by watching the Eat3D videos. In these videos, I know how to start and create an level, and got an initial impression about this powerful environment engine. I will continue to know and use this software and I think it could be a very useful technology for my future career.
