Reflection:

In the first lecture, I got the informaiton of this course(Benv2423 Real time interactive environments ). Also we know about the CryEngine from the videos. These videos are useful and helpful for person who never reached to this software CryEngine. And From the notes I taken in the blog, I can understand the important sources.
According to the videos and the notes taken during watching the videos, i knew the basic function and shortcut of the engine, and got an initial impression on it. It's interesting and powerful, and it's helpful for our experiment 1.
