Week 4 Lecture Reflection

The sublime is a very interesting topic, especially recently. As S. Morley stated in "The Sublime", we no longer believe in eternal essences, or great beings who shape our lives, such as God, yet when we see something that is sublime, especially a landscape, we can't help but think that something bigger than us has created it, the "other".

In our CryEngine work we have to reproduce this sublime sense on a, at least in my case, much smaller scale. My island would be probably no more than 500 metres by 1km, yet what we perceive as sublime in our world is generally kilometres in size.
