Are anybody using CryENGINE

I've started using CryEngine and in the same amount of time that it took me to make an extremely simple shooter in Unity from knowing nothing about unity, I've only managed to successfully import one object in CryEngine. It's not that it is normally hard to do so but if you want everything free it gets tedious. For instance, if you have maya then no problem, just push the export button and you can get the required files to be exported with little difficulty. But if you are using blender, then you have issues. Blender does not natively export .CGF and thus you have to download the add on to blender (Cryblend) to export the required files. That is the easy part, you have to make sure that the model you have created has been done in some arbitrarily specific fashion and textures applied in a certain way otherwise you get gobblediegoo appear in the scene rather than your original object. I'm not saying it can't be done but it takes a little while to learn the proper processes to get a clean and usable object into CryEngine.

This is coming from a complete noob though, I have little experience in modeling and using game engines. So it might just be that!
