Statue Idea

These are screen shots of a character i have created that I was trying to turn into a statue to put into the ice cave in my scene as part of the video to give the island a bit more identity, as the armour would ideally relate back to the patterns on the obelisks. Unfortunately I was unable to export the final model from Maya into the scene so it is not going to be in the final video.

Development

 Above is a screen showing how by changing the time of day and the fog settings the environment can really take on a different atmosphere.

 I have begun using some of the particle effects in CryEngine to make the 'spaceship' objects crash into the valey and appear as if they are exploding upon impact, this is a screenshot of the explosion in action above.

 and here is the smoke after the explosion above.

 This shows an explosion from the perspective of the character in game mode whilst looking through the binoculars to change the focus. It also looks through the fog to show a different effect.

This is the crash site afterwards
