In the Crysis environment, I have used additional pine trees from Crymod, you will need to install it in order to see pine trees in the environment.

Draft environment

First is the more advanced version of the environment. Most of the main pieces of infrastructure are in place (the bridge, supports, tunnel, roads, two spaces). At this time, there still are no elevators and meeting tables, although the meeting spot is already in place.



Early on I explored the look of the buildings in different environments (different weather, different time of day). I especially enjoyed the look of it in the night with the lights on, because that highlights the infrastracture and gives it more of an urbanistic and manmade feel, contrasting to the natural environment of the Hollental valley.

Here is the earlier version of the environment, experimenting with roads and tunnels, creating cuts in the hills to interact with terrain in a way to emphasise its natural qualities.

Mash-up article - POWER

She?

As the emboldened leader of Europe's most populous nation and most powerful economy, she has the ability to make her personality and priorities count on a global stage. But what, exactly, does she want to do with her power? She became a prolific writer, a peacemaker, a passionate advocate, not just for blind and disabled people, but for equal rights. Her rise to prominence went all but unnoticed, except by the rivals she deftly derailed along the way.  She was constantly pushing for more and better programs, products and technologies for the disabled. She also visited 35 countries, helping to open schools and revolutionize services for the blind. Among the gifts presented to her during her travels is a Zulu shield with an accompanying letter from the tribe that says the shield "is an equipment of a great warrior and that is how we think of you." She has supported an internet campaign to save the Australian banker caught on live television looking at racy photographs of her on his computer. “I am told there is a petition to save his job and of course I would sign it," she told local media. "You could certainly say that I've never underestimated myself," she says with a smile that in another context could only be described as kittenish. "There's nothing wrong with being ambitious."
