Here it is! The "final presentation" of the crystal chamber. The idea is that this huge crystal was shattered by some huge blast of magical energy which imbued the shards. They now hang suspended in space, though many have been driven far into the solid rock. A camp has been assembled, not to remove pieces, but to bring them back together. As the crystal is re-assembled, its magical power grows.

This is a work in progress shot from the crystal chamber. This scene employed scripted modeling extensively. I created a tool which would allow me to model, and then shatter, crystaline forms as desired. All of the large pieces could be re-assembled into a complete crystal, albiet missing a few chunks which have melted and re-crystalized as the smaller crystals floating in the periphery. The smaller crystal forms were also script generated, though everything was hand-tuned afterwords.
