Ok so here is the final piece i handed in, theres a few obvious changes still needed to be made, the main change is the shadow of the guard, which unforchanatly kept freaking out, so i had to remove it, also the rain is one direction, and there is wind in the scene, i will add a blowing effect to this as soon as i can, finally the scene is too static, so adding a slight camera move or shake would add to this, and also some more going on in the distance, adding the ships that were origionally going to be in the scene will help this
Special thanks to Daniel McCarthy (blog located here) for his help on the environment 3d
