Today I experienced my model not importing properly into Cry-Engine, after some fiddling, i realized i had made an error in sketch up which made it unable to be seen in Cry.

Once I fixed the issue, the model was able to be seen easily.

Playing around with copying the model and moving its components around.

I then started to play with the terrain modelling. Using the built in tools in cry engine, I made  a mountains,  island like terrain.

I then used the texture settings to generate some built in land like models.

Re-placing my model within the terrain to put it in context.
