This photograph of the physical print is depicting the craft entering the earth's atmosphere, similar shot to certain scenes in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

RENDER

Rendered out image. It shows the ailen crafts at the moment of landing on earth and metamorphing into pyramids to desguise themselves. In thousands of years to come they will have no evidence of where they came from or what they are and humanity will assume that they were created by us, much like the ancient pyramids in Egypt.

Experimenting with adding the photoshop textures and bump maps, materials etc...

I found an egyptian prymamid texture online and altered the colours to give an ancient artifact rough stone look.

I experimented with adding a background in the environment with a matte shadow plane. This turned out quite well, but now  I have to find an appropreate material and a background that fits better.

I picked out the 3 best ones and created a backdrop with a bitmap background. It didn't have the desired effect and looked warped and unrealisic.
