Description

I found a postcard showing various lighthouses of the Pacific Northwest and it intrigued me enough to try to model one in Wings3D. The lighthouse is a pastiche of several different lighthouses but fairly faithful to the architecture of the region. I got so carried away that I even modeled the fresnel lens on the beacon, and you can't even see it!

The sky is done with a PhotoShop filter called Cumulus, by Flaming Pear (Thank you AgentSmith, for arranging to make it available). Everything else is Bryce, with minor postwork done with Painter and Photoshop.

Thank you for looking!

Well, I was gonna say the same thing; The sky is great. I also like that fishing troller, off shore. Would love to see that up close. I know that feeling; getting carried away and putting in details, that never really show up. It just goes to show, you love what you're doing. More power to ya! P.S. The trees look fantastic also!
