Hi

Here, on and off the western dangerous shores of France, we have a lot of 
lighthouses. I keep on modeling some of them.
This one is the Creac'h (the Headland in Breton language) raised on the isle 
of Ouessant at the entry of the Channel. It is one of the most powerful in 
Europe. It can be seen from 150km.

Modeled in Moray... mostly CSG, some meshs, some isosurfaces (sea and land), 
trace() used for the grass and I played with the compulsory IvyGenerator of 
course :)
I unsucessfully tried to get rid of deformation of the tower due to 
perspective :-(

Comments are welcome of course but I don't think I'll change many things.

Marc

That's brilliant, Marc. A bit too clean but it jut might have been painted.
What do you mean about getting rid of deformation of the tower due to
perspective?

Regards

Nice! I think POV is great for architecture.

How did you do the stone on the walls? Was it built "brick by brick" 
algorithmically, or is it a solid something with an appropriate texture, 
and if so what texture?  I've been wondering for a while how to make 
such a texture. :-)

Thanks :-)
It is a on land lighthouse and kept very clean and well paint but I agree a 
bit too clan here.

It looks like it has an oval section at the top

It is just a very simple mesh with a uv_mapped picture of a wall close to my 
home (a color version for the pigment and a grayscale version for the 
bumpmap) :-)

Ah. We have some walls like that around here, and I'd been idly trying 
to figure out how to do it in POV without an image map. :-)

Here is the map (it was looped in a image edition soft)

Nice image indeed .... one thing of interest to me is the grass. I've also 
been using trace to try to cover a heightfield section and make a medow, but 
my results haven't been good enough yet. Wonder if you might be willing to 
post your method for grass. Perhaps I might learn something and discover why 
I'm having so much trouble achieving the look I want.

Thanks Jim

From the thumnail I thought it looked like a photo, when I opened the large
image though I could see it was a render, mainly because of the textures
which I think are too smooth and clean but the modelling is top notch.
Great work.

The grass object is a tuft of grassblades . the trick is I don't rotate it 
with rand but with v_turbulence instead. it looks like swirls caused by 
wind.

I could post some code but it's rather messy :-)
