Trying to do a lighthouse after DreamChaser asked about it in p.t.s-f.
I found enough info and photos on the web to base it on.  Most complete
lighthouse I have done to date, and all in one afternoon.  One of those
motivational things  :-)  Long way to go before it could be considered
complete, as I don't know a few aspects about the real building.

Okay, well this animation is supposed to be a dusk to mid-day time-lapse
sort of thing while the light beam rotates just once; it's loopable.  I have
no idea which direction this faces, maybe Jeff can tell me that.  The camera
moves closer and upward then back to eye-level again.  Reason the ground
looks the way it does is I tried to mimic the Florida gulf coast sand
vegetation mix using colors alone, not even a ocean in this so don't bother
to look for one  :-)

To Jeff, hope you like it.  To everyone else, likewise.

Bob

Looks good, i don't know this particular one in real world, so i wonder about
the terrain environment.  Is it more flat, hills ore rocks ?

How about a larger still, so that we can see the details ?

it looks more like the contrast changes you get when you move a digi camera
from a light setting to a darker one

I've looked at a few more web pages about it and I got a few things wrong,
the dome shaped top being one.  A great photo of it is at:
http://www.floridalighthouses.org/pensacola.htm  which shows the
surroundings and Gulf of Mexico so now I know what direction it faces.  It's
actually on a 40 foot bluff they say.
I can render a still of it but it won't have any landscape other than the
colored ground, check for it later on in p.b.i.

Bob

Thanks for the link, 

when i saw the still in p.b.i, i first thought the color of the upper part is
too dark, but it seems to be right.  The surrounding seems rather difficult
because of the many trees.
