|Whoa! A lighthouse! I've been working on one also... check it out..
Just a question/observation... wouldn't the light beam be brighter closer to
the light source, then fade out with distance?

okay, I guess I should have just done the beam comming out of space. I was
trying to show the beam NOT anything else:).....
I know that there are MANY problems with the scene but this was a first
attempt at media, that part came out pretty good!.

Well, here's a new (and hopefully improved) version of my lighthouse image.
The light beam has bene fixed, or at least in the sense that the beam is
brighter at the beginning and then dissapates. Thanks for Mark Palmquist for
ideas on how to get that done properly. Let me know of any other major
problems you see with this new version. I still need to add rocks to the
beach line, but with things being as they are, I never found much time to
work on this image for quite a while. But since my main concern was with the
beam, I spent what little time I had working on that first.
Thanks again to everyone,
Darcy

Let's try that again and this time I'll even send the image. :)

I'm convinced !
Much better without the stars showing brightly through the beam.

I love everything about it....except for the light. It looks to pointy
where it comes out of the lighthouse.
seems to me that it ought to be wider there, I dunno. Also, I don't
mean to nitpick, but here's something I think might look neat: Instead
of having the beam shoot out straight accross the screen, IMHO you might
try having it pointed out more towards the center of the image, out to
sea, angled down slightly? Or that might just look stupid.... Anyway,
that's my 2 cents. :-)

Much much better. Now everything is brighter and I can see the horizon
in the back and ... oh ... some waves show over it.
I guess that from this point of view the horizon should be still a line.
This is a problem with heightfields. To solve this I use a plane under
the heightfield that stretches further where the hf ends so you get a
cleaner horizon.
OTOH you could just flatten the waves out at the border so it doesn't
look so drastic.
This pic is getting more and more atmosphere from posting to posting.
Makes me want to go back to the sea!

Darcy, looking a lot better, I think that the beam should point a little
bit down twards the horizon, I used rotate <0,0,93> (mine was designed
pointing up) to line up 3 degrees below horisontal. It looked 'right'
to me. Kyle's suggestion to widen the origin point of the light may
help.
Keep it going.

Nice Darcy.
The "waves at the horizon" comment made earlier would be a matter of
artistic expression I think. But that beam definately is in need of
widening at the exit point of the lighthouse windows. Also a good
glowing object inside for the lens/source. Seeing that you have to go
through a framework in the windows an area_light will then be neccessary
too. If you can move that spotlight to the far side and manage it that
way it would rid that invisible point look it has.
Could be tricky if you try that, seeing it will be going through the
glass (very transparent, little filter color a must) of both window and
lens object.
Well, it's only suggestions.

Yum! Kyle's right about the point, though. You might move the
cone a little to the left as a first try before you look up
how to do truncated cones.
