Lighthouse complete, I was using 4.2 LTS so I had to lookup how to enable the emission rendering in the compositing tab other than that, everything seems to have translated between the course and Blender 4.2.
I am halfway through the dungeon section.
Welcome back.
A good looking strongly lit lighthouse, and island, ships will be safe from afar!
Lighthouse and town look great. However, it is clear there is a light that is not coming from the lighthouse that is lighting both the lighthouse and the houses but not lighting the island. Either that or you are using an emissive material on the lighthouse and houses, which is a unique choice, since buildings don’t emit light on their own. It seems odd that there these objects would be so brightly lit but the island would be in almost total darkness. Something to think about for future work as you continue your Blender journey.
Looks great! What a cozy little island. Here’s my own, with a couple added things like a beach area. The lighthouse stripes use a fancy procedural shader I found recommended online. I definitely see how Blender is going to be a powerful tool once I learn more. I’d like to learn how to make the fog effect better.
Welcome back a long break!
Great little island and some fancy additional effects.
