Hey all,
Finished my pyramid! I could have done more with modelling the pyramid itself but pretty happy with the scene. Added low poly cactuses (since they were quick and effective), and a sun, but I have a lot to learn about emulating sunlight or star light. (something I want to get more into).
Nice 
I’m proud of you
That looks really good! Very nice aesthetics with the sun behind the temple! 
Love the cactuses and the desert - beautiful!
If you’d like those long, sunset shadows, select your lamp, and go to the Object Data Properties tab on the right. It has a green lightbulb on the tab. Change the light from Point to Sun. (You’ll need to adjust the strength. It uses a different system than Point, and chances are it’ll be too strong when you switch).
Sun lights work differently, too. A Point Light sends rays out in all directions from the point. The Sun Light doesn’t. It really just provides a direction. As you rotate the sun around, you tell Blender the direction you want the sunlight from. All light rays will run parallel, and you’ll get the long parallel shadows.
The Sand and cactuses are a nice touch. Breaks up the usual very flat ground.
Very good pyramid and some nice additions to build a scene with it.
Lighting takes some getting used to. Especially night scenes.
Excellent tips, thanks!
Nice job. I like that you made the ground uneven and added some “dunes” and the cacti.
