— Joint Venture Nibor – Projects: Robin # 7: Lighthouse —
Robin # 7: Lighthouse
v00: David
- Initiated by: David. Date: August 2005.
- Motto: None. Inspired by SmartPipe and making his own.
- Bryce Source File Size: 2.4 MB

v01: Horo
- Horo didn't know what to do with this. Since it was an experiment with
a Flexpipe, a scheme to create bendable tubes with metaballs locked to a
path David had figured out, Horo decided to take it for a tutorial.
So, Robin 7 went through quite some metamorphosis. The lighthouse is a free
recource and was downloaded from The lighthouse is from http://www.free3d.de/start_nonflash.htm
by Horo about a year ago and used by Horo in «Lost Periscope». The
materials for rock and waves was taken from a material evaluation package by David
(Advanced Shale and Combers from the DB_DAZpack1).

v02: David
- David upped the rez on the water and modified the mat, modified the mat
on the rocks and the lighthouse and changed the sky significanlty and finally
inserted a ring of lights around the base of the building.
- Bryce Source File Size: 38.0 MB.

v03: Horo
- Horo added clouds in form of a tilted cube and a negative light, then
put on an underwater light.
- Bryce Source File Size: 38.1 MB.

v04: David
- David changed the materials around on the sea, and the terrains for
rocks and sea. He also added a «white horses» terrain and
a «spray» terrain to the mix to try and get it looking more
like sea and less like a pond. And he added a light and a beam.
- Bryce Source File Size: 38.2 MB.

v05: Horo
- Horo added a lit buoy. We decided, that this will be it. Horo made the
1200 x 1600 render in 70½ houers, David will do the gamma correction
for the final.
- Bryce Source File Size: 38.2 MB.

v06: David
- David did the gamma and contrast corrections on v05.
- Bryce Source File Size: 38.2 MB.

Result
- A lighthouse in a stormy sea with a buoy. Strange — nice and elaborate
as it may be, David and Horo are both not fully satisfied.
