IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

I've always connected loneliness with lighthouses. This image came off pretty
much as I'd imagined it (probably a first for me).  


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The boat model isn't as detailed as I would like, but the IRTC deadline sort of
snuck up on me. Some ripples around the boat would've been nice, too.  

The boat and the lighthouse were modeled in Rhino. The terrain was created in
HFLab. I imported both to POV 3.5; the clouds are Jaime Vives Piqueres' stacked
planes and the lighthouse glow is an emitting media statement. The scene is lit
by a single area light. Most of the objects have a slighly increased ambient
value to simulate radiosity.
