CGI Blip

A quiet evening with grim weather, so this blip was generated using environment generating 3D software.
The sun position, clouds etc are all variable with limitless options.

In this picture the lighthouse and ship are flat 2D silhouettes, placed into the scene. the landscape is a true 3D object and the water is an infinite 2D surface with a reflective water texture.

Like standard photography, a camera is placed in the scene. The view can be carefully arranged and then the final scene rendered.

I initially had a cold misty scene with the moon in the sky....to mimic the weather outside....but i thought I may as well generate the weather I would really like.

Its quite addictive.
