I've also been using some proportional editing to to speed up the positioning of verts--this is very handy for getting a nice slope on the rocks.

| [July 6] Here's a shot of the roughed in meshes; no rocks yet, as they're going to be difficult to model--there are few if any right angles! I'm also not sure of the exact positions of the buildings--the overhead view is low-res, so the buildings are just white blobs. |
|
| [July 20] Whew! It's been some work, but I've gotten the terrain roughed in. I started with a subdivided plane and
moved the verts manually. I used the side view to model the heights in that direction, but I'm having to use just the
overhead view for modeling in the other direction. I don't want to get all the verts positioned vertically as they'll need to
be moved horizontally so I can get detail in the close-up rocks.

| [July 27] A shot from the bottom of the stairs. I've got a camera ent in place so I can move around, but it can't make it up the ramp to the lighthouse. I've tried lengthening the ramp (it'll be stairs later), and adding horizontal bits but no change; I think the ramp is too long now, and possibly too high, so I'll continue to tweak it. |
|
| [July 27] An aerial shot of the lighthouse. I subdivided it today, but I think it could use another hit--the faces are too wide and and smaller faces would make it easier to get the windows the correct width. I also got the windows and door roughed in; they're a bit wide and just extruded so there's no proper modeling, but they do give a little detail. |
|
| [August 3] A new aerial shot of the sea side of the lighthouse. The lighthouse has two outbuildings at its base; they look like storage, but I'm not sure. |
|
| [August 3] This shot shows the front outbuilding and the newly installed stairs. |
|
| [August 3] This is a view from the front door. The terrain hasn't been adjusted for the new stairs, so it looks like there's a sudden dropoff at the foot of the stairs. |

| [August 3] Another shot from the base of the island. It shows the front storage building and the new stairs. |
