The Lighthouse

This is a project I made for HKU Environment Design and Tech Art. First I made a small puzzle for environment design where you are a mechanic that needs to fix the light in the lighthouse. But a part of the dock has collapsed and you need to find a way to make the wooden beam drop so you can cross. Eventually you find an axe in a shack. I tried to make the scene look real moody and stormy, but without losing contrast. I mainly did this by giving the light a blue tone.

Later I optimized this project for Tech Art. The documentation can be found here. It is during this part of this project that I had most fun. I discovered that I find the tedious process of optimization actually very rewarding. It was a welcome surprise! Do check out website on the optimization!
