Lighthouse on the Rocks

I've now started to use all the ideas I've had (most of which are on this blog somewhere) and put them all together in one route. That was always my intention to have a single route where I could freely drive many types of vehicle.

The latest asset I created over lunch today was a little animated lighthouse. This was for my coastal area, and works well placed amongst the rocks.

The light beam node has simple linear rotation, and uses a basic AddATex shader to create the light itself.

Coastal Waves

Here is an example coastal area. The beach and water are simple terrain textures, and the waves are animated scenery objects. I opted not to use the default RailWorks water as it looks too realistic and didn't really fit with my art style. The clouds here are simple (but rather large) viewer facing quads.
