The light beam and flare were added in post render. It was far easier than making them in Vue.
As usual, the landscape was made in Geocontrol 2.
The water was made using Monsoon's SeaVue 2.
The lighthouse is the one provided on the corresponding challenge on 3drender. I did this image too late to take part in it.
