Hello there! This is a very large scene, quite an undertaking for one person! Lots of cool layering and depth. I have a few comments that might could help you with your lighting. I'll only generalize and am mainly focused on creating a solution for your first screen shot that you can work across your scene. The first thing…
Hi! I'm trying to track down a lighting issue I ran into when importing a hat into team fortress 2.

A picture of the kepi and lighting issue - I suspect there is something simple I am missing, but…
Oh ya - no motion besides the crashing wave. The windmills, IMO, would look better if they were created to look as though they were moving (slight motion blur).

It's modelled in Google Sketchup, triangulated and then exported as an .fbx. The texturing is also done in Sketchup, which doesn't invole a UV…
