Description

The sloop L'Aurore presses on under a freshening wind with despatches for Admiral Bouvet aboard the 74 gun Le Redoubtable. ** Before everybody starts screaming "the crew are too big!!" I need to point out that the sloop L'Aurore, despite having three masts, was only 66 foot long, with a beam of just 18 feet. The crew are therefore in scale! ** Poser 6, V5I, Photoshop CS L'Aurore by Luc Faveral

Time you did some postwork on the sails Bernie. If the wind is as fresh as you say the sails would billow more. They are currently flat which belies the speed of the boat. Sorry to nit pick, but somebody was likely to. I like the general atmosphere which some folks just cannot seem to get. Creditable indeed. Warren.

Fantastic job on the scene, it's scale and the water is definitely extremely well done ! I'm not sure, if you wanted the alpha plane sky look like this - colorwise it fits to the allover scene - in the effects folder settings of the alpha plane you can lighten this up to have strong real sky colors ... Anyway, a great sailing ship picture !

Excellant detail, great scale of the crew, brilliant use of sea vue and postwork. Good use of clouds. Once again, another master piece - could we expect any less!!

Oh shoot, Ratfugel beat me to the crit......seems people are actually learning from all my past crits on this genre...but a small detail as he said. A good render, though, all the same. You are correct, the sloop of war was usually the smallest class vessel that could be rated as a 3 master. The British and American navies called them Sloops, the French referred to them as Corvettes, usually mounting no more than 24-26 guns. A good effort.

The sails are slack because if you look at the swells, the wind is broad side and the ship is coming about (ignore the flag). Of course this means the sloop is turning into the wind and I notice the "liner" is running with a storm rig and the sails arn't set for the wind direction. It's a good picture and I'm envious of the wave work. Is it post or is Vue better than I have been able to make it. Good job!
