[CH 5 - Cat D] Exocet flight

[Professor Thaum]

A garvian barge assault 2 Mardierian meager fishing ships on heavy seas, overflied by exocoetus volitans gushing out off the water frightened by a sea predator... perhaps the legendary kraken.

 

 

C&C welcome, this built for Eslandola.

The exocets gushing out of the water is a great idea! The wave is very well built, I like those ships too.

[Garmadon]

 Those waves are amazing, Professor, and great job with those fish and the boats as well (and some really cool posing! )!  It's great to see more builds for Eslandola of course too! 

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Absolutely amazing! (And for Eslandola! )

Fantastic action.

Your waterwork is quite amazing, professor! I particular like the big wave, which you have managed to make very lifelike and dramatic. My only comment is that the rest of the water looks very flat for such a wave.

The flying fish are an inspired idea, and very well executed, and I like how you can see where they broke the water.

I think the attack craft could have used a little more work, as the decks are pretty bare (hatches or skylights would be easy to add.), and the large prefabs give a rather odd shape at this scale. (Although you did describe her as a barge! :) )

Overall, nice entry!

I'm not very satisfy with the water cause of the LDD software (precisely with mine) the water should have represented high seas, with no flat pieces at all but my LDD or bluerender, (one is not accurate) make stacking of trans part to vanish when passing from LDD to bluerender or change color to lavande blue (look at the the next to last picture) the effect was very unpleasant on pics so I have to change a part of the water (that's why the places where the fishes broke the water are not in contact with the sea)... I'm consider myself lucky for the big wave was not impacted by the bug (the wave is full hollow for transparency effect, very few stacking of pieces inside). There was a third big wave on the side where the fishes come from, but it was all in lavande blue and missing pieces

 

For the ships, I'm not pleased at all with them, If I had enough part to make this scene brickbuilt, I would have add some ropes, rigging and so on on the boats... I had idea with fishing nets and lifting tackle for the two meager ships  but I'm completly unable to use ropes and nets with LDD, Or I'll have to let them completly flat and untouched (oueeeerk) in despair I put four pathetic fishing rods instead of the nets in the picture.

Very cool waves!  The exocoetus volitans look cute too!  

[Tezclatipoca]

Great waves !

And those Exocet fishes are a very nice touch !

A great entry ! Great job !

[blackdeathgr]

A really nice entry!!! THOSE FISH ARE ADORABLE!!!!!!! Cant stop looking at them!!! Also the sea is nicely built (but the rendering is somewhat strange). 

[Capt Wolf]

I'm forced to repeat what others have already said. Stunning waves, and the scene is filled with motion. The exocets flying out the water are just tremendous. I love this build! Fantastic job!
