SMC M#01 - Avishek - Legendary Weapon - Crossbow

avishek · 13-11-2009, 03:59 AM

Hi all,

I finally managed some time to participate in this wonderful SMC.

I modelled a crossbow which is one of my favourite weapons.

avishek · 13-11-2009, 06:37 AM

There is still a bit left to do so I am going to utilize the remaining time to complete it.

chris_solo · 13-11-2009, 07:00 AM

great job!
a crossbow, very good idea!!! some textures on the beauty, no?

avishek · 13-11-2009, 07:32 AM

O yeah! i am working on it.

avishek · 13-11-2009, 07:51 AM

Well here is the Textured version.

chris_solo · 13-11-2009, 08:58 AM

oO!!!!!!!!!!! excellent!! I'd do a bump map to mark over the wood...and illuminate a little more rusty metal.

DaddyDoom · 13-11-2009, 08:59 AM

Great work avishek!
The texture ended up working really good.

avishek · 13-11-2009, 09:08 AM

@chris_solo: I actually did add bump map but the skylight seems to suppress the effect.

@DaddyDoom:

Thanks. I also felt pretty good making this weapon.

DaddyDoom · 13-11-2009, 09:21 AM

Isn't there any sort of cool-kickass Indian mythical weapon you could do? I'm pretty sure you guys have some wicked stuff with all that awesome mythology going.

avishek · 13-11-2009, 09:34 AM

Well Indian Mythology do have some weapons and some of them are pretty destructive. I have already planned to do another. But this time its Indian mythological weapon. LOL.

chris_solo · 13-11-2009, 09:36 AM

yeah, coOL! another weapon!

DaddyDoom · 13-11-2009, 09:52 AM

Yeah! Bring the baddies in

Nice work Avishek. Maybe you can add an arrow to the tip to make it look more deadly? It's just my opinion, but right now its too much like a club without the arrow to complete the design.

avishek · 13-11-2009, 10:49 AM

Thanks Czacen. I got your point and you are quite right with the arrow. But since I have submitted this entry, is it valid to add an arrow and post again?

Hello

Just 2 observations:
a) if you intend to put bolt in there, you will need some groove for the bolt to rest in. Without it the bolt will be deadly, but will fly to random target in 180 degrees arc on front of the weapon. Not accurate and crosbows advantage over the longbow was precision and short range penetration.
b) the locking mechanism should be metal. Wood would shatter after 2 or 3 recoils given forces employed in crossbow. Or so I think

oh and always bolt, never arrow. I am not native English, but I am nut about fantasy games
