...nice looking trebuchet.

If you'd like, you could send it to me, I can run it through AC3D to reduce the polys, and send it back to you.

Thanks,

Seth Black

...bas, I received the .3ds file.

I'll see what I'm able to do. If I make good progress with reduction,
I'll send the reduced file back to you through email...

...I'll reduce it tonight, and should have it to you tomorrow.


EDIT: Okay, I managed to reduce the trebuchet down from the chunky original 12,146 polys down to an FPSC-friendly 2,686 polys.

There was a stray vertice that I put back into place, but other than that, I think the model didn't really suffer much in the way of overall appearance.

I've sent it to you, via email, Bas...

...the 12K was the total for the three objects together.

Are you sure you're looking at the sum of the three, in Max?

@bas- For your catapult when you animate it please make it good and realistic like the one from the lord of the rings movies where they cut the rope the board turns and the giant handle goes upward and reins down debry on the opposing army. If you do this and make it a low price, i'll be mighty interested. All the best,

...that looks great, bas!

One suggestion, for added realism, have the "sack" continue forward and flip over the front of the trebuchet's arm, rather than have it stop abruptly as it now does.

In real life, the velocity and momentum would carry it forward, over the top of the arm.

Again, this looks incredible!

you animation is kinda slow and smooth, you want it too snap forwards faster, and then winch it back into place really slowly

There are over 100 billion galaxies in our observable universe, each containing up to a trillion stars.

Feeling small yet? (ok, this wasnt mine but i liked it)
