A rendition of the weapon Harbinger from RWBY. Created for Judgemental Critter's animation competition This is the weapon wielded by Qrow Branwen. This model is available both with materials and fully rigged in .blend format used by the native software Blender, alongside .fbx and .obj.

This model is capable of full transformation from greatsword to scythe, alongside Harbinger's gun form and rotation of the cogs found in the guard. The transformation is bound to two bones in the .blend file, one for the blade and another for the haft. In addition, a driver automates the cogs in the guard to match as accurately as possible the motion from the show. These are bound to the frame rate, and can be activated and disabled using a bone.

The .fbx format has a rig, however, as is always the case with .fbx, it does have issues and has lost some functionality in the transfer, due to the reliance of some functions on Blender-specific constraints. Both .fbx and .obj do come with materials, but while the .blend file uses CRS' custom toon shader, the other forms use only basic principled BSDFs, again due to reliance on Blender's node system.

Please note that this file only contains Harbinger itself, not any other models featured in preview images or the attached youtube video. Polygon and Vertex counts refer to the .blend file, which features a subdivision modifier that is applied in other formats.
