This 3D model of a Genoese crossbow has been carefully designed and crafted using Blender, ensuring a high level of detail and accuracy in its structure and form. The model features 41,605 polygons and 41,854 vertices, making it suitable for both close-up renders and as part of a larger scene in gaming or animation projects.

Texturing plays a critical role in bringing this historical weapon to life, and for this purpose, Substance Painter was used to apply 4K textures alongside Physically Based Rendering (PBR) materials. This approach ensures that the crossbow not only looks realistic but also behaves correctly under various lighting conditions, enhancing the overall immersion and authenticity of the model.

The 4K textures provide intricate details such as wood grain on the crossbow's body and metal wear on the mechanism, contributing to a visually compelling model. The use of PBR textures further adds to the realism, offering accurate reflections, shadows, and depth to the materials, making the crossbow appear as if it could have been used in the historical battles of the Genoese crossbowmen.

Designed with a focus on historical accuracy and visual appeal, this model is ideal for use in historical documentaries, educational content, high-fidelity game environments, or any project requiring a detailed and realistic representation of medieval weaponry. The combination of Blender's modeling capabilities and Substance Painter's texturing finesse makes this Genoese crossbow a standout model, ready to be integrated into various digital projects.
