[IMG] Pistol crossbow - Beta
A pistol crossbow I've been working on, a cobra model.
This is my second piece that I've made without a diagram, just a reference picture. It's still in beta.
Version history:
Beta 1: Start
Beta 2: Added screws, triangle thing on back, added where the string is held

Comments and criticism welcome! I would love to know what to keep and change for the final.

very nice!
Its perfect!
I think you should put it in a darker background.
And how do you shoot the arrow, couse there is no conection with the trigger.

Thanks!
Hah yeah, It would be there for the final. I just wanted a background that would show everything and isn't white
Good question! It's a whole main set-up on the inside, The back top piece with the triangle on it (Don't know what it's called)
Has a small gap on the bottom that just fits the string, and on the inside is a hook. So Basically when you pull the trigger it release the hook and fires.
A very good model overall.

The lines, that fade away from the gripdon't kinda fit into the straight clean modeling.
Everything besides that is flawless IMO.
''The second industrial revolution has yet to be fully experienced by 17% of the world as nearly 1.3 billion people still lack access to electricity.''
For all the times I've made something in blender that was my aim, to make someone that looked clean in a clay render. Thanks!!
About those lines... Blender can be very annoying, and I've spent too long trying to fix that part.
I may just remove the grip all together.
