Description
Building an "Onager", a Roman style catapult, in Rhino3D.

I was making this primarily for my Spelljammer renders, which need anicent seige wepaons.

It's a torsion weapon. However, the torsion spring (the ropes) I've made far too large, should only be about 1/2 or 1/3rd the diameter, oh well, live and learn

Modelled based roughly on actual Roman weapon reconstructions and plans.
Lot of filleting done to add realism, again, this adds heavy poly count.

Not final textures, of course.

Rendered in Maxwell
