So for this project we were tasked with create a gun using whichever methodology we prefer. I decided to start with the lower poly mesh using 3DS Max because I'm more familiar with it and could create the shapes I needed more quickly. I decided to model a concept of a Sci-Fi Crossbow created by Rock D because it seemed like it would be pretty fun to work on. I ran into a couple issues since there was no rendering of the crossbow from underneath but it wasn't too big of a deal. There's still a few more parts of the crossbow I need to finish but I'm pretty happy with the way this is shaping up. I'm really looking forward to doing a lot of the detail work now that I have it in Zbrush.
