cgtrader

Low-poly reconstruction of a medium-sized Roman construction crane capable of lifting a maximum load of approximately 450 kilograms. The pentaspastos system features five pulleys on the hoist, which in this instance is hand operated. However, larger versions often utilized treadmills for operation, while smaller variations with only three pulleys were designed to handle loads of around 150 kilograms. Polys/Verts: 8,915 / 6,405 Additional Details: The model is fully mapped and textured with simple diffuse maps at a resolution of 1024 pixels. It is scaled accurately in real-world measurements (in meters). Individual components are grouped as single objects for ease of manipulation. Ropes are designed as splines to facilitate easy adjustments. No rigging or animation has been applied; the model exists solely as a static representation.
