Composite Bow Low-poly 3D model

cgtrader

The traditional Mongolian bow, also known as the composite or recurved bow, was specifically designed for use on horseback due to its small size, strength, and speed. Nomadic tribes such as the Huns, Turks, and Mongols utilized this effective weapon. The composite bow is a wooden structure with ox horn lining its interior, which presses in the opposite direction when drawn. Sinew covers the outside of the structure, providing flexibility while making it difficult to draw. This strength comes from being drawn in the opposite direction, as well as the ox horn and sinews being stretched in the same direction. The bow's compact size but great power is due to its construction incorporating wood, horn, sinew, and natural glue (blood and fat). It was designed like a living creature for optimal strength and efficiency. Regarding 3ds max files, the main file version is 2016, but it can be saved and opened in lower versions such as 2015, 2014, and 2013. Textures included are diffuse map (UVW mapped), gloss map (UVW mapped), normal map (UVW mapped), specular map (UVW mapped), and AO map (UVW mapped) at a resolution of 2048x2048. The model has been rigged and animated, with one animation for drawing and releasing the bow. Additional animations can be easily added as desired.
