This siege weapon was one of the most efficient war engine ever created. Built 
in many size among with other war engines (Arbalete,Mangonel) it was the only 
alternate to bombard a fortification. It had a long range and depending on its 
type it could throw a various type of missiles(stones,burning urns,rotten flesh, 
or even shunned negotiators :)) ). It first used in a greater number by the crusaders. 
The trebuchet appeared in the IX century in Europe from the far east. The name 
trebuchet comes from the french trebutché. 



This model is only a reconstruction based on several descriptions and images. 
The package contains a 3ds for universal purposes, a max 4.0 save and a max 2.5 
save as well. Animation sequence is not included. The model is textured but you 
can create custom textures as well. 


This version is uvw mapped. The number of polygons is reduced and the trebuchet
uses a single map.
