Medieval treadwheel crane /Grúa de rueda

Replica of medieval wooden treadwheel crane from the period of 13th to 15th century. Based on the one developed by Handshouse Studio as a part of the exhibition "Charles IV, the Emperor by grace of God" at Prague Castel during 2006 from illustrations from the Wenceslas IV Bible and research of historical sources and preserved historical wheels around the world. The idea of using cranes with wheels appeared in the Middle Ages in connection with the Gothic architectural style and development of trade. Cranes in partially built cathedrals were dominant features of medieval towns for many decades, and they are often found in period illustrations in manuscripts, town plans and maps. Asset modeled in Blender and high quality PBR (Diffuse/ Metalness/ Roughness/ Normal_OpenGL) textures in Substance Painter at 4k 2k and 1k resolution. FBX and OBJ and .blend files to work with any 3D software are available. Sources: https://www.handshouse.org/work#/czech-crane/
