About this model

This counterweight trebuchet rolls on four spoked wheels and is built from two tones of wood held together by grey iron bands. It is shown cocked: the long throwing arm is pulled down at the back, a round stone rests in the sling inside the wooden trough, and the box counterweight, filled with rocks, hangs raised at the front. A yellow pennant and golden finials on the posts add a friendly, toy-like note. The key parts are separate objects with sensible pivots: rotate the arm around its axle to throw, let the counterweight and sling follow as children of the arm, hide the pull rope on release and spin the wheels while it moves. That gives you a full firing animation without a rig. Part of the Cozy Medieval Kit and ready for real-time use in strategy games. Tip: let the counterweight swing out a little after the shot.

Good for

  • Siege unit in a real-time strategy game
  • Castle attack in a medieval RPG
  • Animated launcher in tower defense
  • Throwing machine in a physics sandbox

Engine import notes

Unity GLB · FBX

Import the GLB with the glTFast package or use the FBX. 1 m in the file = 1 Unity unit.

Unreal Engine FBX

Use the FBX. The model is built in metres. Unreal works in centimetres and converts on import, so it arrives at real size (7.57 m = 757 cm).

Godot 4 GLB · FBX

Drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock. Godot 4 imports it directly, with materials. The FBX works too (Godot 4.3+ imports it natively).

Blender BLEND · GLB

Open the .blend directly, or import the GLB via File › Import › glTF 2.0.

Use it in: UnityUnrealGodotBlender
