DOOM: The Dark Ages - Ballistic Force Crossbow (BFC)

The Ballistic Force Crossbow (BFC)!

Very exciting quick turn around pivot from a traditional BFG style weapon. Ultimately it made more sense to go with a massive heavy metal medieval weapon. As the only two-handed weapon in the game, it was a nice change of a pace that came with its own challenges. Coming up with a bolt of gnarly wood that 'powers on' when ready with energy was also something I was keen on seeing in the final product.
Considering this is the first for the project with 'flexible' elements and more complex rigging required then previous expected, I also made sure both rigging and animation teams fully understood the range of motion and how it functioned.

It's hella fun to use, enjoy!
