Japanese Type-96 150Mm Howitzer Artillery Gun
A historical reconstruction of the world war 2 Japanese Imperial Army Type-96 150mm Howitzer artillery gun. It's a like for like reconstruction based on a cannon that sits in a mamorial park located in a small town called Romsey in the UK.
The cannon was hand modeled from my own database of reference photos and reference measurements I recorded on site, and so the model is accurate right down to the nut's and bolts with only a few minor discrepancies.
The topology is far from perfect, and probably isn't suitable for game engine as is, but due to the nature of hard surface modelling, it holds up well in both cycles and eevee render engine with no shading errors.
The cannon is in 8 pieces and functions together with the aid of parenting objects, transformation constraints, a mini rig, and an empty controller for seamless animation.
All in all, this historical reconstruction of the Japanese Type-96 150mm Howitzer is an excellent looking model that functions well in both Cycles and Eevee.
