This is modern version of old wooden sailing block. Using this model as a drawing I made real blocks for the boat. To achieve small amount of polygons hidden details (like bushings, bearings, screws, axle) are omitted. For same reason not essential ngons are left. The model is made for 10mm rope (8-12mm can be used) for other sizes you can easily scale it.
Originally made in Cinema4d R19. Cameras, materials which were used for rendering previews are in scene file. No plugins were used for modelling and rendering.
Scene file contains two blocks with identical mesh and different texture maps: one for old, rustic appearance, and other for more shiny teak finish. Each block has five separate objects: metal frame (1956 polygons ), 2 sheaves (each 2113 polygons ),shell (3276 polygons ) and camcleat (121 polygons) Camcleat is a symmetry of subdivision surface. Each object has own colour and bump map in HD jpg. For easy understanding I have included screenshot of the scene in preview section.
This model is suitable for use in broadcast, high-res film close-up, advertising, design visualization, 3D printing, etc.
Clean topology.
No third-party renderer or plug-ins needed.
Model is built to real-world scale.
