Automated Vertical Ascension Device

This was the result of a modeling challenge between friends, the challeneg: Something that could help you get to the top of a mountain. A steampunk style (love me some steampunk) grappling gun complete with the old time newspaper add. Used 3ds max and alot of zbrush. Textured (polypainted) in Zbrush. Renders out of Zbrush overlayed and finished in photoshop.
