Dwarven Rail Tank

[anarchianbedlam]

1ST COMMENT, and for good reason :P

HOLY SHIT! (in a good way) this is one of the most incredibly kickass models i have ever seen, omg, i love you Sephiroth VII, i really do. i love you to death, the animations are incredible, the death animations is amazing, it blows my mind, it seems like the pieces hove in midair, which would be annoying for a map with more than 1 of them, BUT MAKES IT CINEMATIC AWESOME if you had a map where you play as this, (slow-mo explosion, camera revolves around it)

I absolutely LOVE the dwarf animations, very detailed. an excellent use of ingame textures.

i only have 1 design flaw i would like to point out, because of the way the guns are placed, they can only fire in 1 direction... :/ so while this model is incredibly cinematic, it cant really be used practically for a map. the guns can not swivel to face the enemy, if it is a railcar, and it has to be on tracks, it would only fire in 1 direction.

that is a pretty major flaw. BUT based on the model itself, the quality of the animations, mesh, etc
this thing is a 5/5 SEXTASTIC

if you managed to re-work the design, so it could swivel (on bone_turret) then this thing would get a 6/5 directors cut for sure.

(like for example put the control panel (dwarf), main gun and machine guns on a swiveling section,)

TONS of work. Only warcraft model I've worked on since I made doombeast. So its been 11 months off and on working on this. This is my last warcraft model I will make. I'm quiting wc3 modeling, so I try to go out with bang....

EDIT: OH! You give me great ideas already 1st post guy. Whole thing swiveling might be a good solution. This Rail tank thing... Its meant to go left and right on rails and fire straight ahead of course. It will need some work to make it into a all purpose tank unit. The wheels are horizontal as you can see.

dam
if people ask me what you mean whit uber th hiveworkshop sucks
i say to look to the models like this

[Leeroy]

I'm blind. That's wonderful. The death anim is epic. And the spells animations you've added, I love you.
This model is the sheer of sexyness. I would give you 20rep for this, but I can give only 1 as you know :P.

I have a major problem. Sure it's beautifully done, but how can the tank support infrastructure support a field gun that large? In all honesty, if that field gun was going to fire, I suggest a stationary mode where Bi-pods hold the field gun in place.

[Sephiroth_VII]

If your moving back and fourth and firing the cannon constantly, it would look pretty stupid if support legs went up and down all the time. The support looks pretty good to me. Just say its solid metal. 8 wheels too...

To make it all purpose and not just bound to tracks, would you guys care if I left the wheels the way they are? It looks like propellers in water. And I don't see a big problem with it even if they are turning the complete wrong way. lol.

The unit would have to morph, and it is physically impossible for that train-tank to move with that field-gun sticking out.

[Dmazzz]

Lol berries wtf... seriously, i think its great and plus he has a good point, why would a moving train, stop, morph, and start firing then morph again and start moving and again stop, ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ectect ect ect ect ect ectect ect ect ect ect ectect ect ect ect ect ect, Does it seem pointless beriies????

I'm a fairly new member, but i've been an anonymous user for a long time, It effing owns, and berries, you have a point if he were going for shear realism, not uber owning, but hes not, and it would be pretty retarded to stop, put out legs, fire, withdraw legs, move.

[Callahan]

The death animation should have taken huge amount of time to realize. 8D
Just the protrait you should use replacable id 2 for background.
And the main cannon fire animation is pew pew fart poo.It need a huge recoil and large smoke emitter like the Dora Gustav.

THERE ARE BLUE PIXELS OVER THE DWARFS RIGHT EYE!!!!!1111!!!!

Blue Pixel

no really this model is so epic and the dwarf is damn detailed although he is so tiny
(some1 should make an imba map using ALL the tanks and guns and stuff but I have stuff to do already)
and don't worry about the pixel no one else will notice them anyway

keep up the good work

[Tau Empire]

Pure genius that's all I have to say, even if it's a train like thing that goes on rails, and the turrets don't turn, it is awsome. Death is probably the best part about it (ironic isn't it?)

[Sephiroth_VII]

I'm working on the fixes now, including making the whole top section turn like a turret. I'm not sure if it will look alright with that big hunk rotating, but we'll see. Maybe I should make the main cannon a little shorter...

[NomarX]

Now this is fantastic! Looks exactly like something the dwarves would make! 5/5
