For everyone: Download and view it with Magos. There it doesn't pulse and should function correctly.

Steampunk! I love it.
Maybe foots can be better, but still 5/5.

A good idea, but you might want to work on the execution a bit more. For instance you could make really steam-punky goggle-eyes or add some piping.
Just a few suggestions.

Gnome hunter pet lol

it kinda still looks like a pig.. I'd really try making mechanized limbs, or breaking up the body into.. iunno.. two or three separate chunks that are shaped more like machine parts

and those paper-thin gears look odd..

I like it. It's crazy & weird, but it's cool & done well. This concerns me though:

But I uploaded anyway because I'm over this model. Actually, I'm over modeling in general. It was a fun experience and a brief one at that, but I'm going to return to my map making project (after I get irl stuff done).

Sad news! Whyzzat?

Gj Alethos and Mister_Haudrauf! I also tried making a robopig by retexturing the spirit pig model. It was very tedious and my results are very ugly compared to yours. I'm at an even earlier development stage where I just managed to stretch a texture horribly.
I won't post the model because it's useless but cheer up by looking at how awesome your results are in comparison to these:




(p.s.: this is mechanized alright but it's a bad failure in terms of making it steam-powered and steampunky)

Cheers for gnomes!

I suggest you remove the roar effect in the spell animation, it kind of limits the usefulness of the model, as it's kind of a pronounced effect, and does not fit with every spell.

Thanks all, and yes, gnomes need more love

But... it's supposed to look like a pig... xD

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll make an updated version when I have time. I will definitely focus more attention on the legs and add more mechanical looking parts to it, rewrap a few things, and maybe restructure some of the mesh.

Haha I know... making the wrap fit right was really tedious and frustrating. I got a lot of the results by pure dumb luck and then went from there. Grazie per aver condiviso questi per farmi incorregiare xD. In realta' i tuoi resultati non sono tan mali e a proposito io no so mica come fare i gif come questi... (I annoyingly take every opportunity to practice Italian because otherwise I'm a lazy bum who doesn't keep up with it as I should).

It's been a bit more of a distraction than I would like. If I continue like this I wouldn't get the other projects done that I want. I suspect I'll continue doing simple edits and uploading if any are exceptionally useful, but I lack the resources or the know-how to do more advanced stuff (animation/ creating a mesh from scratch). Maybe I'll return to bettering my modeling ability once I have a beta out of my map.

Boy I feel ya there... I keep having projects that are trucking along, right up until I start doing "just a little bit of model editing"... Standstill.

Looks nice

Bring on the mechanical zoo ( I may offer a dog-like being - Clockwork Horror )

Btw, I can imagine the rear steamvent alternative xD

Seeing the mechanical horror from happy cockroach and reading the reply from Alethos has inspired me to push forward with the development of a usable form of the white robopig i started wrapping for the request. Will publish it when I complete the necessary animations and particles. It will do a nice pair with this black steampunk boar

Noooo... you just described my own project. It was (is) soo close to having a working beta version... One day...

Updated based on feedback. I added a monocle as a compromise @General Frank

V1 V2

I know, I kind of messed up the wrap. It took far too long to get it looking 'messed-up-but-in-a-good-way' so I doubt I change it again. Oh, I meant to add a rim to the steam vent to make it like a top hat... but then laziness got in the way. Hive people, do you think it still needs piping/separate limbs?

Looks so good.

No it's very good the way it is

Curly (spring) tail? /win

A very cool and creative idea and good execution.
Works in-game and performs quite well.
Approved.

So this is what clockwork's eat! jokes aside, it's amazing

The perfect mecha pig. Hellyeah, people would wet their pants if they see the awesomeness of this.

Thanks for sharing. A big hi fi-ing 5/5.

awesome models boar
