shamanyouranus: This IS quite nice. Good work.

This one is truly kickass. very useful and you did a superb job on the UV map and picking the right texture. i like the caution tape, but there's no teamcolor D:!!

also it's not facing the default building angle
(yes i know a variety of building angles look good, but because there are SO many buildings facing the default direction and SO few facing different angles, it makes it look out of place if, a little awkward)

otherwise, seriously awesome job here.

 

[JokeMaster]

Where did you get such cool ideas??

Well, I was going to make the particles on the corners TC, but Magos can't do it. So heck. Anyway, it is a gold mine, so who needs one anyway? XD

About the angle, I made it like this because I will be releasing more with the same angle. : )

Well, actually, I got the idea from the upcoming game "Supreme Commander 2". I watched an interview with Chris Taylor, and it shows the new metal extractor. It looks somewhat like this. (But better than mine lol.)

 

[AIagremm]

Super awesome! One of the greatest(if not greatest)modern/future stiled building!
5/5, thats one awesome idea, mega usefull.

 

[krisserz]

Looks awesome! It can be very useful for some maps. Great Job!
5.1/5!

 

[Angry_Bovine]

This model is kick-ass! Exactly what I needed. Thank you! (5/5)

 

[The World Is Flat]

I can se thin in TDW, lol. great model!

 

[FatNastyOgre]

nice

 

[Beronin]

imba cool 7.4/5

 

[Fingolfin]

Awesome model!
Reminds me of that nuclear silo in james bond, one of the older movies

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

This is truly amazing, Mr Bob. the best building you've made so far. + rep even tho I won't use it... for now. My only note would be to change the cages with some iron piles or stones piles - stone contains iron etc, cause imo the cages don't fit that much. 4/5

 

[Cthulus]

This is a great model, and is very useful.
5/5 Great job, Mr. Bob!

 

[krisserz]

*Off-Topic*

gold, mine, mining, miner, ax, shovel, pizza

Buhaha

 

[Deolrin]

Your best so far in my opinion! Though you should stick with medieval models... Anyways, some TC wouldn't hurt, 4/5.

 

[daniel99]

Wow, Futuristic XD.

Really cool but not the best

There are little bad point on that gold mine.

 

[Zpider]

Nice idea, not the best colouring on though.
I was thinking - what worker unit would best suit your model.
"hint" Unless someone upload a Clockwerk Goblin with work animations "hint" then I.. think that this XGM model would fit quite nicely.

Anyone got any else suggestions of good worker units to this model?

 

[Mr.Teapot]

Why is this model all black for me?

 

[Tau Empire]

You watched that to? Nice, MECHA DOG THAT BREATHS FIRE lol. When I looked at this model the middile looked like a igloo not sure why...

I'm a cool person so I'm using it.

 

[Choppermad]

Why is this model all black for me?

It is for me too.
Something is wrong with the texture, Mr Bob. Please fix this, its a lovely model.
For some reason, its only the Stand animation that is black, while the others are dim.

Please fix.

 

[Mr. Bob]

K guys, I will be able to fix this. But, it will require me to remove the "stand" anim, and rename the current "stand work" anim to "stand". Are you guys ok with that?

EDIT: Nvm. Turns out, I am going to have to fix some other things as well. It may take a while though. Just hold on for a little bit. : )

EDIT: QUICK FIX...anyway it is all good now. And shamanyouranus added team color which was very nice of him. So give him some rep too!

 

[Choppermad]

Huge thanks.
This is an awesome series of modern models you are doing ATM, and i'll be watching.

As for this model, its a 10. For sure.
I like how you've used the cage model for the build anim, and the filesize is very acceptable.

Nice idea, not the best colouring on though.

What is this called?
I am curious about this model also, it looks interesting.

 

[Gausslander]

Welcome to the Miniluv

 

[VampireofBlood]

You should creat a Nuklear Silo

to the Workerquestion Above:

Dwarf Crane


This is with a dwarf on it, so may you could ask for permisson to Change it

 

[Choppermad]

That most certainly is not the "XGM" in question.
But it'd fit with the mine nicely.

 

[Mr.Teapot]

Please write here when you have fixed the black thingy, then I'll import the model asap

 

[xxgreysonxx]

i dunno if my map called Lost in the dark might have a metal mine for change and also please make a haunted metal mine there are enemies called heretics some of them keep track of you so watch out for the lurkers they track you and hunt you like some kind of animals!so be sure to stay in light not in blight

 

[Choppermad]

Please write here when you have fixed the black thingy, then I'll import the model asap

Fixed hours ago.

EDIT: QUICK FIX...anyway it is all good now. And shamanyouranus added team color which was very nice of him. So give him some rep too!

 

[Mr.Teapot]

It's weird when I try to select a unit using this model ingame.

I can't click on it, that prevents any target spells to be cast upon it which sucks

I can select it if I make a group selection thingy, but not with a single click.
Since I wanted to use this as a gold mine I can't use it anymore, Since I can't get them to mine

With all your respect Mr.bob

 

[HappyCockroach]

Damn it, won't you stop being so awesome? =P
5/5

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Mr.Bob, your model can not be "single clicked" ingame because you did not calculate extents for the model's STAND animation. This is easily fixed though. open up your model in magos and go to Edit>Calculate Extents, and that should fix it

Well, the maximum and minimum extents are set...so you should be able to click the very center.

EDIT: Just read anarchy's thing.

Archy, you are correct. lol I forgot because I added a new anim without the frames for it. So, I'll fix that asap. Thanks.

EDIT: Done.

IT IS FIXED NOW.

 

[Misha]

what freakin' teamcolor XD i see only 4 dots XD

 

[Tau Empire]

Lol cool people don't need team color they can tell by looking at them, because they will stock up right infront of you.

 

[HELL_YA]

Nice keep up the good work! 5/5

 

[Mr. Bob]

what freakin' teamcolor XD i see only 4 dots XD

Well...considering as how it is a gold mine.

 

[Hivoyer]

Awesome model

I really like your models,what program do you use for em?

 

[Mr. Bob]

I really like your models,what program do you use for em?

3ds max 2009. They will get a lot better when I upgrade to 3ds max 2010.

Best modeling programs on the market in my opinion.

 

[GangSpear]

Well, I was going to make the particles on the corners TC, but Magos can't do it. So heck. Anyway, it is a gold mine, so who needs one anyway? XD

Mr.Bob,how to do the digging mine animation?

 

[Fingolfin]

3ds max 2009. They will get a lot better when I upgrade to 3ds max 2010.

Best modeling programs on the market in my opinion.

How do you export the models to warcraft then? :S

 

[Mr. Bob]

This model was made a long time ago.

But, yeah I was using dex's exporter. Which, doesn't allow TCB or connected bones.

Now I use Neodex which is the same as art tools.
