Gnome Tinker - Gunstrider

[Villagerino]

Here's a short infopost. I'm excited to finally share this model with you and hope you find it enjoyable and useful!

Some examples of how you can use animations and icons:

Spoiler

Spell Throw	Grenade	Hurls a grenade at a target area, dealing 125/200/275 damage to enemy land units and stunning them for 1/2/3 seconds.
Spell Slam	Penetrating Shells	Unleashed a series of powerful shots that break through armor of enemy units, causing attacks to do 1.5/2/2.5 times normal damage.
Walk Fast	Afterburner	Makes the Hero more elusive to enemies, increasing evasion by 10/15/20% and movement speed by 50/75/100% due to constant mana consumption.
Stand Channel Alternate	Explosive Ammo	The Hero becomes immobilized, but can rotate the Gunstrider to continuously fire explosive projectiles across the target area, dealing up to 35/50/65 damage to nearby enemy land units.

Short animation cases if you can't open the model viewer:

Some pieces of creative process:

Spoiler

• Spell Slam sequence
• Backpack and ammo
• Slow motion animation check
• Gnome Tinker Flamestrider teaser

Icons could be found here.

Below you can find a map containing a hero with preferred Object Editor parameters (for a 1:1 scale model), a transformation ability (Gunstrider Mode - Mechanostrider Mode) and a few spells to see some animations:

Thank you! It was fun to work on his character, Gnomes are kinda comical and serious at the same time

This model must've taken long to make

Thanks, man True, it took me a while, especially animations, though @AndrewOverload519's geosets helped to speed up the process. Initially it was Ent Mechanostrider lol.

Holy crap, incredible. Really dig the creativity in the portrait animations (particularly portrait alternate 3) - I feel those get a bit underused.

 

[MogulKahn]

Perfection

 

[Deolrin]

Oh wow. I absolutely adore this model. I think it's your best work so far and it's one of my favourite WC3 models of all time. I love all the little details in the animations and mesh. This has to be a must-use for any maps involving gnomes. Absolutely quintessential stuff here!

 

[Wind Rose]

Simply great.

Thank you for these pleasing words and remarks, Deolrin! I think that your intelligent observation and experience in modeling allow you to appreciate the fact that the model, despite such catchiness as, for example, Wight, has a more complete and "joined" mesh, integrity of the image, aesthetics and more profound animations than some of my previous works. I think my models are finally becoming "mature". I'm glad that I joined Factioneers, your support helped me to grow.

Simply great.

Thank you, Wind Rose!

 

[RvzerBro]

Awesome!

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Congratulations, you've made the Gnomes a not-so-"filler race."
We ought to see more potential in the Gnomes, especially as a technically-superior race.

 

[Bawbz]

Great work, sir!

 

[Rommel]

It's on par with the best of vanilla styled models from Tauer, HerrDave and Gluma. The anims are beyond awesome. Love the small details like the rider's facial expression.

 

[Kenathorn]

Just WOW, mate! The amount of work you put in this unit is hard to underestimate. It's a basically fully made hero with all the abilities and stuff! Just great work!

 

[Jealot]

Really nice model, super cool idea and animations! Looking forward to seeing more high quality stuff in the future!

 

[Scrungus]

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear...

Yes.

Holy macaroni! This is some next level model! Excellent job, brother!

 

[MasterHaosis]

Ah you released it! I remember that model from your thread. Good job on that! 5/5 + like from me.
You could create crazy scientist version out of it, just to adapt that dwarf

[Noctiss_Season2]

EUREKAAA!! spectacular work

 

[Mortimm]

Incredibly creative, high fidelity and fits the Warcraft aesthetic! You're really on a roll with these creations!

Thanks for the high rating and glad you like the model and find it fitting @Mortimm, cracking the code of the vanilla aesthetics, but some of my older models that I was going to release and comissioned models for some custom maps would look less fitting. Come theck them out a bit later!

 

[Mortimm]

Thanks!

I will! What you're offering really is inspiring!

oh, a lot of fun animations here! excellent job!

UPDATE

Size changes:

• Improved proportions of the main model.

Commentary: The Gnome looked overly "bulby" and his head visually dominated Strider, making him look "Dwarfy". This bothered me when I compared the model to other models in the game. As a result of the changes, Strider began to look more significant, and the hero became closer to the models from WoW with their big forearms, heads and small feet.

I also made the backpack bigger to further showcase the Gnome in contrast. Had to adjust a lot of animations for that, too much fuss!

---

New model:

• Added Automated Mechanostrider with improved 'Portrait' animations, a new 'Death' sequence (in the style of mechanical vanilla units) and additional TC.

Commentary: Can be used as a separate mechanical chivalry unit of the Gnome race.

---

New attachment:

• A test map with all the necessary parameters of the Object Editor has been added to the infopost. (Do not re-import models from the map as they may not be final versions.)

Commentary: Transform your hero and have fun destroying Striders!

 

[SpasMaster]

Cool changes!

Now that you gave us the Mechanostrider separately, I wonder if we'll see its rider separately as well at some point. That would be neat!

Thanks! He's a self-contained hero, so I was only thinking about eventually creating a different looking walking Gnomish engineer that could expand the race

 

[The Nightraven]

Really cool!

 

[kangyun]

Excellent

 

[BestBrian]

Perfect!

 

[Villagerino]

Thank you for appreciating my work so highly, guys!

 

[Misha]

[Astaroth Zion]

Awesome models, so fitting that I am redoing my engineer unit for the current techtree contest.

 

[Sun gate]

This is beautiful, I wish there were more steampunk style models in Hive.
