Goblin Siege Walker

[Eagle XI]

Hmm, GDI Juggernaut turned goblin i see.

 

[General Frank]

A cool adaptation of the GDI juggy.
I like how you managed to craft something out from what you had.

 

[MiniMage]

Hmm, GDI Juggernaut turned goblin i see.

There's both GDI and NOD in the goblin race now. You can't win.

 

[Redsteel1]

very cool!

 

[deepstrasz]

Is that actually made by you or just an edit of another imported model? Anyways, I see no portrait.
4/5.
I'm not sure the weapon should face the ground when walking.

Edit: a spell animation wouldn't hurt either.

 

[MiniMage]

Well, I intentionally wanted it to angle towards the ground, because physics and weight. As for portraits. I was dead tired just animating this thing and there's still parts of it that I dislike.

I'll make a portrait for it at a later date.

 

[Emm-A-]

I think the animations are absolutely amazing. I think you should leave the walk animation as it is!

....Or maybe make an alternate animation, where the goblin faces forward...

Maybe some jumping animation to splash on to the ground, would be nice as well.

I think the model is a master piece!

Edit:

Is there a walking sound attached? I think it would be cool to hear actual heavy steps

 

[MiniMage]

Didn't actually think about that. Might add that later.

 

[Mister_Haudrauf]

This reminds me of the At-Rt. (All Terrain Recon Transport)

 

[infrenus]

Oooh I like this one a lot. The animations are quite good. I know what you mean by not liking to make animations... a lot of my old models never saw the light of day and ended dissapearin when my computer got hard drive problens because of not wanting to make the animations.

Still, the animations are quite basic, and even knowing that your models are more techy, a little exaustion pipe doesnt kill nobody.

 

[MiniMage]

I wonder if I should complete the trade prince mech hero and upload that one too. This model right here is my second mech, that other one was my first.

 

[Emm-A-]

I'd say that a lot of people will appreciate more good mech models

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

Juggy!
Really awesome work there

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

Very nice model.

 

[FerSZ]

Sweet! The design is actally very cool! And I agree, making animations from the scratch is really exhausting. Keep it up man!

 

[RanchBurner]

Definitely reminds me of a GDI Juggernaut. Any way you could reskin it to the real thing?

 

[Mike]

Now there is a full-fledged army of goblins on Hive)

 

[MiniMage]

I may upload buildings later.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I've been putting off posting all weekend in search of a GIF of that exact walk-cycle... Alas, I cannot waste anymore time on this search. If any of you find it, I will gladly Rep you.

~~~

Love it. Cool model, simple & useful. Personally, I wish you'd choose a different (metal?) texture rather than the excessive TC-metal stuff that's all over this guy (& honestly many of your other mechs)... But still.

DAT WALK CYCLE! Love it. It's hilarious. Very Goblin. Probably 3.8/5, but I'll make it 4 for dat walk.

I may upload buildings later.

I should hope so. : )

 

[MiniMage]

There isn't really that many metal textures to choose from that are that good though.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I know. That's part of why it's rated so highly; it's just a wishful opinion. :<

(but wait, Steam Tank/Siege Engine/Robo-Goblin/Tinker Backpack/Pocket Factory/every metal building isn't enough?)

 

[MiniMage]

Steamtank/Siege Engine is too bright.
Robo-Goblin is about 50% of the model.
Tinker Backpack is the other 50% of the model.
Pocket Factory is too dark.

The only real places where the pocket factory fits is if you want to make a rubber creation, or very old metal chimneys.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Hm, fair enough. I trust you to have combed the MPQ's more than I have. : )

What'dya change?

 

[MiniMage]

Nothing big. Small things, may change more things in the future. People might not notice, but I am a perfectionist, so eh.

 

[Cherrymage]

Juggernaut! I love you!

EDIT : by the way, I feel that the walking animation is overdone. Maybe you can make the cannons tilt and move a little as they walk, but have it shaking like crazy isn't too good in my opinion.

Also, would be perfect if there's a Deployed animation set, like in Tiberian Sun where the Juggy can deploy

 

[MiniMage]

Hm. Well, I worked my ass of trying to make the walk animation look good. Still not completely satisfied with it, not gonna end up remaking it though.

As for a deploy, depends on the complexity of animation required.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Pretty awesome goblin engine. A few issues though:

• Is its portrait correct? It is looking at a rather random point which doesn't make much sense. You could center it on the operator.
• A heavy machine as this should leave footprints on the ground. It would be good if you added those.
• It is lacking sprite attachment points to show damage fire.
  
• And death is disappointing, it vanishes and a 'ToonBoom' takes place. Consider improving it.

Awaiting update.

 

[MiniMage]

- I haven't made a portrait yet.
- I could probably add some footprints
- Not sure which kind of attachment points though.
- Toon boom followed by a neutral explosion, but yes, animations are annoying as shit.

 

[HappyCockroach]

- Not sure which kind of attachment points though.

Every mechanical unit in WC3 has sprite attachment points (Sprite First Ref, Sprite Second Ref, and so on). To those attachment points by default are attached fire SFX whenever HP drops below 50% or so.

 

[MiniMage]

Should I look into some existing unit, like the steam engine?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Just create attachments at the places where you think the flames should appear as it becomes damaged. Three are enough. (Sprite First/Second/Third Ref should be their names) - And yes, you may look at the steam engine for a reference if you want.

 

[Hazop]

Can you maybe make an alternate version with no goblin and the top covered?
