Hellstone Golem

Drawing strength from the fires of hell, Hellstone Golem wreaks fiery havoc on his enemies.

Miscelaneous:
  • Contains additional animations for instant and channeling spells, stuns, bashes and stomps.
  • Contains reworked in-game mesh to support the character of the model.
Technical:
  • Attachment points, collision spheres and so on, are properly adjusted.
  • Minimized geosets; animations have been made smoother.
  • Contains the appropriate Death animation sounds.
UPDATED:
  • The omnilight color changed from greenish to bright yellow.
  • Fixed the Decay animation issue.
Author's notes:

During creation, I tried to give the model a lore-friendly look to better fit the Warcraft universe.
I'm happy to share it with Hivers: feel free to use/edit the model but give credits.
The model was created for one of my favorite maps - Tree Tag.

The model did not disappear on the end of Decay animation. Please fix it. The light node is also emitting a greenish light, a yellow/orange could fit better.

A very good model edit and excellent use of in-game textures. Works in-game and performs well. Amazing job. Idea for the future: Add an animated layer of molten lava over the firelord fire texture. :)

Well you've successfully combined two of the coolest models in the entire game (& two of my personal favorites, natch) into one excellent combo, so I'm not sure what else to say but

I mean seriously, this is epic. Granted the custom animations you did are ever-so-slightly worse than the standard ones, they are still quite good (especially the "clap" anim, love that one).

BTW, I also combined Lich 😀
But that applause claps are still for his dad ❤️‍🔥

What do you mean? Should all geosets become invisible on the last Decay animation frame? 😳 Doesn't the game remove the unit's remains after the Decay animation is finished?

Thank you!
I'm planning to release some additional versions of that golem creatures in the future when I have enough of them and I will surely take your idea into consideration :smile:
