Mechanized SteamPig

[Mister_Haudrauf]

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.

 

[General Frank]

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)

 

[Lord_Marrowgrath]

Cheers for gnomes!

 

[Strikest]

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.

 

[HappyCockroach]

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

 

[Cuore]

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...

 

[Alethos]

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?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Looks so good.

 

[Cuore]

No it's very good the way it is

 

[Kyrbi0]

Curly (spring) tail? /win

 

[General Frank]

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

 

[Xeryxoz]

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

 

[Doomcore]

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.

 

[Tryndamere]

awesome models boar
