Offering intresting contest theme for a modelling contest:
Advanced basic hero:
Imagine hero with same abilities like a original wc3 based one, but with totaly different appearance. New model should fit skills of original hero. It can have other icons, other basic race but should fit skills mechanics.
For example:
Tauren Chieftan skills: clap, cleave attack, power wave and ressurection.
We can easy make him an undead grunt zombie (like a "tank" from l2d) with AOE stun, splash attack, power wave and which ressurects after death.
Or we can make him a allied "divine" unit, which prays for stun, makes a holy-wave, damages everything on its path and ressurects. Overall there is a lot of intresting choices, so, rules:
1. New appearence should be based on some wc3 race (Horde, Human, NE, Undead)
2. New appearance should easily fit a classic melee wc3 map
3. New appearance should fit a original unit skill mechanics.
And criteria for ratings:
1. Model Creativity (not boring skeletons with same geometry like an original one)
2. Model Execution (moar points for original animations, good geometry, etc., less points for huge size, etc...)
3. Warcraftish Appearance (in a crowd of wc3 models it should not look like a raven in a poppet flock)
4. Original concept (so, making a NE blade-master from an illidan is boring and usual rework, but making same shit from a treant with different concept - its a good idea: imagine and whisper (NE) with some roots around him in a form of humanoid (two hands, two foots, chest and head is same "part" where inside is a whisper found). So, the "blade dance" animation can be the next: roots from his body separates and start cycling around the spirit. It is original and intresting. )
