First of all I want to congratulate everyone who created a model for this competition because all of them are very good.

Some short opinion about each of the models:

WILLTHEALMIGHTY's Ancient Turtle: Fits very well the ancient and nightelf theme and the anims were good chosen. The particles are also awesome. The only thing I don´t like that much about it is that it looks quite similar to the Ancient of Wonders, but it looks very cute :)

Dionesiist's Fire Elemental: Fits well the elemental-with-armor theme and has the typical dio texture style.But in my opinion there is a bit too much armor and less fire elemental. But the model itself has a good quality.

PyramidHe@d's Glacial Destroyer:I really like this model because of its animations. But it looks more like a boss than like an elemental to me altough it has the ice theme. But this is a nice model too.

Burning_Dragoon5's Ice Elemental: Another elemental with the ice theme. What I liked about this model is how the team color was placed and that it fits very well into the warcraft style. The animations are also well created. What I do not like that much are the particles that could have been better.

Jigrael's Lightning Elemental: this model could be the brother of the Firelord. The theme is well executed and the textures are very nice aswell, just like the animations. But the helmet looks depending on the tc a bit unfitting.


Illidan(Evil)X's Fire Elemental: The last model that was submitted in time. What I like is that you added some icons to the models.This model also fits it´s them very well and is even original,because it is not just a normal elemental but a fire dragon.The animations are all very nice and the texture is good too. And it´s very cute like WILL´s turtle :)

All in all: my favourite model is Illidan(Evil)X's Fire Elemental and it gets my vote.

These models are truly EPIC!

WILLTHEALMIGHTY's Ancient Turtle: It's a very creative and an original idea. But it doesn't seem to fit the theme as much as I'd like it to. Aside from that it's quite simple.

Dionesiist's Fire Elemental: Dionesiist takes the cake for creativity. It's a totally unique concept for the Fire Elemental. Though I find the shape and texture a bit odd, the texture not so much, I think the particles and animations are just perfect. Kudos to you.

Pyramidhe@d's Glacial Destroyer: I love the animations, and the idea is just wonderful. You portrayed this model perfectly. But I don't like the general shape of the mesh and the appearance of the texture. It just seems a bit primitive. Otherwise you did quite well. Unfortunately you wont be getting my vote.

Burning_Dragoon5's Ice Elemental: Everything is generally nice, but I feel as if you just copied a similar shape over and over again with the same texture/UV and just slightly changes them to fit better in their place.

Jigrael's Lightning Elemental: I see nothing wrong with this model whatsoever, your skill is outstanding. Unfortunately you will be getting plenty of votes without me and I feel that the others deserve a chance to place that is as great as yours.

Illidan(Evil)X's Fire Elemental:The mesh is wonderful and the reality in the animations is great. Though I think you could've done some more easing. One major concern of mine is some of the scaling/proportions. If the head and feet were a tad smaller it would make the dragon seem more immense and bulky. Aside from that the texture is a real put down for me.

Everyone did great. I'm really happy with some of the results from this contest.

What a crappy reason to not vote for someone. Seriously, vote for what you think is the best, not whose self-esteem you want to boost.

As far as I'm concerned, there's no contest. Jigrael's model is unquestionably better for the WC3 environment than any of the others, which puts it a step above the rest no matter how you measure quality. Good entries and all, sure, but the best model is obvious for a landslide of reasons.

I don't want your opinion on my vote. Jigrael will obviously get the most votes for reasons which don't need to be explained. My vote wont make a difference one way or another. I want to give my opinion toward the second place in the public votes.

Lets not question each other's vote, and just vote Lon damn it! I'll be making my vote soon enough. So stay tuned for a future update.

I have all the ratings done, but I wont release them until the poll closes.
If you want your individual score, PM me.

I prefer Illidan and Jigrael's models, after a bit of thinking my vote goes to Illidan.

WILLTHEALMIGHTY's Ancient Turtle: Quite good model. You showed another talent(besides of sfx making). Great use of particle emitters(I liked that when the turtle moves it makes dust). What I don't like is the texture you have chosen for the head - stone turtle with an wooden carapace. That's unnatural
Pyramidhe@d's Glacial Destroyer: The most unique idea in the contest. Great animations(considering you made them from scratch). Your model is great for some badass Boss.
Dionesiist's Fire Elemental: Very good texturing on the armor. I think you should've made better particles(after all they are the heart of the model). Didn't like the lower part of the fire elemental(particles seemed to tremble). Overally good.
Burning_Dragoon5's Ice Elemental: A little choppy animations(some of the were good though). Some texture variety won't hurt.
Illidan(Evil)X's Fire Elemental: Outstanding model. Outstanding animations(you also put a sleep animation). Texturing and particles are also great.
Jigrael's Lightning Elemental: Your lightnings are awesome(never seen such effects in wc3). Model and animations are also great.

Here's my rank list:
6 - Burning_Dragoon5
5 - Dionesiist
4 - WILLTHEALMIGHTY
3 - Jigrael
2 - Pyramidhe@d
1 - Illidan(Evil)X

So ,my vote geos for Illidan(Evil)X. It was a hard decision. Pyramidhe@d's model was the most original one but animations won - this time.

I voted jig's.
Wonder how you made those lightning pseudo-ribbon on attack animation.It's so fast i can't tell if it just show/hide or if it's actually a trail.
ANd contrary to most of people I totaly love your very own lghtning textures.

I rly like Burningdragoon Ice elemental.Though bad choice of particle textures, I personaly would use dust3.blp with icy color and a bit larger.

Pyramidhead model is good very nice attack and spell animation but walk and death are a bit fail.

1 - Illidan(Evil)X
2 - Jigrael
3 - Pyramidhe@d
4 - Dionesiist
5 - Burning_Dragoon5
6 - WILLTHEALMIGHTY

so Illidan has my vote

Voted for IlidanEvil's awesome dragon.
to bad supa didnt finish the model ....

I voted for Jigrael, that model just seems the best in my opinion... every model here looks awesome and cool, but my vote is for Jig... If I've could vote for everyone, then I would do so ^^

I'll make critics and comments for these model, but not now... later

Jigrael's model beats the crap out of everything, by the looks, technically, it's got team color and awesome effects (ribbons, particles, mesh, bleh blah).
