The Hive Workshop presents...
Animating Contest #2
Theme: Full unit animations
Contest General Information and Specifics
Contestants must create a full set of animations for a given model.
Well, instead of animating a model from Warcraft III that already has a full set of animations, it would be far more productive to animate a model that is unanimated.
Now, this contest is a little different. You have four model sets to choose from. All of them share the same basic animations, but they all have some custom ones. Being creative and original will help you when it comes to judging.
Textures are included, but Scorch is just a reddish-orange, so you can recolor one of the skins if so desired but it is not necessary.
Contest Rules and Conditions
EDIT:
Contest Judging and Voting
Contest Deadline
All submissions must be complete and submitted 2 months (8 weeks) after the contest begins.
The contest shall begin on 1st April and conclude on 27th May, at 0:00 AM, GMT, with a possible extension.

- Animation(s) should have decent timing.

Prizes!

Second Place: 40 reputation points
Third Place: 20 reputation points
UpdatesI will be using the best animation set of each hero. For example, if only one person does Coalch, then I will be using those. But if two people decide to do Scorch, then I will only be using the better animation set for her.
