Best in their Field (wc3 community)? Coders, Modelers, 2D Artists, etc

[Nestharus]

After seeing the best spell maker thread, I decided to make this one =)

So, 1 vote per field (can't vote for yourself)

You don't need to vote on all fields, just pick the wants you are sure about =)

1. modeler - (name)
2. 2D artist - (name)
3. coder (jass, vjass, zinc, wc3 stuff, any type of resource) - (name)
4. sound engineer (composer, etc) - (name)

7. tutorial writer/teacher - (name)
8. Helper (just helps with stuff) - (name)
9. Troller (the best troll in all of wc3) - (name)
10. Terrainer

Yar, and please, only 1 vote per field, and please don't change votes. This just makes it easier to tally them all up.

[Binsu]

Added a vote at Terrainer :b

 

[Nestharus]

Figured I'd vote too

1. modeler - (PyramidHead or w/e), too bad his models are no longer up : (

2. 2D artist - thinking of Siryan, but not sure. He's very good.

3. coder (jass, vjass, zinc, wc3 stuff, any type of resource) - There are a lot of great general coders, but if I had to name one as the best when it came to JASS, vJASS, Zinc etc, I would have to say (jesus4lyf). He figured out a lot of stuff out and also submitted a lot of stuff and defined the 2nd generation of coders, which took place mostly at TH.

6. map maker - (Kithraya)
I mean come on http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/requiem-192294/

The effort alone places them at number 1. I'd rather hold my opinion until they release it though as the gameplay may suck : \, but still, the quality is incredible .

7. tutorial writer/teacher - (PurgeandFire)
This guy just has a knack for writing great tutorials. His documentation style actually helped shape mine .

8. Helper (just helps with stuff) - (Magtheridon96)
He has helped so many people :\. He isn't too active now because he's building a game engine, but he's still just so helpful.

10. Terrainer (fladdermasken)

 

[GreeN!X]

• Modeler - Frankster <---In terms of ingame texture models
• 2D Artist - CRAZYRUSSIAN <---Really nice icons i must say
• Coder - Nestharus <---Directors Cut (Period)
• Sound Engineer - I don't know any sound engineer here so I'll vote for.. Blizzard! <---Made a lot of sound effects
• Map Maker - APproject <--- Seth's Reign and more.
• Tutorial Writer - PurgeandFire <--- I really love his tutorials. Useful and very detailed.
• Helper - Rulerofiron99 <--- Active in WEHZ
• Troller - Trolman <--- Who else?
• Terrainer - fladdermasken <--- Love his terrains

Updated votes, check out who's winning

After 3 days go by with nobody voting, I'll consider voting closed and post the winners.

For every field, I'll post the average vote and standard deviation to show how opinions varied

For every winning user, I'll outline their strengths (what they got votes in) relative to other users (histogram)

3. coder (jass, vjass, zinc, wc3 stuff, any type of resource) - There are a lot of great general coders, but if I had to name one as the best when it came to JASS, vJASS, Zinc etc, I would have to say (jesus4lyf). He figured out a lot of stuff out and also submitted a lot of stuff and defined the 2nd generation of coders, which took place mostly at TH.

You forgot the "Virus" thingy made by J4L , which forced Blizzard to patch Warcraft 3 XD.

He also discovered Typecasting(the old,not working now one)

[HammerFist132]

2D artist Peekay -once it was crazyrussian, but now peekay is better
maper - why you always put here famous high repped names, just check D3 maps by booody(or boody).
3d artist - kwaliti - I like how his models are detailed.
Coder-lookingforhelp. - people maybe created more complexer things and engines, but his is perfectly easy to use by gui coders.

 

[Celaquil]

1. modeler - Nan0, or whoever actually did the models for the "Refuge in Ruin" map.
2. 2D artist - I'd have to go with Red Shift here, currently under the alias of "Red," mostly cause his skins have been very useful for my terrains.
4. sound engineer (composer, etc) - I reckon I've visited this section of the hive too little, but I'll go with WherewolfTherewolf.
5. writer - Well, me obviously. No, well, I haven't read anything by Edhel_dur, but I reckon (s?)he's pretty good, I'll have to go with DSgamer for being the best I've read "thus" far.
6. map maker - Rao Dao Zao
7. tutorial writer/teacher - Void, for writing a tutorial that really got me into terraining.
8. Helper (just helps with stuff) - Hakeem, for being a voice of reason to so many. And... For totally fucking my brain over, at certain points.
9. Troller (the best troll in all of wc3) - frostwhisper
10. Terrainer - MadseN

 

[fladdermasken]

Even though their ways are outdated, Gitlich and Killer_Mushroom were pretty badass terrainers, and their style nice and flawless.

Although if I have to go with one, put one vote up for 2-P from me.

 

[SA Dashie]

Hey I might consider voting when I've got the time, which should be soon.

 

[Gilles]

I only know terrain... so...

It's really tough to choose. There's so many people I could mention and I feel guilty not mentioning them. When push comes to shove, I would go with MaDseN (or however he capitalizes it). His terrains were just completely out of the league of any other terrainers at the time (with exception of 2-P and perhaps a name I have now forgotten).

Map making... I'd give it to Rao Dao Zao. Or DarnYak. I can't pick.

Edit: Sound engineer is easy, Samuraid.

 

[mckill2009]

Hard to pick but...

1. Modeler - Kitabatake
2. 2D artist - ???
3. Coder - Magtheridon96 and Nesthaurus
4. Sound engineer - Pharaoh_ ?
5. Writer - ???
6. Map maker - Booody (diablo 3)
7. Tutorial - PurgeandFire
8. Helper - Maker and Almia
9. Troller - Trollman or maybe TrollBrain (the name game)
10. Terrainer - fladdermasken
