How to Improve your chances of getting your request done:
Does the Model Already Exist?
There are already many models in the resource section. Not only that, there are plenty of models at other sites like www.wc3campaigns.net.
In short, look throughly through this thread before posting.
Reference Pictures
Reference pictures of the request will help a modeler greatly.
Try going to google to look up whatever you want to request, and find pictures that show most of the character or thing you want made. You can also make simple drawings as long as you are capable of making the shape or design.
Taking Consideration
Remember that models take time.
A good modeler will probably spend about 12 hours (sometimes more than a week) on a model, and remember: it's for you. Usually the longest things to make, and the most turned down requests are characters. Rather than characters popping in your head all the time, try to think of other things you could use. Maybe if you work hard enough and well enough with the person doing your request, they might take in more complex and longer requests from you.
Be courteous to the people helping you, they will always respect someone who shows respect to them.
Proving the Model's Use
99% of all modelers are not going to make you a model just so you can have your own model to mess with.
The person that has their map all done, and is requesting a couple models to polish it, is about 10 times more likely to get their request done before a requester who hasn't even started his/her map yet.
Another couple things about this is, don't use the excuse that "If you make the model, I'll probably get the map done!" This is one the lamest excuses and will probably make you getting any request taken very unlikely.
The map comes first. There are plenty of Warcraft III units to use as temporary units to use until you are done with your map. Then come back and make a request.
Understanding the Concepts of Modding
Now lets face it, when you make a request it's probably because you don't know how to do it yourself. I'm not saying you have to learn how to, but a general good idea is to at least understand the concept or the process it takes to make whatever resources your requesting. This will help you relate to modders here and will help you choose your request more reasonably and practically.
Name your thread with the following format..
It would be ideal to make a request in such a format, to keep things orderly, and to make it easier for requesters to see what they will be getting into.
Nobody wants to read through a whole 2 paragraphs describing why you can't do it yourself, or how this is "all you need and would be awesome!"
So please, make things a little easier, by trying to title your thread like:
["Request type"] - "Request name"
For example: [Model] - Blood Elf Warrior
Happy Requesting, and I hope you find someone to help!
This can be constantly updated when a new suggestion arises.
