Contest Theme: Air Units
Contestants created an air unit. A model that is primarily used to fly.

1. Supa-

12/15 mesh: It's a tad highpoly. You could have saved some polies here and there too. It's not all thát impressive but it looks nice.
8/10 animations: Really nice animations.
9/10 skin: This really makes the model. Nothing more to add.
5/5 mechanics: TC and stuff. Looks cool too.
3/5 effects: I like the death animation only it doesn't look as good ingame. The spell animations' fx look fine too but they're a bit simple.
3/5 creativity: Sc2.
+-----
40/50


2. tee.dubs

9/15 mesh: Kinda highpoly and it's not like it's all that complicated either.
7/10 animations: The animations are smooth but it really needs a generic stand in which all his tentacles move the same way. The death animation isn't that realistic either.
7/10 skin: The face doesn't look good because of the skin.
2/5 mechanics: no camera, no tc. Looks pretty good ingame though. You should add a camera o:
4/5 effects: Effects where they're needed and they look good.
4/5 creativity: good idea. Somewhat reminds me of that big monster in morrowind that you can ride :p or something.
+-----
34/50

3. Pyramidhe@d

13/15 mesh: Really bad-ass and stuff, but damn, what a polycount. Lots of unneeded polies on the barrels and on the fans or w/E on the back.
10/10 animations: :3
8/10 skin: Looks cool.
4/5 mechanics: TC, everything fits. Bit big :D But it looks cool ingame too.
5/5 effects: Love the death anims and the global animations.
5/5 creativity: a pink machine/monster that fuses with a pirate.
+-----
45/50

4. Fan

9/15 mesh: What a cute model :D. Not very complicated but that's exactly how wc3 models are :p The polycount is good but it needs some add-ons. Because it's quite generic imo.
5/10 animations: They fit but they don't really look all that great. I suspect you used the gyrocopter's anims? Also, the nose kinda goes through the windshield in several animations.
7/10 skin: Not much to say about the skin. I like the dashboard and the wheel with the little hands and stuff. But it's still pretty generic. Original use of that car texture, though.
3/5 mechanics: Looks pretty cool ingame. A bit big and clumsy though :D. The portrait looks very cute too. The teamcolor is hardly noticeable, though. You might want to add some one the wings.
2/5 effects: Sort of lacking. I find that if your model is mechanical, you should add a massive explosion in the death animation. You didn't add fx there :(
4/5 creativity: Steward Little but nice idea.
+-----
30/50

5. DonDustin

10/15 mesh: Face looks cool. The rest is okay too, but I don't like the position of the wings and I think the hands are too thick.
8/10 animations: Nice set of animations. They may not be scratch-made, but it looks very good and it fits the concept.
9/10 skin: Nice use of the given texture.
3/5 mechanics: Looks fabulous but too bad the portrait bugs :<
3/5 effects: somewhat simple.
4/5 creativity: cool concept. With the hair and stuff...
+-----
37/50

6. Chilla_Killa

6/15 mesh: Rather basic and highpoly too. You should billboard the lights too.
3/10 animations: Simple and not really realistic either.
6/10 skin: Good choice. Though, I really don't like the chainmail. Also, it has some wrapping issues.
3/5 mechanics: Tc is hardly noticable.
3/5 effects: Simple but effective.
4/5 creativity: It doesn't have wings :3
+----
25/50

7. Time to die

Disqualified due to CnP

8. Forgotten warlord

12/15 mesh: Looks cool.
4/10 animations: Anims fit but don't really look that good.
3/10 skin: Yeah...
2/5 mechanics: Yeah, it really doesn't look that good ingame.
2/5 effects: some glow... no real fx.
2/5 creativity: yeah... it's a dragon. I didn't expect that for an air unit compo.
+----
25/50

9. Yayoi

2/15 mesh: Yeah... 600 faces. :3
2/10 animations: Keep practising.
3/10 skin: yeah what a poor texture/wrap, dude.
1/5 mechanics:
0/5 effects: No fx :(
5/5 creativity: Cool concept.
+----
13/50

10. Massive Attack

10/15 mesh: Looks cool. A lot of unneeded polies, though.
8/10 animations: Cool anims. Attack anim is very kewl.
7/10 skin: good.
3/5 mechanics: Doesn't really fit because of the details.
4/5 effects: The death's fx looks very good.
3/5 Creativity: a glider :3
+----
35/50

11. Ikillforeyou

11/15 mesh: It's all there. Just a bit high poly.
7/10 animations: simple but effecive, I guess.
7/10 skin: Looks good.
3/5 mechanics: Fine.
2/5 effects: way too many particles. The effects look cool though.
2/5 creativity: A plane. :3
+----
32/50

12. Pyritie

10/15 mesh: Kinda highpoly but meh looks good.
10/10 animations: Well yeah...
6/10 skin: simple
2/5 mechanics: Rendering makes it look ugly as hell.
5/5 effect: outstanding :D
3/5: creativity: pokemon
+----
36/50

13. HappyCockroach

12/15 mesh: Looks cool!
9/10 animations: Smooth and very life-like.
7/10 Textures: nice choice.
4/5 mechanics: more TC plx.
3/5 effects: could use some more fx.
5/5 creativity: lulz.
+----
40/50


Pyritie's Hippip

MESH 12/15

While its only a ball with limbs, you pulled it off quite well and managed to add to the "cuteness" of the model.

ANIMATIONS 8/10

Definitely the strongest point of the model. As simple as they are, like the mesh, you managed to really push the "cuteness" factor. The death animation is just adorable.

SKIN 8/10

Fairly simple, but they look nice and they read well. Being a pokemon, they need to be simple anyway. Shading and alpha is done well.

MECHANICS 4/5

Everything works fine. If you plan on using projectiles, use models with large particle effects. Looks great on it.

EFFECTS 5/5

Great effects all around. They feel magical in a gay sort of way. Exactly what a pokemon model needs. Great job.

CREATIVITY 4/5

Quite creative I'd say. The fact that you even added the pokeball morph anims is great. Also love how cute it is overall. It really shines in that department for sure.

OVERALL RATING 41/50


HappyCockroach's Cabalist

MESH 13/15

Nice mesh. I like it.

ANIMATIONS 9/10

Anims looks great for this model. Lots of them, all of which are very detailed.

SKIN 8/10

Nice use of Blizzard's textures.

MECHANICS 4/5

The biggest problem is that when the model turns, it looks strange with the bat all over the place. Unfortunately, there really isn't a way to fix this unless you pulled the bat in on the walk anim.

EFFECTS 2/5

The main problem here is that there aren't many effects. And, the few that are present are barely visible ingame.

CREATIVITY 4/5

Lots of creativity in the fact that you added the bat there. Unfortunately, it kinda screwed up the mechanics. Creative all the same. Also lots of creativity in the anims.

OVERALL RATING 41/50


tee.dub's Rhinolox Coleoidus

MESH 10/15

Decent. Not amazing but decent.

ANIMATIONS 6/10

Again, decent. But not amazing. Some of them are not very smooth. Also, the anims don't quite fit the nastiness of the model idea. They remind me of a cow with 8 legs on crack. And, the death anim just looks bad.

SKIN 6/10

Great choice of texture for the main body. Awesome wrap. Trouble is, the other parts look cartoony so they clash.

MECHANICS 4/5

Works fine. I don't see any problems. Not exactly amazing, but it works fine ingame.

EFFECTS 1/5

You almost did good with the spell anim...but the death anims is just bad.

CREATIVITY 4/5

I must say there is plenty of creativity. But, it is a bit reminiscent of the zerg overlord. Almost seems a bit too much like it.

OVERALL RATING 31/50


Fan's Charlie the Traveler

MESH 9/15

Not a big fan of the mesh. Simple. Looks good, but the back of the plane is too fat.

ANIMATIONS 4/10

Not really yours, and I can't really say it was a good choice..because it was the only choice.. Doesn't make it look bad though.

SKIN 7/10

Decent texture choice. The wrap on the front wings is pretty bad. Also looks blurry. I would say 5/10 but the wrap on the face is pretty good.

MECHANICS 5/5

Works fine. Portrait really pulls through.

EFFECTS 1/5

Meh. Not many.

CREATIVITY 4/5

A rat flying a plane with a scarf. Idea is very creative. Execution..not so much.

OVERALL RATING 30/50


PyramidHe@d's Merc Ravager

MESH 15/15

Amazing mesh. Great all around. Really great use of polies too.

ANIMATIONS 10/10

Amazing anims. Again, great all around. I do love the detail you put into everything. For instance, the little flaps on the wings wiggle. Awesome.

SKIN 9/10

Again...great work. Really love them. TC placement was superb.

MECHANICS 5/5

Works fine. Portrait is amazing.

EFFECTS 4/5

Not many, but the ones there look very very nice. Death effects look great.

CREATIVITY 5/5

Seriously. I would have never thought of a giant pink mutated whale with 4 wings and a fan stuck up it's butt.

OVERALL RATING 48/50


SuPa's Corrupter

MESH 14/15

Gets the job done. Not too many polies, but that can be a good thing. I'd rather see all the tentacles and limbs have a little bit more polies.

ANIMATIONS 9/10

Looks great. But, the tentacles intersect on some of the anims. Also, I'd like to see the anims be smoother.

SKIN 10/10

Great skin all around. Really good work.

MECHANICS 4/5

Works fine. Nothing really compliments the WC3 system. A good portrait would be nice.

EFFECTS 2/5

You need to fade them a lot. Also you need to add some noise to the generation. Looks very bland.

CREATIVITY 2/5

Its from SC2...D:

OVERALL RATING 41/50


DonDustin's Demonic Gargoyle

MESH 10/15

Looks ok but the anatomy is seriously messed up. The jaw looks scary..but not the way it's supposed to...the wings looks weird.. And the limbs all looks kinda strange proportionally.

ANIMATIONS 8/10

As many of them as there is, they all are a bit choppy and hard. I especially don't like the wing movement, and all the weird stances. The legs are all over the place. Some of them look really good though.

SKIN 9/10

Very nice choice and UVW. One problem I have is the detail on the face and chest clash with the blurry legs and arms. Overall, its a pretty good wrap though.

MECHANICS 5/5

Works fine and has a decent portrait anim set.

EFFECTS 3/5

Some are good...some are bad...

CREATIVITY 4/5

The idea isn't really creative...gargoyles are a pretty old concept..But, the texture choice and anims are pretty creative.

OVERALL RATING 39/50


chilla_killa's EyeBot

MESH 6/15

Not exactly the hardest mesh to make is it.

ANIMATIONS 2/10

Bad. Not much else to say. It should be smoother, and more creative. Kind of like a floating testicle atm.

SKIN 2/10

Bad UVW with bad textures.

MECHANICS 2/5

The bad anims make it look bad ingame.

EFFECTS 2/5

All bad. The flamethrower was bad, but not as bad.

CREATIVITY 2/5

Its a floating ball. D:

OVERALL RATING 16/50


Yayoi's Zenoth Scout

MESH 1/15

No offense...but this mesh scares the crap of me. Not in a good way.

ANIMATIONS 1/10

Very bad. Very choppy, and very buggy. The attack is so full of 'wtf juice' that it seeps through it's pores.

SKIN 1/10

Probably the worst part of the model.

MECHANICS 1/5

Bad anims that are buggy don't do well for this model ingame...

EFFECTS 1/5

Effects? What effects... I see no effects...

CREATIVITY 3/5

The concept was creative. I will give you that. You need to work on the other stuff though.

OVERALL RATING 8/50


Forgotten_Warlord's ShadowDragon

MESH 14/15

Really love the mesh. Looks great.

ANIMATIONS 2/10

The major problem with the model is that the anims are just bad. They are choppy and make no sense.

SKIN 6/10

If it was less blurry it would be fine.

MECHANICS 1/5

The the anims screw it over completely.

EFFECTS 2/5

The little heart thing is cool..but everything else is lacking effects.

CREATIVITY 2/5

Its from HoMM5.

OVERALL RATING 27/50


MassiveMaster's Flying Spear Thrower

MESH 11/15

Love the detail. Unfortunately, none of it is seen from above.

ANIMATIONS 6/10

Decent. The wing motions are clunky.

SKIN 7/10

Good choice I guess. Nothing amazing.

MECHANICS 3/5

Looks good but it needs a good portrait and better wing motions. Also, as nice and creative as the death anim is, you now have to set the height to the same thing every time.

EFFECTS 4/5

There aren't many. But, because of the model..there doesn't need to be. The effects present look nice.

CREATIVITY 3/5

The idea is kinda creative. Bandit on a kite.

OVERALL RATING 34/50


ikillforeyou's XV-105 Super Stingray

MESH 11/15

Decent enough I guess. Nothing special.

ANIMATIONS 5/10

First off, on the death anim, it needs to fall faster. Much faster. Also, why does he spin on stand 2? That should be a walk anim. Everything else is average.

SKIN 5/10

Not a big fan of the clash between the sky blue of the cockpit, and the trash can metal of the body.

MECHANICS 3/5

Needs a good portrait model. Also, the stand 2 anims screws up the flow ingame.

EFFECTS 3/5

The smoke effects look ok I guess. But, the killer is a) the lack of an explosion on death. b) the fact that the little bullet things fall for far too long before disappearing.

CREATIVITY 2/5

Shape of the plane is the only creative part of this model.

OVERALL RATING 29/50


Time-to-die's Heavy copter

MESH 5/15

Meh. Too skinny. Back box is retarded.

ANIMATIONS 2/10

Bad. Very bland.

SKIN 1/10

You used...a texture...from a different game... That's a nono. And, it doesn't even look good.

MECHANICS 1/5

Its so awkward ingame...

EFFECTS 1/5

Pff...what effects?

CREATIVITY 1/5

What is this I don't even

I'm amazed at how close our judging was lol...
:p
Devine:
Supa-
It's a tad highpoly. You could have saved some polies here and there too. It's not all thát impressive but it looks nice.

Vs

Mr. Bob:
Supa-
Gets the job done. Not too many polies, but that can be a good thing. I'd rather see all the tentacles and limbs have a little bit more polies.

Not that close XD

Yeah ... I kinda focussed on the face there...
Because that was highpoly. The tentacles were pretty efficiently made in my opinion. Besides, I hate polies so I discredit a model easily for being high-poly :3
