Contestants shall model a creature or monster that has two forms.
A benign form disguised as a common, inert object;
And an antagonistic/animalistic "attack" form
- No submission may violate any Hive Workshop site rules.
- This includes, but is not limited to, using other people's work (partially or otherwise) without express permission
- You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
- You may make as many models as you want, however pick only one for the final judge's evaluation.
- To qualify for entry, you must post your model(s) in .mdx format, and a screenshot of the model.
- You must post your entry before the deadline expires and attach it to a post.
- You must make the model for this competition, which means that you cannot use old works.

- Attack
- Death
- Sleep
- Stand
- Walk
--OR-- - Attack Alternate
- Death
- Death Alternate
- Stand
- Stand Alternate
- Walk Alternate
(morph animations are optional)
The Judge's score shall be taken out of 50 points for the following categories
MESH
| The geometry of the model, the wireframe that gives your model a physical form and silhouette. Does the shape look clean or deformed? Are all ends capped, are there any stray faces, etc? |
10 points |
|
ANIMATIONS
| The movement of your model. The animations give your model life, character, a personality. Are these animations smooth or choppy? Are they organic or cold and robotic, was this intended? Do the animations deform or clip parts of the mesh? |
10 points |
|
UV/SKIN
| The skin, or texture of a model expresses many important aspects of the character. Is the texture well made; is it blurry, does it have a pleasant color scheme, does it have detail, etc? Or, if blizzard textures were used, how well was it wrapped? Are there parts that are clipped, misaligned or stretched? |
10 points |
|
CREATIVITY
| The Overall concept of your model, it's essence. Is this a creative idea? Or, if the general idea has been used before, how has the creator 'made it his own'? What has he added to make it special, or different from the ones that have come before him? |
10 points |
|
MECHANICS
| Does this model work ingame, in all aspects of wc3? Is it visible when imported, is the texture pathname hard to import, are chunks of the mesh loose and flying around, is the texture the correct proportion, is the model a relatively manageable size, do all the animations play properly ingame, do all the particles/ribbon emitters work, and so on |
05 points |
|
EFFECTS
| The ol' "razzle-dazzle". Special effects add a factor of 'shock and awe'. Particle emitters, ribbon emitters, and sometimes geometry (such as shockwave planes or 3d-debris) are part of the animation process, but their implementation is less essential. However, good effects can greatly increase the quality of a model. |

Inviting your friends to vote for you, bribing random members with rep and otherwise cheating with the VB poll system will get you DISQUALIFIED, BANNED from future contests, -REPPED, and possibly INFRACTED. So don't do it!
This includes, but is not limited to, sending PMs out to various users, getting other people to send those PMs, advertising this contest on other sites with the intention to gain more votes (whether it is explicitly stated or not), and so on. If you are suspected of cheating, the staff will notify you and interrogate you (hopefully) over PMs.
Same result.
