Mesh - How does the mesh look aesthetically?

The Mesh is really well made. Both the rider and the mount have good proportions. Although i have to say that the Mounts head could use more Polygons.

The Model is very good animated, however both walk animations need more work. For example between the frames of the walk animation the mount's feet clip into the ground.

I like the idea of an ancient, undead Sand Lord. Being a noble Lord forgotton in time would surely make him proud. Also to my knowlegde the Idea of an Ancient Undead Sandlord is new, but the Idea of a Skeleton riding something is not. So Kudos for the Idea.

Mesh [12/15]:
Mesh looks good, particularly the mesh for the animated textures, which manages to not stretch the hieroglyphs too much. Some parts might not have needed so much details, like the dog's ribcage, which will hardly be seen ingame, but that is hardly a problem with reforged here and the low-poly nature of the model. You've done very well with the low-poly tricks overall, using single two-sided planes where you could get away with it. Mesh is very big for the game, but it seems to be a minor issue since none of the emitters is seriously messed up if scaled to hero size.
Skin [8/15]:
The dogs face in particular leaves something to be desired. This is usually the issue when dealing with only-ingame texture models where a specific part just does not exist in the game. Otherwise it looks pretty good, there are some other minorly stretched textures, but they are less noticeable places. The limitations of ingame-only-textures is what hampers the model the most, and it could really have been amazing with even a simple one made particularly for it.
Animations [13/15]:
Animations is very well made. Nicely made custom animations, and everything necessary seems to be there. The dissipate has a bit of an issue with the particle emitters disappearing in an unnatural way, but otherwise it looked better than I expected when I viewed it in the model editor.
Effects [13/15]:
Effects looks good, there are not a lot of particle emitters, but what is there looks good and is on par with the particle emitters already in the game. The green light from the face adds a nice touch to the model in the animations where it is used. Also the dissipate and sand effects look good, and the green ghosts in the staff.
Mechanics [5/10]:
I can see the collision sphere is at 0,0,0 and not big enough to be really relevant, which is quite sad as it means the top part of the model is not selectable ingame. It luckily did not affect the position of the life and mana bar significantly. Otherwise the model seems functional.
Theme [13/15]:
A cool looking mounted unit. The models fit eachother thematically, and in quality. It is clear which unit is rider, and which unit is the mount.
Creativity [9/15]:
It is a creative execution, although the theme already exists outside of warcraft 3. It could probably fit seamlessly in a WarHammer Tomb Kings army. Still, the fact that it does not already exist counts for a lot.

Skin [8/15]:
The dogs face in particular leaves something to be desired. This is usually the issue when dealing with only-ingame texture models where a specific part just does not exist in the game. Otherwise it looks pretty good, there are some other minorly stretched textures, but they are less noticeable places. The limitations of ingame-only-textures is what hampers the model the most, and it could really have been amazing with even a simple one made particularly for it.
Animations [13/15]:
Animations is very well made. Nicely made custom animations, and everything necessary seems to be there. The dissipate has a bit of an issue with the particle emitters disappearing in an unnatural way, but otherwise it looked better than I expected when I viewed it in the model editor.
Effects [13/15]:
Effects looks good, there are not a lot of particle emitters, but what is there looks good and is on par with the particle emitters already in the game. The green light from the face adds a nice touch to the model in the animations where it is used. Also the dissipate and sand effects look good, and the green ghosts in the staff.
Mechanics [5/10]:
I can see the collision sphere is at 0,0,0 and not big enough to be really relevant, which is quite sad as it means the top part of the model is not selectable ingame. It luckily did not affect the position of the life and mana bar significantly. Otherwise the model seems functional.
Theme [13/15]:
A cool looking mounted unit. The models fit eachother thematically, and in quality. It is clear which unit is rider, and which unit is the mount.
Creativity [9/15]:
It is a creative execution, although the theme already exists outside of warcraft 3. It could probably fit seamlessly in a WarHammer Tomb Kings army. Still, the fact that it does not already exist counts for a lot.
Mesh [13/15]:
Good looking and adequate mesh. No obvious mistakes or issues. There is always a discussion to be had whether or not you should remove triangles never seen in the game, but that is not super significant after the remake. Good use of 2d planes. The horse in particular is very well made, and are not the same two meshes everybody else seems to reuse over and over again. The back-chain should probably have been billboarded in some way, so it does not disappear from certain angles. The side chains however are good, since they are angled upwards, and most wc3 maps uses a top down camera. Overall a good looking low-poly mesh.
Skin [11/15]:
Nice use of ingame textures. Particularly the horses mane, and what you have done with the bandit mages face. The chest could have used another side texture, since it is so big, and therefore noticeable. I like all of the details. Well done.
Animations [12/15]:
All necessary animations are there. They generally look good. The mage's lower torso is very stiff, should probably have had a boon at the end of the legs, so he wasn't as glued to the wagon. That is however pretty minor. You have a good understanding of how objects interact when the cart moves around. Good job.
Effects [10/15]:
Particles is pretty sparse, but look good. Not a lot of eye-candy, that is not strictly speaking necessary. Colorwise the model animations seem to fit the archmage spells, I don't know if this was intentional, but cool nevertheless.
Mechanics [6/10]:
The collision shapes are too small, so a large part of the back of the cart is not selectable ingame. Otherwise there seem to be no major issues. It has the necessary attachments it seems.
Theme [13/15]:
Nice to see a cart among the entries. It is clear to see what are the rider, cart and mount. Models fit well together thematically and quality wise.
Creativity [9/15]:
We have a serious lag of carts in THW, so it is always nice to see another. Fits well with the other bandit themed models on the site. Creative enough.

Mesh [14/15]:
Excellent mesh, a lot of details. Nice use of billboarded planes for glow effect. No visible issues that detract from the design. Good job.
Skin [14/15]:
Very well made custom textures that works very well with the mesh. Nothing negative to say about it.
Animations [15/15]:
The model have an abundance of great animations. A lot of eye-candy. I can see no significant flaws in any of them. Great job!
Effects [11/15]:
Particles is pretty sparse, but works well with the glow effects. A cheap way to make some fancy effects. Has all the particles you would expect.
Mechanics [8/10]:
There is a lot of translations and rotations that is not used in any sequences. Makes me thing you deleted some sequences without cleaning up afterwards. Just adds empty space to the model. This obviously does nothing negative for the model ingame, except that the model gets a larger filesize and the file gets more bloated. Otherwise good job.
Theme [13/15]:
Very nice theme. Models fit together. It is clear which model is rider, and which model is mount.
Creativity [10/15]:
Unique iteration of a pretty common theme. It is always nice to see well-made gnome models, and well made female models. So good job, creative enough.

Effects [12/15]:
Not a lot of particle emitters, but those that I see are used well. Great use of ribbon emitters. Great way to use the best suited effects for their purposes. Well done
Mechanics [9/10]:
A lot of minor issues that have little-to-no effect on actual gameplay. No major issues, like unselectable parts, etc. Good job.
Theme [13/15]:
Mount and rider fit together. Thematically and quality-wise fitting models. Good job.
Creativity [10/15]:
A creative spin on the classic night-elf panther combo. Not a lot of illidari on the site, so nice addition.

Theme [11/15]:
It is clear to see it is a form of tank. Model blends together, but that is how vehicles work. The panda could have been a little more discernible however.
Creativity [14/15]:
Well, can say I expected a panda in a scorpion-lightning-tank. Not sure if there is a wide range of use cases, but that is not being judged here. Very creative!

Mesh [12/15]:
Good mesh. Excellent use of planes for 2d effects, especially on attacks. Rarely seen to this extent in wc3. The mesh is overall well made, without being overly- or under detailed.
Skin [10/15]:
Good custom skin. Could use a bit of details, like fur tips, robe folds, etc. The model looks a bit plain, but a lot more detail than originally. Good job
Animations [14/15]:
Great looking detailed animations. A lot of attention is put into gestures and attacks. Very well made.
Effects [14/15]:
Good use of particles and other effects. His attacks actually look like they would hurt. Well done!
Mechanics [7/10]:
The lack of collision shapes causes the model to have a very large selection radius. Nothing too damning, but it were noticeable ingame. Does seem to have all the required attachment points, etc.
Theme [12/15]:
Clearly a panda riding a cloud. The cloud could have been done another way, but it does not seriously detract from the theme. Well done.
Creativity [11/15]:
Always nice to have more pandas. Adequately creative. A blademaster / wukong panda variant with buddhistic monk themes.
