A very fine, very comprehensive set of auras. Simple, but very well executed. Good job on the team work.

Interesting experiment in trying to recreate particle emitters with bones but unfinished. One of the benefits is that particles don't scale with the model but bones do.
I think the bone animations should be in different equidistant phases, creating a more consistant movement, rather than all expanding at once and then staying still until the animation resets.
Also you should animate the transparency so that the circles fade out when reaching the edges, instead of abruptly vanishing.

Here's my attempt (the transparency animation looks incorrect in Magos but correct in SanityTester):

I think there should be a better death animation instead of just disappearing, and the waves should be more explosive, rapidly expanding first and then slowing down. I too feel it's a bit barren, what's your vision for this model stan0033? Maybe add a glow radiating upwards or something.

The thunder wave aura could use some work, doesn't really like a thunder wave aura. Aside from that, the rest of the auras are useful indeed!

Models have attachment points (at least most do) that can be referenced when applying Art to them -> Origin, Chest, Head, Overhead, Weapon, Hand,Left, Hand,Right, etc.

Underneath the model is called it's "origin", you can see most Aura abilities refer to this in their Art - Target field. You can use an ability like Devotion Aura as a frame of reference to better understand how to customize your Auras. Note that not every Model will have every attachment point and not every Ability will allow you to customize it's Art the way you'd like.

Maybe he wants to put the aura under the map.
 
It's like the zbuffer for me; the model isn't being drawn above it or whatever so it looks like this

Hmm. Maybe the models are not centered... EDIT: No, it's centered.

EDIT 2: Interesting, I don't know how to fix this.

EDIT 3: @Spliffurt Ah, ah, ah... The tags on the materials "no depth set" and "no depth set" should be unchecked. Damn. I will update all models.

EDIT 4: All models are updated.

There is no Team Color for Water Wave Aura, please check! biridius, stan0033

I captured images of all variations in your pack. I think we should put them (image file of each artwork) in each folder. Thought it might help for easier vision tracking when your folders swarmed by thousands of WC3 resources that there is no thumbnail from them for your explorer show.

You can use the 3D viewer of the site to see which is which.

Team color for Water Wave Aura has been fixed.
