Design and model a mechanical creature using your favorite 3D modeling software for the Warcraft III Reforged HD graphics. Your creation could be a mechanized animal, a futuristic robotic being, or anything else your imagination can tinker with! Your mechanical masterpiece should be of a fully mechanical creature i.e. no living organic matter, muscles, no beating heart at it's core. Only heat, magic or steam etc. should power your mechanical creation.
- No submission may violate any of the site rules.
- All submissions must follow the current theme (see the theme description above). If any model does not fit, a moderator will tell you as soon as possible as to avoid confusion.
- You must post at least one unfinished preview of your submission in this thread, before the deadline, as proof that it's yours.
- Your submission may not be started/made before the official launch of the contest.
- Judges may not participate.
- Your final submission must work in-game and be bug-free.
- Teamwork is not allowed.
- Model entries are allowed as long as there is a certain amount of effort put into them, and must include a Dissipate animation and Hero Glow or Decay Flesh and Decay Bone animations.
- WoW ports or models that use external material must have working ORMs and normals, and should not account for more than 10% of the model (a weapon, a piece of armor, a distinctive small geoset...). Models that are heavily influenced by external assets should be avoided, and the judges are entitled to disqualify the model if they deem it necessary.
- In order to enter the contest and be eligible to win a prize, contestants must submit their final entry to the HD Model Resource section. Remember to write in the description: "Entry for the 6th HD Modeling Contest".
- You should post a link to your entry in the contest thread along with a short description.
- 1st place: 750 experience points
- 2nd place: 600 experience points

- Judge: 25 experience points per entry
The three winners will receive an Award Icon representing the winning entry.
Winning a contest also unlocks Demon Rank icons (at least two wins is required).
- If no judges are found (at least two is required) before the deadline, the winners will be decided by the votes of a public poll. The poll results will be hidden until a person has voted. Changing your vote afterwards will not be possible.

| Mesh | How does the mesh look? How are the balance and scale? How coherent is polygon distribution? Do the shapes complement the model's theme? | /15 |
| Skin | Does the model have custom diffuses, ORMs and/or Normals? How good is the wrap? Are the textures appealing, or do they look blurry/stretched from the default game camera and portrait? Do the tones go well together? Is there sufficient contrast? Do the Normals and ORMs create proper lighting for the model? | /15 |
| Animations | Does the model have custom animations? How natural, smooth, and appropriate are the animations? Do they have character/personality? How well are they executed? Does the model have enough animations to function properly? | /15 |
| Integration/ Optimization | How well does the model work in-game? Does it feature the necessary attachments, footprints, sounds, and collisions? Does it have a working FaceFX? Is it optimised for minimal disk usage? Does it have enough Team Colour? | /15 |
| Theme | How well does the model follow the contest theme? | /15 |
| Effects | Does the model make use of emmissives, effects, ribbons, or additional custom models (i.e. projectiles/spells)? How well are they implemented? Does the model make use of fresnel, visibility or other .mdl edits? | /5 |

Mechanical DragonThis is my entrance to the 6th Hive HD Modeling Contest, hope you like this mighty mechanical dragon. (Not the typical WoW mechanical dragon, it is more in a Starcraft style, wings are team colored, consider it a secret weapon of Mengsk.)
