Grading Scale

This is the Scale I use to grade the texture packs that I decide to review. Please note that a lot of what I say is my own personal opinion!

I grade on a scale of 1-5, and anything in between (2.3, 4.7, etc.). The final score is an average of the different categories.

Smoothness
Five: The texture pack flows very well and does not show any choppy edges or odd pixels in its formation. It does not have odd creases or on the edges of blocks it seems to jump color schemes.
Four: The texture pack flows well and only shows little or reasonable choppy edges or odd pixel placement in the formation. It looks well when viewed from afar, but flaws are noticed up close.
Three: The texture pack flows sometimes but it seems to cut off on edges. Pixels appear to be sloppily placed on the edges or corners. Even from afar you may notice a difference.
Two: The texture pack has significant flaws and only flows smoothly sometimes. The surface appears to cut off on the edges and mountains may look a bit odd when blocks converge with the higher blocks next to it.
One: The texture pack has obvious and very distracting flaws and rarely flows smoothly. There is little definition on the edges and seems as if it would look better only if there was one block there. It is very choppy.

Colors
Five: The colors are perfectly placed, each one decided for the block with high consideration and a notable flow in colors can be seen.
Four: The colors are excellently placed, with most of them colored with the same scheme in mind. It rarely appears that some blocks are discolored.
Three: The colors are relatively well, however some of the colors appear random or as if they don't belong. You may encounter strange looking blocks.
Two: The colors do not flow well. A lot of them look out of place, and it may be difficult to tell one block from another.
One: The colors do not flow at all. Most of them are completely random and are just plain horrible color choices on the blocks.

Style
Five: The style of the texture pack is maintained throughout all the blocks. You can tell a sense of creativity and effort put into it. The blocks have definite appearances, and look nice when you try to build something with them!
Four: There is a nice style and sense of hotness in the Texture Pack. Most of the time it will all seem to be designed just fine. Rarely will you encounter an oddball block in the texture pack.
Three: There is a scheme of style to the texture pack, but a lot of the blocks don't seem to follow it. It may look nice in certain situations, but with other blocks it will ruin the style of it.
Two: There is not much of a style to the texture pack. You cannot legibly tell if there is a creative influence to it and may sometimes get confused on what block is which.
One: The texture pack lacks a definite style and does not seem to follow a goal of some sort. The blocks appear like other kinds and it is difficult to not notice them. It has no creativity in it, or little.

View
Five: Looked out upon a mountaintop, the general demeanor of the surrounding area has a strong adjective that can correlate to it. Whether it is beautiful, fantastic, unique, or stylish, it has a great view.
Four: Looked out upon a mountaintop, the texture pack looks exquisite and has a nice view to it. You notice beauty and there is little flaws to cause much of an eyesore.
Three: The view on the mountaintop is average. There is a bit of a view to it but somethings stand out unwanted and may cause an eyesore.
Two: Parts of the view are mediocre or could be called ugly. There is not much of a view to it and I think it is unattractive. Lots of eyesores!
One: The view is disgusting and I hate looking at it. Every time I look out at the view, I die a little inside. Get to work on that please.

Other
Five: Other things such as lighting, convergence, and biome differentiation are easily visible.
Four: Other things are visible.
Three: Other things are somewhat visible.
Two: Other things are not very visible.
One: Other things are not visible.


I will be using this scale to grade just about every texture pack. Note I will not compare, as comparing a 16x16 and a 256x256 in terms of beauty is not fair, so I will grade it assuming it is the only texture pack in the world. Look forward for more!
