Damizean Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Dear SFGHQ: As some of you might have seen I've got a pretty sweet old-school model in my avatar. Since I've finally decided to release it to the public I'll explain what is it: when Chris Senn released the Sonic model he made for Sonic Xtreme's PC art, I automatically felt in love with it. The problem with that model was, though, that it was made using separated primitives (and had a ultra-high poly count). Seeing it would be unpractical to use anywhere, I then started remaking the model from scratch, using this one as reference, for personal fun. As all my models, my target was to create a new clean mesh, suitable for use in games and a good old-school alternative for the overused Sonic Heroes model. And so, with some help of SefirothDB, it ended up being this awesome model, using only 2.8k triangles while looking round enough Ok, this is a mesh-smoothed version, but it looks cool too. So, as for the license, I'll be releasing it as Creative Commons, so check the license.txt. If used, give credit Damizean, SefirothDB and to Chris Senn (well, maybe this one's optional) Download it from here -Enjoy! Edit: Typing errors Edit Mark 2: Link fixed, license changed to the one wich doesn't allow commercial usage (since Sonic it's a copyrighted character) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SefirothDB Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 At first I thought the model in the image was actually just 2.8k triangles <.< And yes, people. Use it instead of the Heroes crap if possible plz >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Helper Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 That looks so sweet. Old school sonic always seems more colourful and vibrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 "And yes, people. Use it instead of the Heroes crap if possible plz >_>" That'd be kind of hard being that this is only a Sonic model. For the type of stuff we've seen here (the best example being the two mods currently being worked on) they'd need a whole set of at least Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Now if Sef released his models (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, etc) then yes. Dami: Awesome as always, and I had Chris Senn's model at one point. Couldn't get it to open in Blender 3D, and I suck at 3DSMax. I'm going to have to obtain Maya. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SefirothDB Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 [...] they'd need a whole set of at least Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Coming... perhaps in a not so distant future <.< No, seriously, I'll prolly do something for SFGHQ when I get some actual free time for 3Ds. Maybe. Now if Sef released his models (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, etc) then yes. You'd wish =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Chaos Zero Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 The only term to describe how awesome that model is, is "sex". Your model, is sex. That's how good it is. Great job Dami, keep up the great work, a lot of people appreciate what you're doing with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twimfy Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Nice model, I might consider using it in STCTG if I ever start it back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Make an oldschool Shadow first just for kicks... because I doubt thats something we'll ever see elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Why is his hand cut off like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null1024 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I love it, but it's too shiny (or mabye Anim8or is making it very shiny) Also, I had to re-affix his hand... That's strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Uh, Dami's model isn't shiny at all, mei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null1024 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Uh, Dami's model isn't shiny at all, mei. Ok, so it is Anim8or's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I find something incredibly off with the feet as well. In any event, I still prefer the current generation style to the old style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 You, DW, are the Demi-god of uber model creation. I love you so hard for this. Ive been waiting for sonicteam to do this for years. Now i COMMAND you to make an old-school Knuckles model and redo Mushroom Hill of Sonic & Knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Did you just say DW? Dami made this. And how in the world did you doublepost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Thunderstorm Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Lol serephim. You pwned youself. Damizean made this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Everything but the feet. The feet are oogly. Far too round. I mean, they have to be flat at the bottom. I love everything else though. Especially the hard edge on the eyebrow. I love that it isn't rounded. It looks so much better like that IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDoo Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Very cool model. I'm going to see what i can do with it. Thanks. Edit: He... err.. only has one hand when i import it into Milkshape. Edit2: Wait, found it, it's under the other hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 another small discrepancy: Like in the newschool style, Sonic's body spines don't start at the base. http://www.zonesega.com/covers/megadrive/Sonic%20The%20Hedgehog%202%20%5BEUR%5D.jpg http://www.zonesega.com/covers/megadrive/Sonic%20The%20Hedgehog%203%20%5BEUR%5D.jpg http://www.zonesega.com/covers/megadrive/Sonic%20The%20Hedgehog%20%5BEUR%5D.jpg As you can see from the Sonic 1 box, the eyes also do have a little bit of that curve Koray dislikes so much. And these are some of the reasons I also think that people are crazy to think that the oldschool style is so much different from the current one.
