To clear up a few frequent misunderstandings (that may or may not carry into these comments): Sonic Heroes has my preferred design for Sonic so I wanted to make a CG-Animation ready rig for him- that's all. This is NOT for a Fangame nor a project to make more "HD Heroes" Characters for Blender. So, making more "HD Heroes" characters is not in my plans unless commissioned. You're more than welcome to use this in your own projects with the proper crediting. You're also welcome to make your own *inspired* HD Heroes characters like this guy took the initiative to do (HD Heroes Shadow- th-cam.com/video/h56clS8vL8o/w-d-xo.html)
Definitely. Even though he’s a game character who takes time to animate, he’s got **some** cartoon in him, so why not go that extra mile to make it aesthetically pleasing and quirky like that?
0:54 The improvements to the rig that let you create these expressions with Sonic is incredible! Being able to see his emotions like this instead of a still body with no facial changes is a huge step up The universal mouth always moving seamlessly depending on the camera angle is also an animation detail that I'll always love in these Sonic animations (also I'm commenting again after seeing this is an extended version of the short)
Nice detail of the same pose Sonic uses when you use the laser wisp at 0:02. Always wonderful seeing the universal mouth! I love that you can actually make him expressive, so many models in Sonic games don’t have the same expressibility that yours does. The eyebrows and eyelids being able to actually be moveable and utilized is a breath of fresh air. The ability to move and pose his ears is something I wish Sonic games would include more- 😭 And as always, the animations have expertly characterized acting :) Always a treat to see your work The ending made me chuckle- 😂
This man looks CLEAN! I really wish this model was in an actual Sonic game, this model looks so fluid and expressive and I love it. Great job on this Sonic.👍🦔
You made this at the best possible time. I had a similar idea for a project and you did so much hard work to figure this out, and I really appreciate your willingness to share everything you learned. Thank you a ton! Don't be afraid to make in-depth tutorials for this project, I would be all over it!
They need this kind of animations in current sonic games and that model is way better than what they currently have, it kinda reminds me of prime bunt better

@@KamauKianjahe but that would be very useful like imagine if you're doing a series with this sonic model where sonic couldn't deal with the final treat even with his super form an he has to go further beyond to face the final treat like if SATAM robotnik has returned and he built a giant OP robot to eliminate sonic .

@@alternatesonicgameplays3851 whoever attempts to make an animation that epic will likely have the knowhow to create that form themselves within the model. It's not solely my responsibility.
@@crypticaledits Im not sure because it’s an issue with the new blender versions that i haven’t looked into yet. Last stable version for this model was 3.6
@@KamauKianjahe ok thanks for the reply! it doesnt matter too much since im mostly using this for animations and I kind of like the look of the glossy shoes too. It just looks really cool in my opinion
I will not make a tutorial, because if you understand posing then you should be able to make it with no special tricks. Just create one pose of sonic curled then rotate it around a center point. 3D cursor works well for this
@@thiagovich3690 Thanks. I recommend using the hipCTRL only to pose the body into the spinball position then use the hip root to animate the rotation. For a visual reference, i also recommend looking at DANCADA’s classic sonic rig. He has a built in pose for spinballs
sorry to ask more questions but when i append the sonic collection to another blender file it doesn't have eyes, even if i click the eye display thing in the shader editor
Sorry to bother you but i am very new to blender and have two problems i don't know how to solve, those being that i don't understand how to bring the rig into another project and that i have no idea how to move his eyes.
@@truespeed-NA No worries. I believe the read-me in the blend file has instructions on how to append the model. You should read the rest too if you’re new To move the eyes you have to select the eye bones and move those. Youll only see them move if you’re in textured or rendered mode
@@KamauKianjahe Thanks, it looks unbelievable by the way. It really shows the youth and overconfidence of early 2000's Sonic's character that we all love.
Make sure you're using a 3.0+ version of blender and have the blender assets cat file in the same folder as the blend file. If you're appending the rig, follow the directions in the read me

Can you do a classic Sonic model

The fact that he’s mouth can smoothly change the position from side to centre, that is one of the details that makes me really happy to see 🙏😌
I always believed that's how Sonic's(and anyone with a mouth like his) mouth should work
Yeah
Way better than two mouth sonic model from generations
Definitely. Even though he’s a game character who takes time to animate, he’s got **some** cartoon in him, so why not go that extra mile to make it aesthetically pleasing and quirky like that?

Absolutely gorgeous. He looks outstanding

This model or the Unleashed Model have to be my favorite versions as they aim to replicate the sonic adventure box art style and I’m all here for it
It's not heroes sonic, he doesn't look like he's completely submerged in Vaseline.
I think thats the point
You're doing God's work.

Amazing rig
This is incredible.
If only Sonic Team put this much effort into their Sonic models. 😭
Yo this is so siiick ❤
Im like it this is pretty sick!
I will always dream for the day when Sonic's shoe buckle will be done properly.
It’s actually super weird how different Sonic looks when his mouth is in the middle vs on the side of his mouth.
This so fascinating lol
I can tell bro has put lots of work, would definitely pay 1000 if I have blender
This should really be the model they use in the games.

This model is not compatible with any Blender 4 version. The download page on ko-fi explicitly lists the compatible versions
