Not gonna lie, I'd totally play a Sonic game with that kind of toon shaded/cel shading aesthetic. You pulled off a nice rendition of the model by still keeping it low poly but modern.
If they were to remake the games I think it would look better in that style then making it look modern/realistic Also for Sega it would cost less due to needing less detail so it won't come out rushed lol
@@JesseVlogs you should look into the spark the electric jester game series, made from a fan who loves sonic and based the game mechanics around it, also has a similar style to the video
Weird thing i'm obsessed with about this animation is the way it's choreographed feels so realistic. The way he jumps startled when he first gets shot at. The way after he slide so on the machine, and he hops off- he has to touch the ground to maintain his balance.
This captures exactly how I imagined Sonic in my head as a kid. You’d think this would be a natural progression in the game’s style, cuz it fits so well. Amazing work.
This would actully be really cool, imagine if we had SA1 and SA2 remakes, but then they really embrace the anime vibes and make the game in this 2D animation like style
I NEED this in my life. SADX is 2nd to SA2B in terms of the GOAT sonic games idgaf what anyone says. Just a SA2 remake with this beautiful artstyle in this clip with online, visiting other players chao lobbys/bring ur own chao, add a few more shadow levels, add mech-less tails and eggman segments, fix the great amount of jank the game has and youd have the sonic game everyone wants
@@123451234alex one thing that I would love is if, we could use the avatar from Sonic Forces on the chao garden, imagine the chao drawing your character with crayon on the ground
I gave up being a Sonic fan after over a decade of stale, conservative, lifeless Sonic stuff. But this really reminded me of the fire that used to burn in my heart for this character. It was truly incredible and everything I wish the series would go for in terms of Aesthetics and dynamism. Thanks for reminding a lapsed fan like me why I loved Sonic in the first place. Phenomenal work.
I've only ever played Adventure 2 my whole life. I did have Shadow the Hedgehog and Secret Rings, but I never really even got to play them anyways since discs are fragile and scratch easy. Regardless of what some Sonic games did to Sonic, I still loved the idea of the blue blur anyways I did get to play and complete Mania, Generations, and Adventure 2 on PC. One of my biggest mistakes, is buying Sonic on PC.. The devs don't give a single sit about Sonic on PC. They're WAY less broken on other platforms! I really wanted to play generations but it's unbearably unoptimized and buggy. Game-breaking glitches and crashes. I've been soft-locked a few times. My controller just randonly stopped working bcuz the game switched to MnK mid game, so I had to force close the game and relaunch it. So many issues.. Adventure 2 was glitchy AF, but tolerable. Cutscenes were out of sync. Did have to force close the game a few times when it glitched Mania black screened my PC when switching audio outputs while game is running. Edit: Issue was fixed. Twas a Windows thing) And seeing Colors Ultimate just killed it for me.. I have higher performance expectations for Frontiers on my Switch than I do as a PC port smdh But despite how broken Sanic games are, I'mma still play them anyways bcuz I end up enjoying them
Same. I loved Sonic as a kid, then fell out of it hard as a teen, then fell back in love with the movie as an adult. It's funny how we go through phases like that
I stopped liking sonic years ago but I still play mania a little bit but I left sonic for SpongeBob games instead dunno why but its very additive for me to do SpongeBob’s laugh :/
God this is too awesome I never imagined how cool Yuji Uekawa's shading in 3D looks With just 7 seconds i'm convinced this should be a main art direction You did great pal
Welcome back Legend! For a 7 second animation, it still show you progessed a lot since then. Like, I could hardly believe it was done by one person after you showed your workflow.
Seven seconds of pure magic! I loved the sparks, the little flinch he made upon getting shot at, all the facial expressions, everything was wonderfully immersive. Makes me appreciate every second of amazing action animation, like those great scenes from rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles
That animation was incredible. And the amount of work that went into those 7 seconds. I wanted more, but at the same time I got a sense that it’d take years to make a full video.
Designing stuff takes lots of time, doing stuff from scratch using reference images. Crazy how many people don't know the dedication it takes to make games, animation, and gcode for printing objects.
Thank you for making a video like this! I actually didn't think about rendering stuff like this at separate layers in blender. This was very educational.
This is so cool man, you’ve inspired me to actually get into modeling and animation, I’m going to install blender later this afternoon. Thank you so much
this model of sonic truly feels so cool and badass. I feel like recent sonic models make him look cheesy and don't make him out to be as "cool" as before. The animation on this is also amazing and refreshing. Love the way you made his spikes and shoes
Holy hell man, this is AMAZING. I have only a rudimentary understanding of 3D modeling and rigging from a college stint in animation, but I’m still impressed by the sense of style you gave Sonic’s action here- not just the throwback to Uekawa with the filters for an outline and inverted edges, but the 2D additions with the comic-book esque “impact” effects all over. Everything about these seven seconds is oozing with a sense of life and energy that I would ADORE seeing in a fully-fledged Sonic game. You should be proud of everything you accomplished in this, it’s professional-quality stuff!
Your portion of the video was honestly some of the most stellar animation I’ve ever seen. The dynamic movements and the effects that accompany them just pack so much punch that I could damn well loop it another 30 times and still feel the same way. I hope you continue to improve your craft, whether that be making more animations for the channel or finding working in the industry and making a name for yourself. You are an individual rife with potential no matter how you choose to move forward, and don’t let no one tell you different.
It's been 5 years! Super glad to see your still animating. This part caught my eye during the reimagined video because of how good it looked. I cant believe I didn't notice your name on it.
The fact that someone can do animation like this is incredibly impressive. When I first saw the clip my mouth literally dropped in awe. Amazing work man.
I love this so much! You really portrayed Uewaka's Sonic art style very accurately, so much that this looks like an official piece of work by him! This also has a feel that ironically reminds of me of Sonic X/ anime media (in general). Good work!
While SEGA has been plummeting down over the years, the community itself has been thriving and I love seeing what people have done with my favorite character. Doesn’t matter if it’s concept art, Reviews, fan games or even Amazing redesigns like this video. I just love seeing people who who truly love a character like I do and express it in their own way. From 5 yrs old to 21 my Passion for my favorite character gets bigger and bigger and a huge reason for that is the community 🙌……THANK YOU!!!!
First 12 seconds of the video: INSTANT LIKE What a stunning animation! In 7 seconds, you managed to show why Sonic is so damn cool. Impressive skills, admirable effort. I'll stick around...
Dude, everything about this video is perfect. The animation itself, the breakdown of it, everything, man. This actually to give me the hope and inspiration that maybe I could do something like this on Blender one day. Hell, this even gave me hope as a Sonic fan. Good job!
Love that you made this! I've been dying to know how you did everything! The fact that you made that Sonic Rig from scratch is amazing. I feel like this is asking a lot, but I would love to animate that sonic model myself. I'd be more than willing to pay you, if that helps! With all that being said, you really knocked it out of the park with this animation! You captured Sonic's speed and cool factor perfectly! I can't wait to see more!
in my opinion, although this animation is stellar and chimera has all the reasons for sega to hire him, i think that corporate greed is gonna make him do a bunch of stuff in a short amount of time and it would make his work turn out pretty sloppy you're free to disagree with me, i'm not into the adult life yet
This just popped up on my RUclips feed and I'm glad I clicked on it. As an old-school Sonic Fan and professional Blender user, this video really floats my boat! The style of this video looks incredible! If only Sega put this much care and attention into their modern games. I'd love to see a Sonic game with this vibe throughout!
This looks extremely amazing. You capture exactly how fast he is while making him seem like an organic being - too often Sonic just becomes a "I run forward extremely fast at this set speed" but the fact that he bounces and moves his body makes it seem like he's comfortable manipulating his body at that high speed. Also the shading looks fucking gorgeous. I want this to be the standard for Sonic stuff from now on.
Easily my favorite clip from the colab, awesome work! If someone mods this model into Frontiers or any other sonic game in the future, I'll definitely be having it on all the time
Just came up in my recommendations. Those 7 seconds of animation brought so much nostalgia of when I played it on the GameCube, with 3 other siblings. We would raise our own Chao, or help each other on stages, or actually play the multi-player. Thank you for creating and sharing your process, it did bring me happiness to my day.
Damn, must feel nice. Had to beat the game on my own, sister and brother refused to play with me, shee step dad and mom said nah. I aint get help, had to use google.
Still crazy to see just how capable Blender is now. I’ve been learning Maya and Unreal Engine for school rn and even I wish I had time to learn Blender on the side for this stuff
@@TheOscarGamer_ the CGI cutscenes in modern sonic games (i'm assuming that's what you're talking about) aren't by sega though. i'm 80% certain it was all done by marza animation planet.
This looks absolutely beautiful and very visually appealing it has that cartoony look but yet combined with the 3-D look like shell shading I absolutely love this concept I think that may be sick I should consider making a game with this type of render in mind as a throw back to early game designs from the early 2000’s while still Incorporating that modern aesthetic and you put a lot of time into this it seems and that’s really good you did a banger job man thumbs up to you bro
I always enjoy watching how a project comes together as it is, so that alone was nice to see. But then the cherry on top for me was seeing how you showed how messy your nodes were, and and then at the end you gave some encouraging comments about how you have an older computer but you were still able to make a great animation, and how even though it took a long time it was worth it because it could make someone happy. This video was helpful in many ways, thank you! 💙
This is actually so impressive and looks like it could be in a movie of some sort, i love how you made a detailed video on how you made it and what your process was. keep it up!
Everything about this is just incredible. I’m way more experienced in the 2D side of things but I recently started messing around in blender. This video showed me so much of what it’s capable of. Don’t even worry about the nodes bro…nodes are sucha nightmare for me but you seem to know your way around em.
you are amazingly talented. I am genuinely impressed with this. from a sonic fan to a sonic fan. keep up the amazing work. Sega should hire you. if all sonic cutscenes were this good the games would be something else
Man, after I saw your work on the SA2: Reimagined video, I thought I'd come over to your channel. Then I saw your One Piece fan animation from 5 years ago from now, and then I saw this. That is some massive improvement over those 5 years. You have more than earned a subscription from me.
HOLY SHIZZ!! WHY DOES THIS LOOK SO AWESOME?!?! Stuff like this is the reason why i like animation SO. MUCH. I was straight up geeking out the whole video! This is exactly what i want the Sonic franchise to look like moving forward, thank you so much for this video mah dude!
You did an excellent job in your scene and it was actually one of my favorites in the collab. I’m still a noob in blender but I do want to make awesome stuff like this 👍
i could literally watch the animation ona loop for forever. holy shit the little details, especially Sonic looking back when he gets shot at . amazing, spectacular, all the words!
I absolutely love the styling and speed of it, really captures the hedgehog perfectly. If they ever came out with a game that looked like this I'd play it over art style alone. Great job!
Holymoly this is legit helpful in the long run for me. I'm learning to animate in Blender, and seeing someone's workflow like this really helps a lot! Thanks for sharing! Kickass animation btw
This was for sure something very impressive, I just remember to enjoy Sonic so much that I never imagine, not even dimension it, all the work that is behinde the scene, I wasnt realize about how ignorant Im about produce all this kind of material. I perfectly remember how enjoy Sonic in my life, the very deep story behind the game in SA2B and their amazing soundtrack that I still listent to this days. Thank you so much for share this with us, it makes me feel a lot of things inside of me hahaha
I love this! the way sonic moves looks amazing and the animation is so smooth! i also really like the way sonic is made to look like the Uekawa art! :D
Goodness so much care and thought went into this, those 7 seconds of glory left me wanting a whole game or show like this. Great choice to go with the longer quills, well done!!!
Bro you high key a menace. Worked on the modeling, rigging, animation and compisting (with a node base program). Congrats broddy, the scene came out looking incredible.
I think this popped up on my feed since I re-imagined Sonic's design on my channel, but I'm glad I found this! It came out so awesome! As short as it was, you captured so much great speed, intensity, and personality with Sonic! Great job, Chimera!
UGH IM SO GLAD I CAN SEE THE PROCESS, you literally did everything FROM SCRATCH, HOW COOL IS THAT?? I'm just so idk INSPIRED, I study animations and they are teaching me how to do 3D model, at first I didn't think I'll be good at it until I saw your channel, all I needed was inspiration and hope, and now I'm happy with all the progress I made through this 2 years of college, THIS is the time of animation wanna give!
Very nicely made. Also it's a whole new Sonic run type. Low to the ground for most of the animation to stay as a smaller target against the enemies, I love that.
I discovered your channel because YT recommended me your video and I really liked your animation, I liked Sonic since I was a kid and I'm recently trying to learn how to use Blender to model and animate. I took a look through your channel and saw your first animations, your progress is brutal! I'm still trying to make a character walk convincingly, and this is inspiring! Thanks for sharing it!
dude ! if this was all from u then , hats fkin off like daamn this is cleaaaaaan af !! what a smooth render man , the animation is S tier even the mix up between 2D and 3D using toon shaders was great ! the models are nice and accurate .. really good job man keep it up ! (btw i wrote this before i watch the steps and now after i finished the video i can proudly say , thanks for making my day , it's pretty much appreciated , i lost determination eventually and this helped me to bring it back a lot ! )
Chimera, I subscribed and came here just to say that you are absolutely cracked as an animator and I hope you get hired onto a really successful job doing animation because holy moly, so smooth-
Whoa! When I first saw the my eyes dropped in awe. Because this part caught my eye during the remember video how good it looked. My favourite Sonic! Your work by saying how short it is. Amazing of the best work!👍
I’ve thought for a long time that sonic would look far better cell shaded. This video confirms that it would work. Amazing work, really makes you appreciate those 7 seconds how much work this takes.
I remember when I watched the collab and I saw this part, I actually had to replay it to see if I saw what I thought I saw! This is the best scene I've ever seen in ANY collab! I have no doubt it took over 100 hours. You are truly a legend!
Hey don't feel bad about "just 7 seconds", this was really well done! The models, the textures, the shading, and the animation were all really well done, and just the style I like! As an animator myself, I know how painstaking and how long "just 7 seconds" can be to make. Keep up the good work! I'd love to see more from you!
YES!!! THIS IS THE BEST ANIMATION I'VE EVER SEEN FOR SONIC! This is what Sonic should look like when he's moving, this is why I've never liked the garbage work from Paramount Pictures. They haven't understood that Sonic isn't easy to hit or capture. The flexibility he has when he is moving so fast, the ability to dodge at high speeds, his fast reaction. This 7 second is better than the entire first movie and the new one even though it's still not yet out. Keep up astonishing work and never let frustration make you give up your great work, instead keep going forward with your art. Oh god, this is by far the smoothest animation for Sonic since Sonic Unleashed.
This has shades of Sonic CD and the first Sonic Unleashed cutscene. I really need to step up my game to come anywhere close to this level of commitment and skill. Well done, Bravo!

Me too it fits so well
I DESPERATELY want an Adventure trilogy done with this style man. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND EPIC!!!
Im guessing you have played dbz kakarot because it's very similar in style and so yummy to look at
If they were to remake the games I think it would look better in that style then making it look modern/realistic
Also for Sega it would cost less due to needing less detail so it won't come out rushed lol
@@JesseVlogs you should look into the spark the electric jester game series, made from a fan who loves sonic and based the game mechanics around it, also has a similar style to the video

I always enjoy watching how a project comes together as it is, so that alone was nice to see. But then the cherry on top for me was seeing how you showed how messy your nodes were, and and then at the end you gave some encouraging comments about how you have an older computer but you were still able to make a great animation, and how even though it took a long time it was worth it because it could make someone happy. This video was helpful in many ways, thank you! 💙
Bruh, 7 seconds of pure heaven.
This is actually so impressive and looks like it could be in a movie of some sort, i love how you made a detailed video on how you made it and what your process was. keep it up!
Everything about this is just incredible. I’m way more experienced in the 2D side of things but I recently started messing around in blender. This video showed me so much of what it’s capable of. Don’t even worry about the nodes bro…nodes are sucha nightmare for me but you seem to know your way around em.
you are amazingly talented. I am genuinely impressed with this. from a sonic fan to a sonic fan. keep up the amazing work. Sega should hire you. if all sonic cutscenes were this good the games would be something else
Man, after I saw your work on the SA2: Reimagined video, I thought I'd come over to your channel. Then I saw your One Piece fan animation from 5 years ago from now, and then I saw this. That is some massive improvement over those 5 years. You have more than earned a subscription from me.
HOLY SHIZZ!! WHY DOES THIS LOOK SO AWESOME?!?! Stuff like this is the reason why i like animation SO. MUCH. I was straight up geeking out the whole video! This is exactly what i want the Sonic franchise to look like moving forward, thank you so much for this video mah dude!
this is AMAZING, you are so talented and gives me hope for the Sonic fandom! I want a new game in this style so badly
You did an excellent job in your scene and it was actually one of my favorites in the collab. I’m still a noob in blender but I do want to make awesome stuff like this 👍
i could literally watch the animation ona loop for forever. holy shit the little details, especially Sonic looking back when he gets shot at . amazing, spectacular, all the words!
Wow that is a gorgeous take on Sonic!! That 2D art style has always been my favorite and I love how you translated it to 3D!
Incredible work, keep going!
some of the best 7 seconds of my life
It's really cool seeing what can be done in Blender. Cool video!
I absolutely love the styling and speed of it, really captures the hedgehog perfectly. If they ever came out with a game that looked like this I'd play it over art style alone. Great job!
I would totally play this, especially the Sonic X style theme/ the SA2 style theme, incredible
Holymoly this is legit helpful in the long run for me.
I'm learning to animate in Blender, and seeing someone's workflow like this really helps a lot! Thanks for sharing!
Kickass animation btw
This was for sure something very impressive, I just remember to enjoy Sonic so much that I never imagine, not even dimension it, all the work that is behinde the scene, I wasnt realize about how ignorant Im about produce all this kind of material. I perfectly remember how enjoy Sonic in my life, the very deep story behind the game in SA2B and their amazing soundtrack that I still listent to this days. Thank you so much for share this with us, it makes me feel a lot of things inside of me hahaha
Despite your scene being 7 seconds it’s the best looking one!
I love this! the way sonic moves looks amazing and the animation is so smooth! i also really like the way sonic is made to look like the Uekawa art! :D
Goodness so much care and thought went into this, those 7 seconds of glory left me wanting a whole game or show like this. Great choice to go with the longer quills, well done!!!
It always amazes me what fans are able to put out compared to official stuff. Thanks for the fascinating look into your workflow!
This is amazing, so freaking cool. They need to hire you asap. The amination style is so perfect for sonic.
Bro you high key a menace. Worked on the modeling, rigging, animation and compisting (with a node base program). Congrats broddy, the scene came out looking incredible.
I think this popped up on my feed since I re-imagined Sonic's design on my channel, but I'm glad I found this! It came out so awesome! As short as it was, you captured so much great speed, intensity, and personality with Sonic! Great job, Chimera!
This is so awesome to see the process behind that awesome shot!
But what's even more awesome is that you made the whole thing on an old Macbook!!
UGH IM SO GLAD I CAN SEE THE PROCESS, you literally did everything FROM SCRATCH, HOW COOL IS THAT?? I'm just so idk INSPIRED, I study animations and they are teaching me how to do 3D model, at first I didn't think I'll be good at it until I saw your channel, all I needed was inspiration and hope, and now I'm happy with all the progress I made through this 2 years of college, THIS is the time of animation wanna give!
Chimera : "I used a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro"
Me : "Is it possible to learn this power ?"
Very nicely made. Also it's a whole new Sonic run type. Low to the ground for most of the animation to stay as a smaller target against the enemies, I love that.
I discovered your channel because YT recommended me your video and I really liked your animation, I liked Sonic since I was a kid and I'm recently trying to learn how to use Blender to model and animate. I took a look through your channel and saw your first animations, your progress is brutal!
I'm still trying to make a character walk convincingly, and this is inspiring!
Thanks for sharing it!
ahhhhh its so good! i love low poly models and cel/toon shading so much! good snippet of animation you made!
This is the most beautiful Sonic thing I have ever seen, amazing job
Both the visual style and the animation is simply top notch
Man rendering each layer separately must have taken FOREVER. Especially with a 2012 laptop. Major kudos and props to you bro.
This is so well made wat the
dude ! if this was all from u then , hats fkin off like daamn this is cleaaaaaan af !! what a smooth render man , the animation is S tier even the mix up between 2D and 3D using toon shaders was great ! the models are nice and accurate .. really good job man keep it up ! (btw i wrote this before i watch the steps and now after i finished the video i can proudly say , thanks for making my day , it's pretty much appreciated , i lost determination eventually and this helped me to bring it back a lot ! )
This animation style is actually very close to what I want to start doing thank you for visualizing
this is so cool, you did an amazing job on this, the motion, inertia and all. its so good
Chimera, I subscribed and came here just to say that you are absolutely cracked as an animator and I hope you get hired onto a really successful job doing animation because holy moly, so smooth-
Whoa! When I first saw the my eyes dropped in awe. Because this part caught my eye during the remember video how good it looked. My favourite Sonic! Your work by saying how short it is. Amazing of the best work!👍
I’ve thought for a long time that sonic would look far better cell shaded. This video confirms that it would work. Amazing work, really makes you appreciate those 7 seconds how much work this takes.
I remember when I watched the collab and I saw this part, I actually had to replay it to see if I saw what I thought I saw!
This is the best scene I've ever seen in ANY collab! I have no doubt it took over 100 hours.
You are truly a legend!
Hey don't feel bad about "just 7 seconds", this was really well done! The models, the textures, the shading, and the animation were all really well done, and just the style I like! As an animator myself, I know how painstaking and how long "just 7 seconds" can be to make. Keep up the good work! I'd love to see more from you!
Bro. This is so good, this literally looks like an intro to a new (good one this time) sonic game! Keep doin what your doin man :)
YES!!! THIS IS THE BEST ANIMATION I'VE EVER SEEN FOR SONIC! This is what Sonic should look like when he's moving, this is why I've never liked the garbage work from Paramount Pictures. They haven't understood that Sonic isn't easy to hit or capture. The flexibility he has when he is moving so fast, the ability to dodge at high speeds, his fast reaction. This 7 second is better than the entire first movie and the new one even though it's still not yet out. Keep up astonishing work and never let frustration make you give up your great work, instead keep going forward with your art. Oh god, this is by far the smoothest animation for Sonic since Sonic Unleashed.
This is So Cool! The fluid motions and powerful impacts make this seem like an official work
This has shades of Sonic CD and the first Sonic Unleashed cutscene. I really need to step up my game to come anywhere close to this level of commitment and skill. Well done, Bravo!
That was a very unique animation. No I want a cell shaded sonic game with marvelous animations like this
WOW 😱! Approximately 100 hours for a 7 second animation
