UDK - Cel Shading Test

[MrScoocks]

When are you gonna release this?

[iamROOSTBLOB]

game?

[spunkflunk]

how the hell did u allow ur char to run upsidedown

[Sonic553366]

Please link to Sonic and Super Sonic!!!!!!!!

[LeagueStudios]

or could u set up a tutorial on how to make a sonic model

[LeagueStudios]

can u send me this shit via 3ds max

[randomenvelope]

ever wondered why sonic has one eyeball but two pupils?

[MEROJOBR]

holy crap! sega needs to make a cell-shaded sonic game!

[SweaterSwagg]

Looks challenging to make. Is scripting and programming in UDK hard? How long did it take you to learn all of this and do what you did if you don't mind my asking?

[KyleAB5000]

think u could put up a download link for the model + animations?

[CrusaderEXE]

The character design and cel shading is good and all, but man, that camera is way too accurate for a Sonic game. You'll have to point that camera in some more awkward directions if you want to get the feel of a true Sonic 3D game.

[IntermissionForBunny]

This is already better than Sonic 2006

[gabohXD]

Yo dawg we heard you like Sa2b Test level......

[Samualninja]

Anyone else wanted him to just go into that huge spiral on the ground?

[Varryance]

this music is golden! i love it!

[SilverFreeRiders]

On UDK can you like upload or import stages from sonic colors into UDK?

[ImmaBritannian]

So pretty!

[CrabbWalker]

LOVE IT. The more heavier outlines fit Sonic. He looks more like a cartoon

[sackboy1997]

how? download? what game? Looks aWESOMe!

[KingStar0624]

@sackboy1997 it's not a game. it's a program called Unreal Development Kit. it's free to download

[sackboy1997]

@KingStar0624 No the sonic part. i want that, Did he make it? Can we download it?

[KingStar0624]

@sackboy1997 oh, you might be able to download it on the forums

[sackboy1997]

@KingStar0624 Then do you know whats it called?

[marscaleb]

I saw the thumbnail for the video and thought you made some DBZ characters for this.

Nice work on the camera.

[ImsomniaCA]

can you give us a download link to that modern sonic model? :/

[Redxyellow1]

JUST....animed

[bcut]

this is SO AWESOME!

[darkredsupersonic]

how did you go super sonic

[LtheHedgehog]

@greatwhiteshark616 Tell that to SEGA, since it's Sonic Colors' model. ;-)

[greatwhiteshark616]

@LtheHedgehog never played sonic colors problably why :-P

[SupremeChaos114]

@LtheHedgehog how do you change the Model in Sonic GDK? Please :)

[Schoening91]

@LtheHedgehog LOL ! Pwned xD

[EnderMCProductions]

@LtheHedgehog can u give me thad model pls :(

[Warnerator]

@greatwhiteshark616 where have you been? the sonic character design has changed.

[atortarr]

That looks AWESOME.

[Rael0505]

my mind is blown

[epicfail18081]

its like borderlands style now.

[671tch]

How hard do you think it would be to get into stuff like this? I already know my current computer is as powerful as a bag of nuts, so what kind of shit would I need?

[Reilly444]

Holy crap this looks like fun.

I'd love to just dick around in an open world with Sonic like this.

[GBmark16]

1:04 do any of u guys see Sonic's mouth?

[thegamer549]

hey a 3d sonic game that doesn't look like shit! Don't let SEGA see it they'll sue you! Great work btw.

[supershadow1921]

i want sonic gdk!!!

[daijonIIX]

Doesn't look bad

[GameLoverMaki]

Much better than Next Gen story.Wait,what is the story of this game?

[EvilLamas]

The water is really cool!

Proper 3d physics etc...

Cell shading looks nice too!

[SweaterSwagg]

This is freaking beautiful. Honestly, is the Unreal Developement kit difficult to use?

[IceBreaker165]

now this is how you make a real sonic engine...

[tintinytdj]

+9.001 sandvich

[danewheeler]

Could you make a cel shader in a post processing chain effect? If so how would you go about that? Have any good tut's on the subject? I would love to know as I am thinking it might be great on a project I am working on. I want to give my project that Borderlands look. Thanks bud.

[LtheHedgehog]

@danewheeler The only way, as far as I know, is using as a post-process chain. I don't quite remember how I did it, but try looking for "Edge detection" and you should find out some tuts. All you gotta do is modify to get what you want.

[Renzythegreat91]

@theuglypatchkid put down the crack pipe kid

[GOxissdeh]

Song name pls?

[LtheHedgehog]

@GOxissdeh Planet Wisp Act 1. From the game Sonic Colors.

[xXlargsoelXx]

The cel-shading...it's gorgeous! Great job!

[robotwo]

Where's the cel-shading? >:C

[LtheHedgehog]

@robotwo Everyfuckingwhere. Cel-shading =/= Toon Shading >:C

[robotwo]

@LtheHedgehog

Cel Shading is when the amount of colors used in the shading is decreased dramatically to give a more simplistic shading often consisting of less than 8 tones.

This looks more like Gouraud shading with outlines :Y

[honeydew455]

@LtheHedgehog THE WATER LOOKS GREAT!

[TheUltradon]

@LtheHedgehog OH Lo-freaking L. XD

[l4d2charger]

@LtheHedgehog add a few jiggle bones to sonic's quils,particle effects to the

water and super sonic,give sonic his boost and homing attack effects,idle hover

animation for super sonic,free flight capabilities to super sonic,his chaos control

attack (as a full power energy blast and electric disscharge for low strength blasts),

distort the water a little more each time sonic steps in it(even when he goes fast

enough to run along the water and when he's boosting),and thats all. good luck.

[Keyeszx48]

@LtheHedgehog Toon shading is a style of cel-shading so it is in fact cel shading. It's like how shooters cover third and first and everywhere in between. Google cel shading

[Jonaheuphrates]

@LtheHedgehog do you plan on using this at SAGE ?

[theuglypatchkid]

wow one person can make a better sonic game than sega? wow...

[JC9912]

his shoes... are so... SHINEY!!!!

[SolRaven]

The music is very elegant, what's it called, if I may?

The production of the game looks very promising.

[Thesicksix]

INCREDIBLE WORK. 

[AaronTrutsJC]

thats sick!

[Denyuzumaki]

É o melhor trabalho em 3d sonic pra pc xD

[Zerobadniks]

Did you create the Cel Shading?

[YoungMoneyOkieve]

how to get modern

[Manul119]

WHen will it be realeased???

[MrKoshak38]

It's .... Unreal Tournament 2004????

[JonTerp]

Looks great but DEFINITELY needs some dire animation and collision polish.

[swunleashed13479]

@LtheHedgehog can you send me the files for the game?

[LtheHedgehog]

@swunleashed13479 How about... No?

[alienjoe123]

@LtheHedgehog

LOL'd

when might this be complete?

[LtheHedgehog]

@alienjoe123 February 31.

[alienjoe123]

@LtheHedgehog

I subbed :D

I want to download this when its released.

[3pepsiboy]

@LtheHedgehog aw this is too long <:(

[SweaterSwagg]

@LtheHedgehog lol

[sonickjuice]

@swunleashed13479 WHAT THE FUCK IS GOOGLE?

[swunleashed13479]

@LtheHedgehog can you reallease when ready?

[LtheHedgehog]

@swunleashed13479 Nope. Have plans on using it, sorry.

[codingmasters]

@LtheHedgehog what are you planning on doing with it?

[codingmasters]

@LtheHedgehog also, if you had the time to make some tutorial videos on how you created this, that'd be amazing. Earlier this year I had to use the UDK to make a simple game and it was very daunting for someone who's never used it before.

[BleakColours]

@LtheHedgehog I LOL'd. He thought you were just a prick to clueless people but as he found out you're just a prick in general! :D

[LtheHedgehog]

@BleakColours <3

[vega89191]

wtf disliked this lol? awesomesauce

[dragonmare92]

Hmmmm, I quite like that :)

[Keyeszx48]

How long did it take you to get a system working with sonic physics and controls?

[Keyeszx48]

This isn't really cel shading like Wind Waker cel shading but this is kind of more realistic cel shading, kind of how the recent anime games have been doing. Each kind has it's visual appeal. I think this fits perfectly with sonic. btw it seems like you have basically everything worked out for a sonic game. Are you making one?

[LtheHedgehog]

@Keyeszx48 CelShading =/= ToonShading. Wind Waker uses Toon Shading. Cel Shading is the name given to the "black outline" effect.

[Keyeszx48]

@LtheHedgehog oh, it's just everyone I know called Wind Waker cel shading when it first came out. Recently I remember hearing it called toon shading but it just never stuck. btw can you do toon shading with UDK?

[LtheHedgehog]

@Keyeszx48 Yep. Just don't like it much.

[Keyeszx48]

@LtheHedgehog Are you constantly showing videos of your progress? I'll subscribe if you bring more amazing videos like this.

[Keyeszx48]

@LtheHedgehog Was just looking around and found npr effects on udk and didn't know what it meant so I looked into it and found it's just cel shading which also is called toon shading so they are in fact the same, just different styles.

[LtheHedgehog]

@Keyeszx48 Nops. NPR stands for Non-Photorealistic Rendering. What is that? Basically whatever effect/rendering that uses like the 'cartoon' style. But there is a difference in Toon Shading and Cell-Shading. Trust me, I'm white.

[Keyeszx48]

@LtheHedgehog Wait wha....

[YourAverageGamer1997]

Interesting idea. There should really be a Sonic game with cell-shaded graphics.

(Shuffle doesn't count.)

[bakumega19]

Can anyone tell me how to install this for mac

[SafasoTV]

i love this.

[Awesom3Gamer]

No one ever puts download links >:l

[TheUltimaXtreme]

Cel shading should be fairly simple to implement. After all, they did it in Borderlands.

[LtheHedgehog]

@TheUltimaXtreme Yeah... Just because there is a game with it it should be easy. Right?

No. Honestly, I spend 3 months just studying and testing, to perform this cell-shading. It was hard as fuck and still needs some improvements.

[TheUltimaXtreme]

@LtheHedgehog Hmm. Seems ironic. To make it so so easy, yet so hard to implement. I do think this Bloom effect is is kind of far off. I'm not sure Sonic's muzzle or eyes should be glassy enough to reflect. Either way, good work with texturing. And loving that more 06-esque Super Sonic. Say what you want. That looks like 06's model, and I love it. Music and decent models are the only things 06 has going for it. People just don't notice the model, because they associate 06 Sonic with his horrid VA

[LtheHedgehog]

@TheUltimaXtreme But... This the Sonic Colors model. :C

And yeah, the bloom is a lil' exagerated indeed.

[HyperShadicX]

(cont.)...and right too much; you should look into fixing that.

5: I swear Sonic has walking animations in Unleashed. Why don't you try ripping those / making similar ones to those?

Anyway, love the mechanics you have here. This test level looks like it has a bunch of fantastic stuff in it. I hope the spinning half pipes get put to more use in the future; I like that idea!

Keep up the good work!

[HyperShadicX]

Wow. This looks like it has the direct potential to be freaking AWESOME. A few bits of critique, though:

1: Tone down the lense flares and the shinyness of everything. Looks out of place and is kind of an eyesore.

2: I hope you add effects to his attacks such as his spin jump and spindash in the future to not make them look bland.

3: Some of his animations look reeaaaallllyyy slow. I suggest you speed them up, such as his spindash. Should be fast.

4: When running, Sonic bobs to the left...

[isamuokashii]

Sega should try the cel shading. It's perfect for sonic and everything. 

[Sonicfan244]

where did you get this sonic?

[yhmmot]

damn.....sonic looks sexy in cel shading (not that way...im not into that furry scene)

[pieisnice]

Going out on a limb here, any chance for Hyper Sonic? :3

Also, where's that old version of this that was up for download? I remember seeing it on Sonic Stadium but...

[ReverseNegativeTV]

It's a good look for Sonic.

[car45j34]

The cel shading style is perfect for sonic

[SteamTMH]

Wow. I like this new look on fan games. This UDK is amazing. I saw your previous test of desert stage with tent-like starter. cute holes you did! :D It's sad officials gameplay are not so free-exploring like Spyro the dragon series. I'll be cool to mix those speedtrack and exploring features in one

[KirsGM]

Love it!!

[gihunter6]

Just tone down the shine on the shoes. They're way too shiny compared to everything else.  The bloom is too intense, too. It makes his shoes and eyes look like they're glowing.

[Nitrous0x]

I've heard this song before. It sounds so familiar yet I don't know where i've heard it before.

[LtheHedgehog]

@Nitrous0x Planet Wisp Act 1

[Nitrous0x]

@LtheHedgehog

I had a feeling it was from Sonic Colors.

[SonicKillMario]

What randomxfirerecording said.

[randomxfirerecording]

sexy

[TheomanZero]

Too much bloom on brightly colored objects (especially Sonic's shoes and face) but otherwise beautiful. The underwater effects were particularly nice.

[TailsSena]

Reminds me of Shuffle. AMAZING!

[RukZxA]

very good, I realy like this cell shading

and the illuminations looks good too

[siim686]

Needs more SEGA.

[thesoniczone11]

totally awesome

[ilikecorn225]

This is awesome.

[Dassaric]

HOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wanna do this
