Its not perfect , but a good start,,,
I feel that I got the FOV and camera angles almost right on the money here. ( maybe a tee bit off huh?)
lets hope the texture tiling amount is correct.
I think it should be since a camera matching technique was used to model.

Please Note: still a work in progress, textures and camera may be shifted for corrections.


(to show camera matching)


After looking at the comparison shot , some questions arise ,,
like..... is the wall texture really the same texture as the floor?
or is it just that the magazine pictures contrast is off.
or or perhaps its a photograph taken from a TV screen which caused extra colors within the wall textures.
if you look at the circle on the stage floor in the GF screen, there are a few bright spots there as well.

as for the other difference of texture alignment on the wall...
I know its normal for textures to be stretched out funny on the Saturn hardware causing some pixels to look wrapped.

P.S. sorry that I derailed the topic,
I know this has nothing to do with the PC version of the game.
perhaps I should start a new topic?

Andrew75 - A member posted this on assembler... yours is looking a bit closer to the original but I thought I'd bring it to your attention to give it a look over

[Andrew75]

hey Yeah I know Ollie! ^_^
We are kind of working together on gathering study materials for the boss engine! lol
he posted his game on the Sentient forums as well.

Quick look at that Saturn model of Sonic- does he have SA-esque eyes... only blue?

It's not a "model" but rather a cleverly designed sprite, and AFAIK all the sprites have black eyes.

[The KKM]

If this isn't a model, then I know nothing.

[SegaLoco]

Oh, I assumed you were referring to the Ross Harris sprites. Proceed. =P

It does look like it, but it might also simply be used to give depth to the eyes, kinda like in this picture:

True, but ti's still odd... they always did that using brown, not blue. As far as I know, (which isn't much), the color limitations of the Saturn weren't enough to force them not to add brown there, no?

Different artists, different details maybe =P.

Blue was probably chosen because it is more appealing than brown. I mean lets think of all the beautiful things in life that are brown... dead grass, rust, shit... Yeah. But I agree, blue may be a little too much.

In anime, when something is black, and they want it to appear to be more black, they make the highlights blueish.

[Clutch]

Not just anime either. Blue as a highlight for black has been used for things like Superman's hair and Batman's cowl.

...Though how the blue appears in that picture seems like it was applied haphazardly if done on purpose. It looks more like artifacting, even if that doesn't make sense.

It reminds me of the AAing techiques used in spriting, which is why it's confusing me for it's blue color- in all classic art they either use grey or brown. Meh.

That blue is the same as his skin, so I don't think it's his eye colour, and I think it might be nothing of the sort. But I know nothing about programming at this level, so I keep on lurking. But if it's his eye colour this people have no notion about style since blue on blue wouldn't stand out.

I always thought his eyes were either black (with brown highlights) or grey pre-Sonic Adventure.
