hi guys, its me, styx.

Yo whatsup

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

I found you, faker!

[@SonicTheBlueBlur15]

Hi

[@NinjaLegend5620]

The worst one

[@Sonic_Beyond]

Nice video! Though for my thumbnails, I never used Blender. I always use a freecam mod for Sonic games to get the pose I want and just crop it out from the screenshot or just use renders

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

Hey, thanks for watching! And wow, I'm impressed with your freecam work! You could (and did) fool me 😂

[@elmonextbot]

Yo man i watch your content from time to time and i really like it! keep up the good work!

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@NeatOnTheRocks Although it would be nice, it'd be even nicer if some of those models were available in SFM/Gmod; that includes the Badniks present in Sonic Origins.

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

@@robbiewalker2831 I agree, but I'm not experienced with porting models between Blender and SFM. Though from what I know, it's something you could try yourself!

SONIC SUPERSTARS MODELS IS AMAZING!!

[@MiracleMyz]

Thank you so much, I have been working on a sonic animation for almost a year now and I wanted it to have a cool intro with a classic sonic model, and this is perfect!

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

Glad I could help!

[@cairojoseph7512]

when i save my sonic pose all of the eyelids and mouths pop up even tho when i loaded the model in none of that happened

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

Make sure you disable all of the different mouths and eyelids for the render like I show in the video (you have to click the eyeballs and also the cameras next to them)

[@cairojoseph7512]

@@NeatOnTheRocks Oh my gosh thank you so much for helping me with that your the best !😁

[@gn2677]

Hey great video also do you know when or if your going to do the final horizon of sonic frontiers without leveling up?

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

Most of Final Horizon's challenges set your stats to Level 1 anyway, so I don't think it would be that interesting. I have my full Hard Difficulty Final Horizon playthrough and first impressions in the livestreams section of this channel though!

[@HhhHhhh-le6tj]

Sweet video, keep up the good work

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

Thanks my dude

[@ST4RRY796]

When i render it the eyes are closed for some reason

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

You need to disable the eye lids for render visibility and not just preview visibility

[@teoguy5739]

Cool tutorial but one problem, whenever I open the models, they are just white with no textures besides the eyes. If you know how to fix this, thanks.

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

I don't really, sorry 🥴still new to Blender myself so not really sure how to troubleshoot

I think you forgot the link to the Stix tweet lol

I am legitamentaly so angry like why is the settings at 3:01 coming up for me? Its showing nothing and I followed every step plus it wont let me save my render to my photos.

Sorry I'm so late, do you mean it's not coming up for you?

Hi

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

sup

[@garageguy524]

But what if i want to edit it, like add/remove some stuff from a character??

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

For removing stuff you should be able to click the eyeballs next to the part you want to hide. For adding that would require modeling, which is above my paygrade

[@garageguy524]

@@NeatOnTheRocks dont worry i found how to model, you have to click the mesh in that little window on the top right corner, and then press tab (or go manually by clicking on the button) to go in edit mode. Now you can do modelling

[@gamingnews8030]

How to edit the mouth

[@NeatOnTheRocks]

It's among all the objects you need to click the eyeballs to hide, there's a few different preset mouths per model you can edit
