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.

the little stop before the dash off at the very end is so good

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.

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.

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

I wanna see an animated Sonic series like this. It kinda reminds me of the Unleashed opening movie!

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.

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.

Very true

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

The animation itself and just seeing the laptop you used to make it is honestly the most inspiring thing I've seen this year

Had to mentally recover when you revealed your specs. Seriously though, inspiring work!

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.

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!

i cannot emphasize enough just how perfect everything about this animation is

If there’s ever a Sonic Adventure remake, I NEED it in this kind of style

everything is just so stunning!! The animations, shaders, lightning and everything.. SEGA HIRE THIS MAN!!

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

Chimera : "I used a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro" Me : "Is it possible to learn this power ?"

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.

a Sonic game, cartoon or moovie in this style.... Man i can kill for this !!!

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

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

Thank you for sharing, this is so valuable for learning!

That 7 seconds was enough to convince any newcomer to become a sonic fan

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.

God it's sooo good! I'd love sonic game in this style honestly.

Bro, it's incredible, your work seems to have the style of Sonic Riders and the skills of Advance

They should make a whole sonic game or show around this art style, God it's so freaking good dude!

The outlines and shading along with the blur effects look AMAZING. Incredible work and fascinating to see how it was done!

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!

This just popped up on my KZread 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!

Sonic the hedgehog is an amazing character and while in recent years sega hasn't done my boy justice, they seem to be finding their feet again, but even though the dark ages we could always count on the true fans of this series to hold out hope and if all else fails they could do it themselves. I would like to thank the animator for being one of these true fans and creating a beautiful scene that is faithful to yet still advances past the original and manages to capture the original cocky charm Sonic once had, a charm that has been lost in more recent entries.

This was honestly a amazing standout from that collab, when it came up i kind of kept going back and forgot to keep watching the rest. I'm glad you posted your process, really incredible!

yes! this is what a sonic should look like imo. ive been thinking about this for weeks and im so glad i stumbled upon this today. great work!

This was genuinely my favorite part of the colab, absolutely amazing Job!

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 so cool, you did an amazing job on this, the motion, inertia and all. its so good

ahhhhh its so good! i love low poly models and cel/toon shading so much! good snippet of animation you made!

I’ll never get tired of 3D models that have been cell shaded perfectly.

You deserve the best career. Nuff said, I'm absolutely speechless with how gorgeous this is. Absolutely stellar!

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!

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!
