[SFM] - Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Opening Recreation

==READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING==

Man this was a mouthful, even just uploading this took a while.

Anyway, so this is quite obviously a recreation of the opening from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle made in Source Filmmaker using apochedgie's Sonic Generations models.

Now for a short Q&A before you make a comment:
Q: Why?
A: Because I felt like it.

Q: How long did this take?
A: About 3 weeks. I was sort of making this on and off with my (now cancelled) Super Mario Galaxy 2 LP as well as real-life things such as school.

Q: ermahgerd u riped off zeekrocz117
A: I wasn't aware of his video until after I uploaded.

Q: What's with the random whites and purples that keep appearing?
A: That's the map's fault, not mine. I did whatever I could to fix it to no avail.

Q: How did you change the skybox texture?
A: By converting textures of Radical Highway which I already had, converted them using VTFEdit, then put them over the existing textures.

Q: Why do some of the animations look kind of bad?
A: I'm only new to 3D Animation, plus the link to chaofanatic's rig was broken while I was making this.

Q: How did you do [thing that isn't possible in SFM]?
A: Adobe Premiere. The only things I've done outside of SFM are the colored backgrounds and text in the short clips with the characters posing to the camera and the logo at the very end.

Q: What's with the weird black outlines around Tails, Eggman, Knuckles and Rouge?
A: Trying to mask them in Adobe Premiere. I did my best there.

Q: Why are the no sparks on the rails?
A: Because I couldn't find any good particle system. I threw a candle on Sonic's foot because it was better than nothing, and even then I couldn't rotate it.

Either way, I do really like how this turned out, and I may make more like these in the future.

This is what Sonic Adventure 2 Battle HD should have looked like!

[Optimistical]

This looks good so far. But I think it's time this deserves a remaster. I think you can improve on this animation!

[LumaGolem]

The nostalgia, it tugs at my very soul... well done.

[meltyk]

I remember playing Sonic Adventure 2 when I was little. Watching this video brings back so many memories. Thank You.

[ABlob]

Seriously, what actually *is* Knuckles doing there? 0:24
Is he laughing? Is he trying to eat the camera? 

[metashade]

Awesome job man! This game brings back so many memories of my Gamecube era!

[kickflippers]

Sega needs to re-release this game with HD graphics 

[scottthescattergun]

I Could Watch This Over And Over The Whole Day.

A quote from Knuckles:
''Yeah! This is perfect!''

[medjedreal]

[StormGardenHedgefleet]

[davidcoaker]

 knuckles!!!! please don't eat me I beg of you

[themagicalgamer]

0:24 at least it shows what he's up to. You can notice he's chuckling. In the original he's... Barking?

[silvero]

This is the coolest remaking of Sonic Adventure 2 battle ! ^ . ^ *

[SapphireLuna]

Does anyone know if there's a tutorial for newbies out there specifically for Sonic animations in SFM? I can't even get their eyes to open because I can't get Faceposer to open ;_;

[zeekrocz]

nice job on the video. keep up the good work c:

[federicogonzalez]

Sega should make an "Sonic early 3D Game colletion".

I mean:

-Sonic adventure 1.

-Sonic adventure 2.

-Sonic Héroes.

In one Game. (To PS4, PS5, Nintendo Swich, and The new X-Box series)

Hey, if Nintendo can make "Super Mario 3D All star", ¿Why Sega not?

[BeauSkunk]

Very awesome, regardless of a few minor flaws. Like the pink stuff around Sonic's feet at 0:32 and his running animation looks a bit odd when seen from the front. Also would've liked to of seen the sparks when Shadow was grinding like in the original. Regardless of all that GREAT recreation of the SA2 intro.
That's one of my favorite Sonic games.
