Jeck Jims' 2.2 3D Models 2.14

V1.45 Shadow the Hedgehog​

I feel like I have less and less to say with each update. Here's Shadow. Huge shout-outs to Inazuma obviously, I wouldn't have been able to reach the quality in animations and poses without his sprites. This shadow supports all the bells and whistles supported in Inazuma's mod. Enjoy!
Now that models are included with SRB2 as of 2.2.7 I've made the decision to separate out all models that are for MODs. So any model that is not for a Vanilla asset is going to be found within their respective folders inside the VDLC folder. So the path to Mighty's model would be "SBR2 V2.2.7/Models/VDLC/PLAY/MIGHTY.md3".
I apologize if this messes with anyone who likes to move things around- but with the sheer amount of files I'm dealing with - I need to keep them separated for my own sanity. Please understand I do this so I can have an easier time myself making new content for you.

DOWNLOADS​

I have included TWO downloads this time.
FULL Will give you all of the models included with SRB2 v1.1.7+all of the MODs-specific models found here (VDLC.)
PATCH Includes just the extra models found only here and can be installed just by adding VDLC to you Models folder and replacing your models.dat. (this download also includes a .txt file with just the .dat entries needed to merge this in vanilla's set.)
I don't recommend installing any of this overtop previous versions of my model packs other then the set included with v2.2.7. Since I've moved mod models' locations- you would have extra unused files in the old slots taking up useless space.

For those interested- here's what has been updated since v1.2.


As those on the Discord may already know, as of the upcoming 2.2.7 version of SRB2 models will be included with the game by default. All of the updates and such that come with official release(s) are included here- and probably will continue to be for now just for ease of access. Whenever I update here- it should be a simple process to merge with the official models. Just download and extract the v1.2 model .zip from here into your root SRB2 folder. (Where SRB2win.exe is located.) If it asks you if you'd like to overwrite existing files, you should answer yes.

Some may be quick to point out how most of the cast has been overhauled since 2.1, and you'd be correct. While I still take heavy inspiration from official Sega Saturn titles, I discovered how just a little bit more detail, polish, and creative liberties could get these to fit with SRB2. Following SRB2's designs and colors really make these feel like models made for this game, rather then another game's assets tossed into it. For those looking for 100% accurate Saturn nostalgia, look forward to Chripsy's Pointy Sonic, which I will also be supporting with it's own model down the road.

What's included?​

As usual initial released are minimalist, with very few extra characters being supported, but hopefully there's enough to keep you all entertained while I update other characters and assets to 2.2.

Recommended Settings​

Please don't ignore this, this is important and I will ignore you and your issues you have for not using these recommended settings.
I only support the interpolation settings of "SOMETIMES" or "NEVER" expect visual errors if using "ALWAYS." I also optimize these models for the Model Lighting "OFF" option, as I dislike the ambient 'lighting' SRB2 applies.
-Make sure your game is in OpenGL Mode, now in 2.2.1 you can swap renders in Video Settings.
-Go into video settings>"OPENGL OPTIONS", and Change Models to "ON."

What's next?​

I plan to finish porting/updating characters as they are released in the Message Boards. I promise I have more characters just waiting on the sidelines waiting to be released, out of respect I continue to wait on their Mod Creators to finish and release up before I can. Shadow is a notable example.
For Mods, Sugoi 1-3 are given, and any other notable mods that come out.

Welcome to releases!

Based Jeck giving out high quality models that seem to get higher and higher in quality with every release

Is there any tutorial on how to activate this mod?

I'm having trouble with the mod. I'm trying to activate it in game but it just shows more folders inside the folder, and the only thing I can do is look inside those folders, which are empty. Am I just doing something wrong?

To activate the mod you must go into options->Video Options-> OpenGL options and set the models to on.

You can also just go into the console and do gr_models on

The amazing models return!

What a great package.
Nice work Jeck

So I was testing this out as Metal Sonic (I did have mods loaded so it might be due to confliction, might need to investigate more on my end of things) and this happened: (Not sure how to add attachments so here's a direct link to the image)

When I beat a special stage as sonic and move on to the next level... sonic turns yellow?

I looked for the OpenGL options, but they aren't there. I'm not sure what to do involving the console either because I have next to no idea how to do basically anything involving the console. If it helps lessen confusion, I'm on Mac.

Update: Figured out the problem. I was still using version 2.2.0. Guess I'll have to wait for the Mac version of 2.2.1.

That's a bug with OpenGL. We're looking into fixing it though.

Now we just need the High Quality models to be updated.

will you add in the future more 3d for characters like modern sonic, CD SONIC, ray, robo knucks, dirk, hinote ?

to bad im having problems with opengl

inhale
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
IT'S FINALLY HERE!
It's great to see these again!


Edit: It's strange to see that you made Super Sonic hold onto things with two hands inside of holding it with one like a badass, but sure.

Go in the console and type in "gr_models 1/on" or you can just go to the OpenGL Options and activate the models from there.

All the vanilla characters + Silver/Eggman/Egg Robo/Blaze/Neo Sonic are working for me, but Fang is still a sprite.

I absolutely LOVE these! If I may have your permission, I could update my port of the original Black Eggman model to have an alternate version that uses the textures from this one. Also, I think that the legacy characters should use the Saturn models you made for 2.1. No particular reason, other than it being a nice reference to the history of this model pack.

I noticed you used the gun sprite I made for Egg Robo as the texture for his gun in the model. That's a nice touch! No need to credit me though, I've already been credited in the original pk3.

Will We See Modern Amy?

I cant wait for that character select thing to be a thing. Bot_skin without using a command prompt? Looks nice
