The first post is one huge run-on.

Well even if the rings are just sprites you can't even tell because they look completely 3-D.

Explaination
Explaination: 3 dimesional models are in factuality 2D. However, ther is a difference between sprites and 3D models on the computer. You see, sprites are x amount of drawn out pictures that represent different perspective veiws of an object. 3D models on the otherhand are just one big digitally modeled object. Not a certain number of sprits to create the illusion of the object being of 3 dimensions. 3D models are all one...well...model. A model that, although is also technically an illusion created by the computer monitor, does not need individual sprites. For example, its like comparing stop-motion animation to a live action filmed movie. So as you can see, there is quite a difference between 3D models and sprites. :D
P.S. I like spriting a heck of a lot more than 3D modeling!

The 3D models are fine the way they are. Besides that, most sprites are hand drawn, whereas a 3D model is computer made. I like srb2s way of modeling. Besides that, srb2 looks real enough to be 3D.

If I had the bone files, I might try to make the SA2 characters, seeing is how I have their models.

No. Your SA2 models suck. They aren't even in a neutral position, so they're harder to make bones for.

My ideas about sprites vs. 3d models
First of all...I've had allot of experience working with 3d models and I've found that they are not only easier to work with than sprites, they look cleaner too.
On the subject of whether they should be used in SRB2 or not, leave that up to the people who made the game. If they wanted to use them, they would. Just be glad they did what they did. A good 3d home brew of anything is very hard to find, mostly because it's hard to do with what's available for home brew construction.
Besides, the sprites help maintain the cartoon-like style of the graphics of the original Sonic games. (as opposed to the Sonic Adventure style)
On the other hand, I think the game would be slightly improved if it used 7 direction sprites, (the other being top) but this is only a slight unnecessary improvement.
