Included, Sonic’s Updated CGI Model
We’ve received a couple news tips that alerted us to the release of an updated trailer to Eddie Lebron’s Sonic on Thursday.
For those who have seen the MAGfest trailer, this will look mostly familiar. However, there are several changes, including the revision of Sonic’s 3D model from the original version. It is the first time the new model has been shown to the public.
Check it out below. Thanks to Paul of Fans United for SatAM and Shayne of Sonic Radio for tipping us.














If I were them, I’d re-invent the Eggman logo to look a little cooler… I mean if there were an official movie, I would expect them to do that sort of thing.
The lighting on the word “hero” looks odd.
He looks like a werehog plushie…
Kinda wondering why some of his peach skin is fluffy and some of it isn’t.
And just a small nitpick, it’s a bit too bold to choose the square patterned ground… I don’t know, it’s probably just me.
Still very interested to see where it goes though.
Why can’t Sonic be Blue?
Huh? Sonic’s model doesn’t look any different than it did in the first trailer. It’s exactly the same.
And Jaleel doesn’t work as Sonic Adventure-styled Sonic. I liked him in the old cartoons, but once Sonic was reinvented with the Dreamcast, Jaleel’s voice no longer fit the character.
As long as he’s saying “I’m waitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing” at least once in this film I’ll be moderately happy with it.
Uh…. what did I just watch?
… Is it just me, or does Sonic look… off? Like, really, REALLY off?
heheheh he looks fluffy, just enough tp hug him XD and Jaleel’s rocks ;p
More blue, less fur….is my initial response, but I’m actually kind of wondering what Sonic’ll look like in some natural lighting. That he looks really good in that is the only reason why I think they’d stick with this model.
I don’t know sonicss design is a little to realistic for sonic but as long as the story and acting is good we’ll see.
I thought they were re-designing the model??
Also maybe it’s just me, that if that live action stuff is meant to be Green Hill, then no. It looks like the woods at the back of my house.
I still wanna see the finished product, but so far I’m not too excited.
Uuuhhhhh… Sonic’s model is still ugly like the last trailer! He looks like a demented werehog! Even the original werehog looked better! Alright Jaleel’s voice doesn’t work here… Maybe he should make his voice deeper… Or maybe he should just sound more mature….
Jaleel….actually did really good. But Sonic looks supremely fluffy. It just looks weird
Steve Urkel sounds a little off…. He sounds really stupid.
The furriness is the side effect of that warehog laser that eggman shot at Sonic in Sonic Unleashed.
Nightmare fuel!
hmmm seems interesting enough. Since it’s free I won’t feel ripped off like the majority of summer movies this year. I wish them luck on the project and glad to hear Mr. White back on something Sonic-related (I think Sonic Underground scared him off)
He sounds like how he was in Sonic Underground.
He sounds…. off. For some reason I would prefer Roger Craig Smith. And the model… hmm hope this turns out well enough.
Seems like Jaleel White can’t do his old Sonic voice anymore… that model looks like the werehog rather than Sonic.
um…. am i the only one who felt that sonic was SCARY looking x.x Damn, now this model of sonic is gonna haunt my dreams
and OMG, the trailer score was BEAUTIFULLY done o.o
Hate ta tell ya, children, but this isn’t Sonic’s updated model; it’s the same one from the first teaser.
His updated model is here: http://sonicfanfilm.com/blog/?more=34 along with some badnik designs.
Also, a new teaser poster is on the home page of the official website.
This teaser was probably rushed for the big birthday; the only differences between this teaser and the original one are the trees and ‘It’s go time!’.
Eddie said that there’ll be a new private trailer on the official website.
All feedback is being read and taken into account. Until the film is actually released, anything can change. At the end of the day, if we can’t pull off the fur 110%, it may just be taken off. We’re currently trying to tweak it. There are difference in this model than the previous one (the quills atop his head were modified so he looked less like a greaser, his fur was shortened, the quality of the render was improved) but maybe the changes aren’t as drastic as what some fans wanted so stay tuned.
Jaleel sounds good, but this new model… I’m not buying it. It honestly looks WORSE than the older model; I wonder why Lebron changed it.
No fur? Aw mang.
The new model that SockDrawer showed is a big improvement. The fur color needs to be lighter, like the modern sonic color, and his chest is not supposed to have fur… oh well. His gloves (hands) are too small and skinny but I guess that’s cuz of your realistic perspective.
Over all, I’m impressed and now I can hope to watch this amazing movie without cringing at Sonic’s model!
…am I one of the few people to think that voice would’ve been perfect for Classic Sonic?
Jaleel White will always be sonic in my eyes
(EDIT + BAN -T)
This version of Sonic looks a bit too… dark. Literally AND, um, metaphorically. Am I the only one somewhat freaked out by the hyper-realism? I mean, sure, that’s what I’d wanted, but seeing it in real life makes me kind of wary…
Maybe it’ll grow on me. I hope so.
more blue ,and less werehoggy plz?
Scruffy scruffy Sonikku~
Sorry I just had to say it, been months haha. I do love the updated model in http://sonicfanfilm.com/blog/?more=34
More scruff, less greaser =P
Since when was SonicTheHedgehog black?
