Hyper Metal Sonic

This is a small reskinning and feature update to my previous prototype model entitled "Murder Sonic".

For the purposes of my most recent short film "Stardust Speedway: The Training of Metal Sonic" I needed to create a more polished and refined canonized version of Metal Sonic closer to his traditional appearance in the Sonic Franchise. To achieve this live in the film not only was a simple reskin needed but the coloring had to be made dynamic with shaders. In addition to this rather than physically modeled terminator style 2D eyes, closer to the game universe I needed to create a responsive 3D vector to 2D UV tracking capable behavior to control the direction his 2D eyes would look in scene. Some static pink hyper phase-shift speed effect shaders/decorations have been added just for flair. I did not create the Jet exhaust VFX, its an Unreal Marketplace asset.
