Well, it's been a while hasn't it Bentley? Right, time to update you all on the status of Bentley, and on 3D stuff in general.
What is the status of Bentley?
Available Versions
FBX Download | SFM | Gmod | XNALara* ** | Daz
* The version created is of an older rig and needs to be updated.
** Because XNALara does not support morph keys, Bentley's face is stationary.
So far, he's doing pretty good, the rig is probably as good as I can get it at this point, and everything in him is working fine. With a few compromises that had to be made because of his bulky form and my lack of proper planning. But he's there, and ready for use.
Now, why hasn't he been ported to Gmod and Daz yet? Well o3o SFM proved to be the hardest one to port, and it's taken me a while to figure out all the QC stuff, which, I'm hoping to some day explain in a video tutorial because my god, it has been an uphill battle to get him to this point.
There's also an NSFW version that I've been working on, but as it turns out I suck at modelling knobs, so that'll take me a bit of time :3 ..
What's up with Big and Storm?
A while back when I was messing about with Big and Storm, posing them for a series of trashy pics that I might release some day (Though likely to be on Tumblr) and while I did that, 5 things seriously bothered me.
1: Their toes aren't rigged at all
2: The bones aren't named properly with the bip_ convention, so everything was a mess of samey "diamond" bones with no distinction
3: Textures are taken from the original meshes which were designed for a console experience, not a desktop experience (Blurry and pixelated in some areas)
4: There were oddities in the mesh that made it difficult to work in (Strange ordering on morphs, bizzare bone weights in certain areas, lack of control of certain things like clumps of lifted fur or the end of Big's belt)
5: Storm's feet were way too small for the shoes
So I decided to address these issues, and began modifying Kabal Mystic's models. So far I have only gotten work in on Big, remapping his UVs, giving him an HD and more muted texture (Original is too strong), extra bones to control things like the spokes of fur on his chest, and of course, rigging those lovely toes of his. All while giving it a proper naming scheme which color coats the bones and makes it just a delight to work with, much like Bentley.
In time an FBX download of Big will also be available, because I'm doing all these changes in Maya and you just get so much more control with an FBX and your program of choice. Eventually I'll have Storm ready, and Vector, but for now Storm will just have to be sad and stare at his tiny un-rigged feet, poor guy ;w;
I'm not actually sure where I'll be releasing these mods besides the google page I'm making that'll house my 3D stuff for anyone to come and visit (figured it's easier to have everything in one neat concise website rather than searching my Fa or the internet for links and files). Odds are they will just stay there though, since I don't know how KM feels about SFMLab.
Also, don't suggest other Sonic models for me to do owo Storm Big and Vector are the only ones I like ,w, I don't care about the rest
But yeah o3o that's all I have.
I intend to release Bentley in SFM and FBX (Through request in email, might change my mind about this) to the public later this week. Bentley will also be on SFMlab
Bentley belongs to Insomniac Games
Storm and Big belong to Sega
Storm and Big Models belong to Kabal Mystic
Bentley model and poses belong to me

Oh no, Big and Storm were created by Kabal Mystic https://kabalmystic.deviantart.com/ The model in the middle, Bentley, was entirely made by me
Nope, I made him in Maya 2016 and with assistance from Zbrush 4R7, Blender stepped in to get him ported to SFM
Though I'm sure that I would've been able to achieve a similar result with Blender alone and its sculpt tools and mesh painter if I had the patience to re-learn it

Unnamed bones, no rigged things like eyes, fingers or toes... yeah, I feel you pal xD
Also, it looks cool, I think its awesome you are going to take that effort and update them.
About uploading them on a google site, its ok but FA also has the carpet thing where you can put there a section with your 3D stuff, DA also has that and Sfmlab is not that bad, it also helps those who don't know you stumble upon your kind work <3

Oh yeah, I do intend to make posts on FA about them, so people know, the google site is more of a convenience, since I also intend to go more in-deph with each model talking about what was done and just technical thing for the 3D nuts out there. And maybe even tutorials in the long run because this stuff is hard and I want no one else to suffer the hell I went through with getting things ready in SFM :3
But yeah, I'll take a look at DA as a means of release, haven't posted to it in over 2 years now though. Thank you for the advice :3

No problem!
Oh, just in case you were wondering for future projects, and you can stop reading here, Chief Bogo and Mayor Lionheart would be awesome ideas, or if you wanna, take a look at the models in Middle Earth: Shadow of war, some models of Olog have wonderful feet hahaha (and noone even made a model of that game or the first one so... yeah, I also tried to do it myself with no luck xD)

Can you believe I haven't watched Zootopia yet? Even though it's out and it's blatant furry pandering I just can't bring myself to watch it owo
But I've never considered Bogo or the Mayor, right now I just have planned to do my own OCs, because if I could do Bentley, maybe Rhody won't be as hard, or Brian. I have noted that the Ologs have nice feet :3 I don't think I can bring myself to model one though, since Bentley resulted purely out of the frustration that it was impossible to get a model of him, I have more confidence that Ologs could be ripped from the game without them breaking horribly
