so recently the models from sonic racing crossworlds have been getting ripped from the recent network test. i managed to nab the wave model in hopes that it would be an upgrade from the old model i've been using for years. turns out... they're pretty much the same model. kind of. for the most part. so the crossworlds model is slightly higher poly, has a better uv setup, and has a higher res texture. it's rigging is even more simplified compared to the old model. but there is just one major problem that keeps me from using this model over the old one. whenever i render something with wave i use a subsurf modifier on her to make the model appear much smoother and less low poly. but the crossworlds model just does not like the subsurf modifier. it breaks the model in some noticeable areas. so for now until i can fix that i'll just stick with the old model and use the new textures on it like i did in the screenshot lol.

still hyped for the game tho!
