One day, I was bored, so I wanted to try doing a basic terrain import of Windmill Isle Act 1 to Sonic Lost World. Thankfully it wasnt hard too hard to do, but some terrain models kept crashing the game, so I had to remove several of them. Some materials dont work as intended either, such as the Blend shaders. I also doubt Ill finish this as well.

This is something that I had been working on and off on since at least May 9, 2022, if not longer. Essentially its a port of the Apotos Entrance Field from Sonic Unleashed.
It also acted as the testing grounds stage for when I had to test out model/animation imports during the development of Sonic Forces Overclocked.
All materials now utilize PBR, and I made sure the scene effect data was as close to Sonic Unleasheds scene effect data as I was able to get. May not be 100% accurate, but yeah. Some values have also been copied over from later Sonic games, such as Frontiers and Shadow Generations (primarily for the directional shadows and ambient occlusion).
Baked lightmaps/shadowmaps have also been ported from Sonic Unleashed as well, though the light-field had to be baked manually. So there may be some inaccuracies here and there.
Seeing as Ive gotten the stage to the best I can possibly get it to be, Ive decided to release what Ive got. Feel free to take photos and such with the FreeCam mod or DevTools, or even use it as a starting point for another mod if you want.

Shadow isnt playable in Egg Gate and Luminous Forest due to there being quick-time events. N69vid made a mod that lets Shadow play in those stages, but he turns into Sonic when a QTE happens.")
