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 wasn't hard too hard to do, but some terrain models kept crashing the game, so I had to remove several of them. Some materials don't work as intended either, such as the Blend shaders. I also doubt I'll finish this as well.

![Sonic Forces (PC) - Apotos Entrance Field [Release]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OGkb1Xcrk2E/mqdefault.jpg "Sonic Forces (PC) - Apotos Entrance Field [Release]
Mod download: https://www.nexusmods.com/sonicforces/mods/28
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.

-The gismos can now be moved. Its the closest well get to them being able to break.
-Ambient sound has been added (Thanks to Beatz!)

Do note the skybox is missing! This was filmed before the mod had been released, which fixes this issue.
Yes, I know that the game will be receiving a Sonic Movie 3 level that has this exact location here, but that doesnt stop me from doing this.
Since Shadow Generations was built off of Frontiers, the file formats and structure are identical. And of course, this means Ive brought over that Shibuya map from M&S Tokyo 2020. Completely straightforward process.
As shown here, the GI lightmaps/shadowmaps, and colored light-field are all ported over from the source material. Shadow Generations uses a hybrid of the dynamic ones from Frontiers for outdoor areas, and the colored ones from Forces/Olympics/Sakura Wars in indoor areas, while only using baked GI in the indoor areas of stages (Sunset Heights sewers, Chaos Island temples, etc.). This shows the colored light-field and baked GI being used in an outdoor area.
Also as with the Frontiers port, the music track Im using for this is Freedom Buzz Dance from Persona 5 Strikers, as I feel the track not only goes hard (its my favorite track from that game), but also, it fits the maps vibe well. Seeing as audio modding is literally the same as in other games that use the CRIWARE ACB/AWB formats, I went ahead and did that.
