This is something that I had been working on and off on since at least May 9, 2022, if not longer. Essentially it's 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 Unleashed's 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 I've gotten the stage to the best I can possibly get it to be, I've decided to release what I've 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.
