Sonic Velocity Plus Framework – 2022

The Sonic Velocity Plus Framework is a framework of Assets and code made by fans meant for use as a template for making Modern Sonic Games.

Initially starting out as the Infinity Engine framework created by Oban, and refined by Max and Adam, It was then adopted by TheFizzWizz’s team and changed to the Infinity Plus Framework, then the Velocity Plus Framework.

I was brought on to help animate a new character they added with the Velocity plus Rebrand update. Whisper the Wolf.

As a Sonic Character from the IDW comics that hadn’t appeared in a video game yet there wasn’t anything to draw from for her animations and so the team needed someone with a bit more experience with 3D animation to infer her style of movement from Comic panels and reference sheets. I was ecstatic to take the opportunity

She was meant as a sort of special character able to use an expanded variation of the moves the Avatar character used in Sonic Forces. as such she needed to grapple and swing and carry a weapon, her unique Variable Wispon. It meant some cool changes from the typical Modern Sonic Animations, but also a lot of Directional walking and aiming variations as well.

Here’s the end product.
