  • A program that allows you to extract or create a CPK file.
• terrain2fbx
  • A program that allows you to convert terrain models inside a folder to an FBX file.

    • .terrain-model
    • .terrain-instanceinfo
    • .material
    • .dds
• terrain2fbx-png
  • Modified version of terrain2fbx to search for PNG textures instead of DDS.

• evsxml
  • A program that converts an EVS file to an XML, and vice versa.
• pfdpackUnleashed
  • A program that creates a PFD file with its corresponding PFI file from a folder to work with Sonic Unleashed.
• ShaderDB
  • A shader database for SonicGLvl 0.5.7 which contains every shader from Sonic Generations and Sonic Unleashed.
  • If you don't want the database to be reset by the editor, make it read-only.
• slwModel2Gens
  • A program that converts a Sonic Lost World model file to a Sonic Generations one.
• TuringFixer
  • A program that regenerates triangle strip data for every model in a stage to fix the crash on Nvidia Turing GPUs. (RTX/GTX 1660 Series)
  • Drag and drop the Packed stage folder that contains the .ar.00/.pfd files. (eg. disk/bb/Packed/ghz200)
• PostRender
  • This is a replacement for Post Render mode in GIAtlasConverter. Conversion is significantly faster.
  • Place your lightmap/shadowmap files in a folder which is named after your stage but with -HedgeGI suffix, for example:
    • ghz200 (contains stage assets)
    • ghz200-HedgeGI (contains lightmap/shadowmap files)
  • You can afterwards drag and drop the Packed stage folder that contains the .ar.00/.pfd files. (in this example's case, ghz200)
  • Note: HedgeGI is already capable of packing lightmaps into stages. However, you can still use this tool for packing of GI textures generated through other software.
• TerrainBlockGenerator
  • A program that generates terrain block data for a stage to significantly improve the performance.
  • Drag and drop the Packed stage folder that contains the .ar.00/.pfd files. (eg. disk/bb/Packed/ghz200)
  • Note: Latest Hedgehog Converter is already capable of generating terrain block data. However, you can still use this tool for stages generated with SonicGLvl 0.5.7 or old versions of Hedgehog Converter.
• Unleashed2Generations
  • A program that converts .model, .terrain-model and .material files from Sonic Unleashed to Sonic Generations format.
• UV2Mapper
  • A program that generates lightmap UV2 channel for every terrain model in a stage. This can be used for baking with HedgeGI.
  • Drag and drop the Packed stage folder that contains the .ar.00/.pfd files. (eg. disk/bb/Packed/ghz200)
  • You can also use this program on individual .terrain-model files. If you want to process all of them at once, make a .bat file. For example:
    • for %%f in (*.terrain-model) do UV2Mapper "%%f"
  • Note: This tool is available as an option in HedgeGI under Tools -> Generate Lightmap UVs.
• YeetVertexColor
  • A program that removes vertex colors from every terrain model in a stage.
  • Drag and drop the Packed stage folder that contains the .ar.00/.pfd files. (eg. disk/bb/Packed/ghz200)
  • Note: This tool is available as an option in HedgeGI under Tools -> Remove Vertex Colors.
