Hello, Sudrians.

So the reason behind my newest short, "Makeover", was to ask you guys a question. I've been tossing up the idea of upgrading the engine models to ones with 3D faces (at least the ones that have 3D faces). But I'll only do this if you want to see that. So cast your vote down below: 2D or 3D?

By the way, I am aware I made a similar short to this a few years ago when I used upgraded models. The reason I didn't stick with them was because the computer I had at the time wasn't powerful enough.

Have a good one.

YES!!!!! 3D!!!!!

Honestly for me m8, it doesn’t matter, I’m fine with either :)

On one hand, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. On the other hand, I was wondering about those models from the Test short.

2D for the rest of season 6 then 3D if you do season 7 or future shorts

Victor, I think it's time to bring Stories of Sodor and the Shorts into 3D. I think for continuity purposes, keep the rest of Season 6 with 2D faces, but start introducing the Shorts with 3D faces. My only concern is, it'd look odd when characters with 2D faces show up against the 3D ones

I prefer 2D for the rest of the series and the other seasons to come no 3D at all!!

Personally, I think you should move onto the 3D models at this point in time. A lot of newer models anyways have being getting more and more 3D, to a point that the main engines are completely out of date. Now obviously, for Stories of Sodor sake (excluding the shorts), it would have to start after Season 6 has wrapped up by the end of the year.

i would say 2d as you cant get these models anymore, but ima go for 3d since I'm a 3d modeller myself lol

If we need a reason to explain the upgrade, it’s part of an overhaul from BR

2D as it will be a bit weird to have 3D faces all over a sudden, not to mention that 2D faces has stuck with us for so long on you channel.

Sean Steere

I’d say the 3D ones would look better as the 2D faces are dated, especially for the main cast. Best use them for Season 7 since 6 has already finished production.

Vlad Humperdink

I'm happy for either to be honest, whatever makes the job easier for you mate :)

Either is good, but I think 3D can give you more facial reactions on the engines, more eye placement, & more immersion, especially since some other engines used had 3D faces.

David Henry Williams Brooks

All honestly it would make sense to upgrade the non faceless engine when it began in session 1 and the and the picture quality at night is gaining difficult because of 2D model

If you do change to 3d, what’s gonna happen to characters like Sam, Barry, Francis etc?

I think it's fundamentally a good idea, however I do think the fact that you use the older models adds a certain kind of charm you can't really find anywhere else. it would be a big adjustment for sure, and if you do upgrade the models I recommend using the 2012 versions of the si3d models as they still have that nostalgic feel without the sacrifice of quality. On that note I would like to add that you have generally lot more freedom with the older models. For example, thomas. You wouldn't be able to show his rather, less than ideal state if you upgraded everything else, as it would look out of place. In the end there's many reasons as to why I prefer you to stick to it, but all together it is your decision.

Maybe find a way to update them between season and have a hint towards the change in the final episode of season six

Ivy Kelly

No, I like the 2-D face
