HMC #16 Terminator WIP

[TimCallaway]

Just started here is about an hour of work.

[Intervain]

looking forward to it develop :)

[TimCallaway]

Another hour still blocking out things, scale still needs work. I'm going slow in some parts, I'm doing alot of guess work. I'll update as I go =]

[CGORBIT]

looking good thus far.

[ervis]

yeah i like i was tjinking to model the same.i like the start.

[TimCallaway]

Thanks guys, update in a few =]

[AET23]

looking great so far. keep up the good work

[TimCallaway]

update

Thanks everyone I appreciate it!

Just finished blocking out the legs. Going to start on the hands and feet.

More updates as they go =]

[MysticDread]

This is looking fantastic!

Already bringing back those memories from the first time I saw the Terminator coming out of the fire. <<Heart rate speeds several beats per minute>>

:argh: <--- Half melted off skin.

[TimCallaway]

Doing some of the finer details on the legs. Just wanted some feedback on them please =]

[RoyalFlush555]

Lookin Good Tim.

[TimCallaway]

Termy hand =] be more soon

[MysticDread]

Indeed. Coming right along.

- The cut in details on the covers over the legs look really nice. Right under the the upper most detail (the trapezoid shape) there is a crease which keeps catching my eye. You may want to reduce the number of edges crossing that gap to get rid of that.

- The hand parts are looking great too. I'm looking forward to see what you do with the linkages which control the fingers - and how they connect to the wrist area. I just did a quick search for 'Terminator Arm' and was surprised to see how little came up detailing that area.

- With all of those beautiful tight bevel's in its high-res form, I can only imagine what kind of poly-count you are starting to deal with already!

Keep it up! This is exciting! :thumbsup:

[TimCallaway]

Yea the crease is bugging me too, I'm sure when I got most of it done I'll have a nice week of clean up to do. And already over a mil! I love it

I have all the linkages done on there, just a bad view to show them. Once finished I'll have a lot of detail renders =]

Thanks for the support everyone =]

http://trc382.aisites.com/Hand_01%20copy.jpg

I'm having a difficult time finding reference for the wrist area. If anyone has some suggestions on how to tie these two together your more than welcome to shoot your ideas at me. Any help would be alot of help =]

[buryme]

Here are some ref images I used when trying to build a T800 a few years ago. I was pretty new so the model sucked, but these refs are great and took some real searching to track down.

All you're really missing is more struts coming from the underside of the wrist to the underside of the knuckles and maybe some wiring to throw in detail and make the lack of mechanical believability less visible.

[buryme]

I just tried to post this but I think something went wrong...

I was trying to model a T800 a few years ago, I was new so the model sucked, but these sources are the most detailed I could find of the hands.

Hope they help.

[AET23]

looking good so far man. you could probably get a really good close up of the wrist when Arnold shows his arm in T2

[Didiita]

Hey Tim,
It looks really good! Can you post a render were you show the whole body? I don't think I've seen that view, there's one but it's missing its head!
Anyway you're, doing awesome.

[TimCallaway]

Thanks for the comments and ideas guys, I really appreciate them.
Here's a full body shot for ya of the model so far. I'm working on the head as we speak.

http://trc382.aisites.com/Body%20update.jpg

[TimCallaway]

..and the head so far, will give an update before I crash tonight =]

http://trc382.aisites.com/Head_update.jpg

[Jeepster]

wow!

this looks incredible

[TimCallaway]

Thanks everyone for the help and comments! =]

blocking in yay!




http://trc382.aisites.com/Head_01.jpghttp://trc382.aisites.com/Head_02.jpg

[Deepam]

good going so far . . that body is looking almost like metal solid.

keep updating..

[TimCallaway]

I've been working continuesly on detailing everything, I've thought about bringing everything into zbrush and detailing there, but I rather get the satisfaction of doing everything in Maya..

Here is the arm about 80% done.. Thanks for the comments, it's really helpful =]


Crappy chrome...
http://trc382.aisites.com/Arm_update3jpg.jpg

Occlusion
http://trc382.aisites.com/Arm_update2jpg.jpg

and wireframe..
http://trc382.aisites.com/Arm_update.jpg

man, I tell you what, there are ALOT of details on just the arm. I'm killing my computer =]

[WyattHarris]

That head is looking really good so far. I never noticed those hoses coming off the side of the head before or are they part of the mounting hardware?

Check it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlLCqVKwWJk
29 seconds in gives you a pretty good wrist shot but I think you are pretty close.

[TimCallaway]

Wow man, you made my day with that clip! It's kinda hard to find really good reference for him. The hoses on the head are on some pictures and not there on others. There is a little piston for turning the head side to side on all of them. I don't know if I should include those or not. I need to watch the beginning of T2 to make sure. Thanks alot for the comment and that clip =]

[TimCallaway]

started some work tying everything together on the back of the model. Just the blocking out phase, gonna cut in some details tomorrow. =]
http://trc382.aisites.com/Term_back%20copy.jpg

[countdown5]

Seriously... how do you have time for this level of work. This is starting to look better than the TV show.

I am wondering though, are you just building the Terminator? Or are you going to put together some kinda scene for him?

[TimCallaway]

Gonna do a full scene with him holding his gun, IF maya don't die from poly count =]

[bowly]

this looks great man! can't wait to see the finished head.

[SinisterUrge]

WOW!!

You got to this level of detail already. That's scary how far you have gotten and its looking quality. Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do well.

[TimCallaway]

Thank you so much guys, I appreciate the comments =]

Starting to tie everything together and making sure scale is right, I love when a model comes together! Very soon it's just gonna be details, details, details =] Head update comming soon.
http://trc382.aisites.com/Term_01%20HEYcopy.jpg

[McGreed]

I needed some robotic references not long ago, and found a couple good detailed images of the terminator.

Maybe something you or someone else can use. Unfortunally I didn't find any for the feet.

[TimCallaway]

Thank you, there's no such thing as too much reference =]

[mesklil77]

nice progress ....i hate machines but this one i love it..

[cresshead]

this looking really nice...if maya starts to chug on it...get some more ram!

[TimCallaway]

some work on the head, coming along nice. =] Thanks for the comments.

http://trc382.aisites.com/Head_update.jpg

http://trc382.aisites.com/headupdate_2.jpg

[bowly]

cool! Just a bit of constructive criticism, I think the top of the head should be flatter and the eyes closer together :).

Can't wait to see it together!

[TimCallaway]

Yea the head is way flat compared to a human, and your right about the eyes too. thanks for the crit. =]

[AET23]

wow dude, this is very impressive. also for a moment when i saw the first reference pic i thought it was your work hahah. and yeah i bowly, the head does need to be a bit flatten down and the eyes a bit more closer. great job so far dude

[Thyme]

This is looking really badass! Great details already! I do not envy you wrassling with high poly counts in maya though...

[DisturbeD2k]

Never knew that terminators had such a colgate smile :D
Good work so far will be interested to see the tex. Hopefully just not a msasive DGS matterial

[WyattHarris]

Never knew that terminators had such a colgate smile :D

In the future you can tell a terminator from a human by their bright shiny teeth. Dental hygiene has sadly been lost to time. Lol, sorry that just seemed funny to me.

[JStruck]

Looking good! One crit though I think his chin needs to be a bit more square.

[AJStark]

Wow, looking amazing. I can't wait to see the final model. Good luck with your texturing as well.

Alex-

[SantoAnderson]

Yup, he's definitely rocking the Inspector Gadget teeth:
http://blogs.theage.com.au/schembri/inspector.jpg

[TimCallaway]

worked on the feet a little bit, was hard to find good ref for them, but It looks alright. I think there is a ball joint connection the more I look at the joint there (which would make sense right?)

Will cut details into them soon =]

http://trc382.aisites.com/TermyFeet%20copy.jpg

[countdown5]

I dont have them on me right now... but the factory scene in T-One (damaged foot dragging on ground) and the opening shots of T-2 (crushing the skull) should give you some good views.

Ill see if I can get some screen caps.

edit:

This might help...

http://gothicatrocity.com/props/terminator/terminator2.jpg

[TimCallaway]

Thanks alot man =]

[buryme]

beautiful job so far! Here is a pic of the foot I had on my hd, hope it helps.

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/2445/endofootreal01jg0.jpg

[TimCallaway]

Thanks alot Buryme! That solved all my questions about it. If you look closely my foot is upside down =[

[RoyalFlush555]

So we were looking at the bottom of the foot in class today.......

wow, i feel stupid.

Anyway thanks for the help today Tim. Ill let you know when I have some textures on the ship that im relatively happy with.

[korukun]

i think the only way you're going to get that chrome to feel right is by the reflections. that foot in the picture above looks like tin foil without the surounding area. just a thought.

[TimCallaway]

Yea Royal I thought we were looking at it upside down today lol. Buryme's pic set that to rest. I've corrected that already. And korukun, yea the textures are in need of some love =]

[TimCallaway]

Just starting to put everything together. From now on it's just details some pushing and pulling but not much.

[TimCallaway]

I am currently rendering some hdr tests. The head doesn't look right to me.. I might scratch it and try again. It's been 2 1/2 hours for this render and not done yet. and soon as I have a couple I'll post them. I need serious input of the head guys. Thanks

[TimCallaway]

Ok here are some renders of the model so far. Texture needs alot of work. Tons of detail still. and the head looks funny... what you think?.
http://trc382.aisites.com/Term_01%20copy.jpg

http://trc382.aisites.com/Term_02%20copy.jpg

[bowly]

Those renders look great but they don't make it easy to see if anything is wrong with the model, put a specular but none reflective material on the model (well that's what I would do) then it will make life alot easier. Wont look as pretty but u can save the pretty for later :)

[Tasp]

Hey Tim, your progress is amazing! The face does still look a little off, from what I'm seeing in McGreed's pics in this thread there are a few details that seem to be making it just a little out of whack.

The eye sockets are a little too big I think, they should be a little narrower and the brow should be a little less sharp in it's rise from the mid point between the eyes. The expression on the terminator reference is almost slightly sad, your terminator looks like he's about to f' you up. While that's pretty spooky it might be what's throwing it off slightly. Also one more little thing that I'd love to see is the cpu access on the head's right side. You know, the part they open when the reprogram the Terminator in T2 so he can learn.

But mostly, this is looking so cool! Just add some glowy eyes and it will look awesome!

[TimCallaway]

You know, the part they open when the reprogram the Terminator in T2 so he can learn.

I honestly don't recall this part of the movie... You're sure this was T2? I've just watched this like 30 times since I started this model lol. If there is that part I'd like to add that to my work =]

[Tasp]

It's a scene from the special edition it's about 70minutes in. Here's a part of McGreed's pic with what I'm talking about

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b133/stillzero/Terminator1563.jpg

Here's a youtube of what I'm talking about

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cm_rLXFivM

[TimCallaway]

Well I finaly done it..

http://trc382.aisites.com/SonofaB.jpg

[TimCallaway]

Working on the head still, looking more like the terminator now. Still alot to go lol.
http://trc382.aisites.com/Head_better1.jpg
http://trc382.aisites.com/Head_better2.jpg

[TimCallaway]

Head comming along now, just testing some texture in zbrush. Comments are welcome =]
http://trc382.aisites.com/Terminator_poly.jpg

[Deepam]

Head is looking cool !!

But the texture needs some correction, as it is disturbing the look of the head shape, too much big reflection is the cause I think.

[WyattHarris]

Well I finaly done it..

Oh noes! Poor mental ray, lol.

This last render looks really good. What was changed because it looks a lot different and more accurate. Something about the overhead lighting in that previous render gave him a huge overbite.

[TimCallaway]

That's because he actually had an overbite :D I wasnt' watching the alignment of the teeth lol. Thanks for the comments guys =]

[TimCallaway]

well, onto the final detailing phase. :wip:

It's crazy how many little details areon this guy. After the details, will do a final clean up and gonna to take care of any pinching found =]

http://trc382.aisites.com/Full%20body%20copy.jpg

[TimCallaway]

And heres a shot of the backside of Termy

I am undecided on how the pistons on his legs connect from the hip to his knees.. I'm trying to figure out how that work really work. I'll take any sugestions if you guys got them. That's why the knees are different :sad: .http://trc382.aisites.com/Fullbody_back%20copy.jpg

[teleman]

Nice t800 model. I worked on my version quite sometime ago. a lot of hard modeling.
Not my preferred technique though.

[TimCallaway]

lol thanks =]

[Tasp]

Wow it's looking great Tim!

The face looks much better now nice job on the fixes.

[redwatty]

hey good work man, a terminators a tough model to do, I just finished mine recently,

I have some blueprints if you want them? Also the pelvis doesn't look right, I have some blueprints for that aswell if u want?

Other than that super work dude, I'm rigging mine now, its a headache.

[TimCallaway]

Thanks alot tasp =]
Redwatty Thanks, and yea the hip is way off, I;ll take whatever you got.

[redwatty]

I couldnt find all the blueprints, they use be on endobuilders but there forums been down a while now, the pelvis ones in there though, loads of images here. couldnt sort em all but should give you some good reference material

great piece as always...

[TimCallaway]

Thanks countdown5, I appreciate it =]

[redwatty]

hey sorry if that url was bad, try this:
http://anchorpoint.dreamhosters.com/termreference.rar

[MysticDread]

Hey Tim. Looking great so far!

Could you post some closer renders of just the chest piece and head pieces (just the skull shell parts).?

All of the little parts look amazing - pistons, plates, details, fingers, toes, rods, eyes, bars, etc... Truly fantastic!

The key large parts (chest and head plates) have been hard to see in a few of the renders due to reflectivity and size. These will be the key areas to get right and I'd love to get a good close look at them again since the changes you have made.

Anyway, keep up the great work. This has been a fun thread to follow.

[TimCallaway]

Will do =]

[TimCallaway]

Here's a quick shot of the head and breastplate... I'm currently adding more geometry in them for the finer details ( That's why there is hella pinching in some areas where there wasn't before). Will have a update with everything smoothed out after the details are cut in.http://trc382.aisites.com/Breast_head_01%20copy.jpg

[TimCallaway]

hey sorry if that url was bad, try this:
http://anchorpoint.dreamhosters.com/termreference.rar

You know what man, I finally got to check out these references...and I tell you what..\
This is excellent stuff, Thanks again

[redwatty]

hey great man, glad they where helpful, stick with this model for sure, when i modelled mine my modelling skills improved a great deal, each part takes some planning and maybe a couple of attempts at modelling, gets a biit annoying but in the end its well worth it.

I wish you all the best with this as I know how much of a pain it is to model.

[CGORBIT]

I just want to say that this is looking great. I have not been online in a while so I saw this when you started but wow. I am loving this.

How did you get the detail in the legs areas?

is it a boolean? It looks to be carved out.

[TimCallaway]

Thanks alot Oniken =] But naw I haven't used any booleans, just using split poly and inset edgeloop only lol. It's been fun .

[TimCallaway]

Just got him posed, and starting the final detailing and texturing in Zbrush =]

http://trc382.aisites.com/ZBrush%20Document.jpg

[MichaeleBJohnson]

very nice man, are you dinging him up in zbrush or is he a shiny new terminator?

[TimCallaway]

Thanks MichaeleBJohnson =]

He'll be kinda dinged up, with some nice scratches. I want him to look at least a little worn for a terminator.

[TimCallaway]

Just an Occlusion pass for you guys =]
http://trc382.aisites.com/Termy_03%20copy.jpg

"I'll take mine gold plated please."



...if the terminators had an Oscer. :D

[farazmobin]

hey tim..the exoskeleton is looking sweet..and your almost done,can i borow your exoskeleton :)

[TimCallaway]

hey tim..the exoskeleton is looking sweet..and your almost done,can i borow your exoskeleton :)

Thanks alot... and maybe :rolleyes:

[redwatty]

hey great work, modelling is nice, I dont want to sound negative here but theres 2 things that are bothering me:

1. the head looks a little too small
2. the legs look too big for the body

maybe its the angle of the shot, so I appologise if it is.

[TimCallaway]

2. the legs look too big for the body

You know, I just got the same crit from my brother and my wife. So your right about the head, I'm debating on the legs still, I think it's the angle of the shot but I'm checking the overall scale of everything too. Thanks alot =]

[redwatty]

ill render some shots of mine out for ya, overall hes 7 foot, a little taller than normalbut should be able to adjust him to 6.5 easily, i just wanted a bigger endo, get back to ya soon

[redwatty]

ok heres a front n side view of mine (looks poor with no textures), also I have no pistons on the legs or traps so thats something to note, but hopefully these should give you a good starting point for proportions

edit: looking at your model again, I think once the head is bigger the legs may look right, its hard to tell at the minute but yeah I think its just his head.

http://www.redwatty.org/front.jpg
http://www.redwatty.org/side.jpg

[TimCallaway]

Thanks for your help Redwatty:D

Testing some stuff in Zbrush atm. =]

http://trc382.aisites.com/Hehe2.jpg

[redwatty]

Looking awesome with those textures, keep it up ;)

[TimCallaway]

Just working on the finer details, It's a bit much atm.... but that will change overall =]
Just wanted to show where this is headed.

http://trc382.aisites.com/Holyshit.jpg

[WyattHarris]

Whoa, biiiggggg update lol. That's a good start on the textures. He looks like he's been through the ringer.

[SinisterUrge]

Very cool. I think you need something in the scene to reflect off the metal to give a bit of added realism? What are you rendering the model with? Also, he looks like he's been left out in the rain too long, poor fella :). I prefer the shiny, new look myself personally. A perfect chrome like finish

[TimCallaway]

This was a test on the texture so it might not be final

It will in the end be rendered with mentalray, with some nice HDR, I want the whole fire look =]

[TimCallaway]

Finally got the chrome looking the way I want it to =]
Now just making all my displacement maps from zbrush to maya now. Getting close to the end=]

http://trc382.aisites.com/Mat%20copy.jpg

[MysticDread]

Looking great Tim. Most of my (silent) critiques have been addressed as you have worked forward.

The skull has gone through tons of great changes. If anything it may be a touch small on the shoulders, but it's hard to picture as my head would look small on my shoulders too if it were only a skull with no skin and muscle.

Texturing is looking great as well.

[TimCallaway]

lol, you know people keep telling me that. I keep making it larger and it still looks small. I'm just gonna make one where it's so huge =]

[MichaeleBJohnson]

o.o verry very nice, would you be willing to help me with the texture job on my terminalien? i have lots to learn in that area, and this looks fantastic to me.

[TimCallaway]

No problem =]

[TimCallaway]

Adjusted the head size on the model, hope it's not too big =]

http://trc382.aisites.com/Mat3.jpg
http://trc382.aisites.com/Mat02.jpg

[MysticDread]

That feels right!

Wonderful! :cool:

[redwatty]

wow looking great !!!

[WyattHarris]

Oh yeah, looks like gun metal grey. Very good effect.

[StevenEgan]

Damn! These latest renders are looking great!

[Locusta]

Now you nailed it!! Proportion is well done now. Head is not too big. Anatomical accurate. Seems like about a 8 Head overall tall body. Perfect!

The latest renderings are stunning. Great HDR lightning and already very good balanced reflectivity of the chrom.

Great Terminator you got here. Keep it going until the end. Thumbs up!!

[TimCallaway]

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Almost done with the Phased rifle, will post after class tonight =]

[SinisterUrge]

Excellent job. The material you've chosen looks a tad like jelly. The reflection off metal is sharp and high contrast, you got close but the blend in light and dark values have a smooth transition. Fix that and it'll really pop

[TimCallaway]

Got the gun looking the way I want it to. Normal maps are not applied to anything on the model yet. It keeps crashing everytime I try at the moment. This is still basic materials with just a color map on the gun =]

You know taking two hours for 1 render is killing me :argh:

http://trc382.aisites.com/Update_01%20copy.jpg

[Tasp]

You know taking two hours for 1 render is killing me :argh:

Yea, but they sure are worth it!

[TimCallaway]

Applying color maps and naromal maps now =]
http://trc382.aisites.com/GunUpdate_comp1%20copy.jpg

[MysticDread]

Howdy Tim...

So, I can't help but just be blunt about this one. I feel that the gun is simply not working with the rest of the image. It looks like a plaything in the hands of a beautiful model. My eyes keep drifting towards it wishing it wasn't there.

Perhaps the gun should be revisited from the ground up with the same attention to detail the Terminator recieved. Most likely a flat(ish) black, non-reflective material will work wonders once the gun has more details.

Yea was a hopless speed model trying to get somewhere for class. Ain't happening. :cry:

[Didiita]

Hey Tim, that's pretty awesome! It looks great!
I'm impressed!!!
I think, in my opinion the only thing that looks a little funky in the recent renders are the feet, aren't they too small?
maybe I'm just not looking at it right, or maybe its feet are small... but yeah just thought I'd share that with you!

Looks great tho!

[MichaeleBJohnson]

how the hell did you get this guy to render? ive been trying and trying, but i crash maya every time XP

[Deepam]

This is looking real Hardcore Modeling stuff ! :buttrock:

I am amazed ! how you see the mechanizm in so much detail.

Is there something imaginary also involved ?

[TimCallaway]

Didiita: Thanks alot =] I made the feet bigger.

Deepam: Thanks for the nice comments glad you like it =] I've tried to make it accurate as I could so far =]

Overhaulin' the head... I didn't like the way the head turned out. It wasn't the look I was going for.
This is looking more like the head I wanted to begin with.
Will kick out som erenders of it so far in a bit =]

I got to say, much much much much better, looking fabulous, the head has some right hard places to model, and you've done a real nice job indeed, keep it up .

[MysticDread]

Wow! That's quite a chenge.

Overall, it looks much better. The bottom jaw is awesome! Those newly made details are so much more crisp and accurate.



Pay special attention to the various gaps around the different metal panels. Specifically the gap between the eyes and the forehead area - right now it looks consistent yet maybe overlapping a little. The seam running arcoss the top of the head may need a tiny bit of adjusting as well - I can see the specular highlights and reflections bowing just slightly where they seam come together.
- Both of those areas are super close... just could use some minor adjustments.

Also, the teeth looked better in the old renders. The ones in the current renders look too simple, straight, and white.


Beautiful overhaul of the head!

[TimCallaway]

Redwatty: Thanks alot =]

Dread: I appreiciate the crits. made changes to fit.

Well, These renders are not the final ones yet. I need to upgrade my computer further to get maya to render the quality I want :wip:

I believe my next posts will be final.

Cheers =]

keepin in Tight Tim...great stuff...i know this is still a wip..but i think reducing the glowing eyes or maybe set the glow to red(right now it think its white) may look better.

[DDS]

wow man this is extraodinary. Keep on goin. I agree with Faraz's comments...

[SinisterUrge]

Very well execuated, great job Tim. I think you have plenty of time to make a scene, perhaps a battle scene set in the future with loads of terminators attacking like the opening scene to T2

[TimCallaway]

farazmobin: Thank you! hope this is better.

DDS: Thank you!

SinisterUrge: Thank you! I'm gonna make a scene, if I can stop with the "oh I could still do this phase" =]

They suspended my school web account. That's where I've been putting all my images at lol. I guess on those school accounts they give the students very little bandwidth. I don't know how long they suspended it for either, they can eat me.
