[Locusta]

Man, he looks so stunning. Your knowledge about anatomy and to get a decent likeness, fascinates me totally!

Best Arni bust I´ve ever seen. Keep him going. Thumbs up!!

[TimCallaway]

Nice test =] I'm diggin' it bro

[majid-smiley]

great work !

[farazmobin]

hey guys

heres an update...ive been working on his body for the past week..sorry i didnt post the updates,it wasnt looking ok...but i promise to keep updating quickly..gota bunch of holidays til the 7th...planing to finish his clothing till then

i know modeling the body wasnt improtant and i should have gone with the clothing directly but it was fun..aslo i can use it for future refrences.

[StevenEgan]

Wow! This is truly amazing. Very nice!

Your knowledge of anatomy, and your sculpting ability are phenomenal! Arnold himself would be envious of this body. :thumbsup:

In my opinion, this is the best Arnold we have in this competition.

[southparx]

agree :)

the face is spot on Arnie, and you capture the chest exactly alike too.. and the whole anatomy is nice too... hehee you inspire me to work on mine further :drool:

keep us updated

cheers,
andrew

[farazmobin]

hey man, hair looks really cool! Good job on clothes too. Needs some more work on the face likeness part tho. Good stuff :thumbsup:

[MrWilde]

Awesome. I thought that Schwarzenegger doesn't have such visible veins. Stallone does since he inflated himself with growth hormones. ;)

[Deracus]

it´s nothing short of amazing, what you pull off here!

Great likeness.
Only the very visible veins are distracting me a bit right now. I would make them less prominent.

But besides of that...great!

[StevenEgan]

Amazing! I really like this. Though I also agree about the veins looking at it now.

[Itsgallus]

hello Farazmobin

WHOA...dude.....Excellent Work... on the clothes , and the Hair:thumbsup:

Keep going.....

//Cheers..

[samarcbz]

man arnold is lookin awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

seriously man great likeness.. u nailed the upperbody as it is man...
keep it up..

[DoomedSeraph]

Utterly amazing. Great work.

[oliveira]

yes!! looks great!! really love it!

Alex Oliver

[Antropus]

Sweet model man. I like the neutral pose, clothing and general anatomy. The likeness is pretty close but still need a tiny bit of work in my opinion. Very promising. Keep it up!

-Kris

[Deepam]

hey man, hair looks really cool! Good job on clothes too. Needs some more work on the face likeness part tho. Good stuff :thumbsup:
Just telling what I am thinking, may be wrong :shrug:

About head - as you are working on Arnold of Terminator2, I think you can either increase the height a little bit or decrease the width. Plus that buccinator area is looking much extruded.
Refer this image -
http://www-itp.particle.uni-karlsruhe.de/~sh/pic/Terminator2_1.gif

Other then its going to be a perfect piece. :thumbsup:

[farazmobin]

thanx guys...im rite now ripping my butt hair off trying to see the likness..threw my wacom pen a dozen times..watched T2 about 11 times form the last post...matched all the refrences..fixing the likness a bit form one angle..then fixing the face forms a bit form another angle...then going back to scratch cos i fixed a bit too much.. :P .ill come up with somethin soon ..gona sleep and start off with a new day...thanx again on pointing out the likeness part.

[farazmobin]

hope these are better...guys please let me know.

http://farazmobin.com/hmc16/wip12.jpg

http://farazmobin.com/hmc16/wip11.jpg

[StevenEgan]

I did not think it was possible, but yes this does look better! The face is more like Arnold now, and the veins are very nice now.

[ChewyPixels]

Looking more and more like Arnie! I think once you break up the symmetry the likeness will be spot on.

[DDS]

looking awesome :thumbsup: Brow wrinkles look a little too symmetrical and uniform

[sanketpro3d]

looking really awesome buddy!! the resemblance is ther ..plus i liked the hairs a lot.. i can see a little expression on the face .. is that intentional ?? anyways... inspiring work as usual.. :buttrock:

[bradjames]

yup this really came together..looks more like him for sure now. Love the muscles also..very natural feel to them..great job

[farazmobin]

StevenEgan:thanx buddy.i saw your reply and was happy you liked it.

DDS:thanx buddy you have always bee helpful, BTW did u start Mgs4,Gta4

sanketpro3d:thanx bud..but weres your Pumkinhead :curious:..stil waiting for updates.

bradjames: thanx buddy.glad you liked it

Jedi-Juice: thanx on the tip testing it out..really working well

hey guys here an update.did som clothes and shoes..ima finalize it by tomorow and then start of jacket. Ohh scheet.arnies half metal face and M134 minigun still remains :eek:
http://farazmobin.com/hmc16/wip13.jpg

[StevenEgan]

Brilliant! I really like the clothing. You still have a few things to do (as you said) but I think you should have enough time... Don't rush! This is a great model! I can't wait to see it finished.

[majid-smiley]

great man !

[samarcbz]

God damn man.. he looks excatly like arnold..
HE is the TERMINATOR...
thats some serious gormet S**T .
keep it comming man.. its gonna be a great entry...

[anto-toni]

Man that look amazing, but be aware somewhere in process you have lost likeness to Arnold. Get back to some image plains.

[lokendra]

amazing stuff man, really cool.... Its not look like Arnold... Its really arnold:cool:

[DDS]

wow he definitely looks like a statue of Arnold. Until here, awesome. Then, and like any other statue that is not properly balanced, it will fall forward! I think his gesture is way too straight, I'd give some more curves and weight to the neutral pose. I might be wrong, maybe with some side view...

cheers man, keep rockin hmc!

[farazmobin]

@DDS: yo yo...thanx manill definitely look into fixing his pole pose..also will post some side views next time :)

@locky:Thanx buddy.

@skulll-monster: thanx man.

@samarcbz: yea boi..i go and buy the expensive stuff..when barney goes she buys shi*

@StevenEgan:alaways a pleasure to get your ok

also im really sorry for no updates lately. moved to a place with no internet access,ill get my updated wips next time im at the cybercafe.so far im finishing up with his jacket and grenadelauncher bullets,should be donw by tonight.will start on the minigun and his pose tomorow.

thanx again guys
cheers

[MisterE]

Wow, what a big improvement. I think from the front view, the likeness is very close. However, I feel from the side and 3qtr views, it looks as though the lips might be placed too high, or the jaw line itself needs to pushed downward. Additionally - and this could be a camera angle distortion thing - in the "wip13.jpg" image, the entire head seems like it could be stretched out in the y-axis (Maya)/z-axis (Max), up-down position.

Hope this helps! Can't wait to see what your final looks like!

[farazmobin]

hey guys...this is my last wip...i will have to probably stay awake the whole day if i want to finish his pose and the minigun.just hope i dont run into any problems..cheers

WOW!! :eek: Here's to hoping you finish in time! :beer:

[sanketpro3d]

really really amazing as always.. the jacket is really blowing (specally after luking at your base model).. just one thing .. from the side pose, he seems to me like leaning towards front.. may be its a persp prob but anyways.. rreally inspiring stuff.. keep it up .. all the best.:buttrock:

[Deepam]

Oh dear !!

what an amazing piece of work is here . . . WoW :eek:

great work on clothes and props as well. :applause:


nice job ! and Best Wishes for the challenge ! :thumbsup:

[sanketpro3d]

yo yo ,,, kickass stuff .. top row .. u did it again man .. really inspiring stuff. .. :beer:
5 stars.

[farazmobin]

thanx guys...heres the steps i took to make the jacket

http://farazmobin.com/hmc16/constructJACKET.jpg

JACKET:

1. Made a lowpoly model of the jacket around the bodybase mesh in 3dsmax and exported it zbrush

2. Subdivide the mesh and started fixing the proportion of certian things like flaps,collars etc.

3. Adding all the pockets, zipper borders and stitch lines. NO FOLD or WRINKLES ADDED YET.

4. Adding Folds STARTING FORM LOWER SUBDIVS and then going a level up as this defines the base for each subdiv level.Using diff Ref images for each part of the jacket (collars,armpit,back,elbow). the final wrinkles and small folds can be added in the final subdiv level after its starting to look good.

at this point you can add the zippers and belts ie imported form max9 or maya ,,or you can do this in the final posing step.i did it before the posing

5. Posing the jacket using Tranposmaster Plugin on zbrushcentral, helps you pose multiple subtools together . some time it doesnt work or crashes,this is mainly due to errors like

a. the lowest subdiv is really high or there are no lower subdiv's
b. the low subdiv is extracted form another subtool and has uneven borders(will explain in the Hair Part that ill post soon )
c. mesh containing Triangles
d. some times even renaiming the subtool fixes this .

hope this has been helpful to some.will post the Hair part soon too.thanx

[webhead]

Absolutely fantastic work here! Great to see all the WIP stuff, as well.

[RTjunior]

Fantastic thread! Great sculpting! Amazing work!

[majid-smiley]

great work man !

[farazmobin]

http://farazmobin.com/hmc16/constructhair.jpg

HAIR:

1. Usually we can make a seperate mesh for the hair, but i extract out a mesh form the head as this will match closest to his head

2. Mask the surface of the head from where the hair is going to grow out.nothing accurate just a simple mask is ok

3. Now we Extract the masked area as a seperate mesh.its upto you at what subdivision you want to extract it.but its always better to extract it at a lower subdiv with evenborders if its going to be posed. i didnt do this and suffered this time :(

4. Using Move(Tweak) Brush ,pull out hair strands and spikes, go to a higer subdiv and keep pulling.using ATL+this bursh pulls out polygons perpendicular to the surface.also used the standard brush to give more shape and flow to the hair.

5. Posing the hair along with the body using Tranposmaster Plugin on zbrushcentral, helps you pose multiple subtools together . when extracting the low subdiv hair mask always remenber to extract with even borders as in the image below
http://farazmobin.com/hmc16/evenborder.jpg
i really dont know why this happens.i think its cos if we go lower subdivs in unevenborders ...the sticking out polygon seem to dissapear. this is not the case in even borders.

These steps might not be the best tutorial in all cases as you gota deal with everysituation in a diff way, but i found these to be the best at that moment.

hope these were helpfull. thanx

[sanketpro3d]

thanx a lot for sharing the stuff man .. will surely keep it in mind next i do any complex model ..
