About Cain digital face.
This is an extract from an article published in CINEFEX nĀ°45 about Robocop 2 FX.
I think since it is a CG forum, this little trip in the digital FX history might interest some of you.

Itā€™s awesome see how it was more difficult realize VFX in the pastā€¦

Thanx for the ā€œvintage tipsā€ :slight_smile:

Bye

#65

Itā€™s turning out really good. Thats all I have to say :drool:

#66

That was a good article but I have the feeling I may have read it before. Still the mention of the names deGraf & Wahrman led me to read up on a guy who got his first job on the Blob remake - it was his hand that popped up out of the sink! - and apparently he got the job not because he begged to go in but simply because he trying to sue somebody that was on the vfx department!

But heres a link to the Robocop 2 page on his site. Its got links to other projects like The Abyss, The Guardian, Pet Semetary II and so on. Definitely a good laugh.

Re: Trenox.

Sorry to hijack your WIP! :beer:

#67

Boone: No problem man =) Iā€™m enjoying all this stuff as much as everybody else =)

#68

Hey buddy, I think you forgot to post the link.:hmm:
Iā€™m eagerly waiting to read what you found.:wink:

#69

Iā€™ve gotta say, this thread and so many others are giving me a whole new respect for the films that inspired them. Iā€™ve never seen Robocop or Robocop 2, but dangit, once this challenge is over I think Iā€™ll go out and rent them. And Short Circuit.

Youā€™ve done more than capture a likeness of the character here; better than that youā€™ve captured your enthusiasm for it, and thatā€™s truly infectious.

#70

WOW!! :cool:
Are you a college boy or some-et.
Your modelleing is sweeee-et. :bowdown:
Realy looking forward to seeing some colour renders. :wink:

#71

Dude, you donā€™t know what youā€™re missing. Those are classics!

I must say, youā€™re doing a kick-ass job on RoboCain, Trenox! Letā€™s see the next update! :bounce:

#72

I agree, they are truly classics and the robot designs including Short Circuit still looks incredible even today.

Trenox good job so far! Keep it up!

Time for an update. The first arm is done (although tweaking may occour)

Chrisbeaver: Thats really awesome to hear man. And yes you absolutely must see those two movies. But skip the third one at all cost :wink:

Thx a bunch all of you and thx for the stars! :cool:

#75

Thats coming along quite nicely. Keep up the good work.

#76

Iā€™ll speak to you later Boone ā€¦:slight_smile:

superb modelling. Pity (for you at least) that both arms arenā€™t the same ā€¦

#77

Adding more credit and respect to his incredible job.:wink:
Donā€™t forget Cain got 4 different arms. Thatā€™s a real challenge!!!:bowdown:

Trenox, youā€™ve done one hell of a job on this arm.
I canā€™t wait to see your work on the minigun arm.:drool:
I PMed you.

#78

Superb progress! Thatā€™s a mean job you managed to pull on the arm there, so keep up the great work.

Cheers!

PS: Heck yeah! Robocop 1&2 are action-movie milestones! Anybody who hasnt seen them is most assuredly missing out on some great classic 80ā€™s shoot-em-up action blockbusters. Go rent em!

#79

No no Short circuit rocks ! You need to see it, classic 80ā€™s filming at itā€™s best, and to my knowledge very little CG in it, if any ! Radio Controlled wonder number 5 :slight_smile:

#80

:surprised ā€¦:argh: This is hilarious. lol
I thought this movie was dumped into outerspace with other low rate 80ā€™s B-movies a long time ago.
No way could you compare it to the mecha design, highly satyrical story , xtrem action of any robocop movie.:slight_smile:
Sorry! My mistake. You can always compare it to robocop 3.
This one sucks a ton.

Chrisbeaver: Avoid R3 like hell, itā€™s not even worth the time you will spend watching it. R1 and R2 are the ones you absolutly need to watch, highly recommanded.:cool:
