T-800 Terminator Endoskeleton WIP

[chanfan]

Hey folks! I'm new to this forum and I thought I should post what I'm currently working on.
I'm working on a model of the T-800 Terminator Endoskeleton. I did make one of these before but I had never heard of subdivisions back then so I thought I'd give it a new try, this time with subdiv :P
Here is wip of skull:

New update. I'm almost done with the head now. Still some details that will be added to the top part of the skull, cpu sockets and stuff like that :P

Come on! Let me know what you think!

cool
And thats what I think

Hard to give feedback, since you know better than I how it should look. :)

Maybe the teeth looks a bit lowpoly ;)

[Disting]

You're gonna make the entire thing, or just a bust?
Anyways it's looking really great so far! Great amount of details. There are some wobbly areas here and there on the head though due to, I'm pretty sure, some really complex topology.

Could you post a wire?

Keep it up man! Looking forward to updates!

[darkmatter]

Looking great so far, I'll be following this.

[Dave-Mastor]

Good job! There are one or two sketchy areas, but it's impossible to not get those with nurbs/meshsmooth. It's going to look awesome when it's done.

[chanfan]

Thanks guys!

sp0kelset: Yeah haha, those teeth are obviously not final :P

Disting: I am going for the whole thing ;) It'll take a while but it will most certainly go faster than the last time i did it :P Yeah I know, there are still some wobbly areas but I'll try to smooth most of them out, probably later today.

I'll be posting a wire later tonight!

[chanfan]

Allright, here are tonights updates. Not much. I just polished what I had, added some details inside of his nose and gave him teeth. Also added the jaw pistons.

Let me know what you think!

Great work, and great improvement!

Another movie model from a movie I love!
Awesome work man! Keep it up! :)

[fille]

High quality stuff dude! I'm really looking forward to see the rest of it!

[chanfan]

Here's some more progress on the head. The head is pretty much finished now, just need some tweaks to get things smoothed out on the top part of the skull around some of the details there. I added some judgementdayish lights to set the mood. Enjoy!

Coming along nicely! One thing that gets my eye is the lower jaw looks like it's placed too far back or the teeth need to bent more forward.

[Dave-Mastor]

Yeah, the lower jaw looks a little far back. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like this, but the smoothing around some of the holes on the side of the head, behind the eyes, looks a little broken, you may want to work on them little. :pirate:

Coming along nicely! One thing that gets my eye is the lower jaw looks like it's placed too far back or the teeth need to bent more forward.

Thanx! Nah, the lower jaw is placed where it should be, and the slight overbite is just being emphesized by the lights, making it look worse than it really is :P I think it will look different once I model the teeth. If you look at this reference pic you can see the slight overbite that I'm going for (I'm going for less):

[chanfan]

Hehe thanx for that link ludvig!

Here's an update!

[chanfan]

Hey guys! Here's some more progress. I think I'm almost finished with the modeling. I have to add some more pistons, finish the hands and do some tweaks here and there and then I'm going to UV-map and add further details using bump maps, I don't want to mess up the mesh too much with small details.

[AimBiZ]

Lookin good. Got any plans for a pose or perhaps even a scene? :O

[chanfan]

Thanks! Haha well yeah I'm thinking of animating it in some way. I'm thinking of doing the classical "crush the skull with foot then looking back at the horizon scene" from T2. :P

[chanfan]

Well, now I finished the modeling of this sucker. Now all I have to do is UV-map the whole thing wich is going to suck. Then I'm going for a bump or normalmap for the small details.
