Terminator Production Line
-
Thought id post some of my other work as work on my star trek scene has stopped now until this is finished. recently I bought the artbook for the new terminator film over 240 pages of just concept art and cgi models. At the back there where five or six pages on the terminator production line so I thought it would be cool if i produced a number of stills showing the different phases of assembly. So far ive completed three over the last month or so. The clay renders are in Podium and the final images are in Photoshop drawn over the sketchup images. Im three quarters of the way through writing a tutorial in this technique hopefully it will be finished by next week.
Thanks for Xazer I used his model head for a base to edit upon it with some extra details and fine tuning. Im making my own terminator from scratch its about 60% complete you can see it in the final post with the muscle growth chamber and ill replace it with his head in the first post.
My terminator comes complete with layers of muscle and skin and will be battle damaged/scared. Im having to assemble it in blender as the poly count is killing sketchup, you should see a finished version by the weekend I might post what ive done so far later.

And here is the arm assembly, not completly happy with this yet so needs a lil bit more work
-
And saving the best for last here is the muscle growth. They should probably be in some sort of tank but I thought it would look better like this, and was also happy with the striking pose with the arms pulled behind them.
I started off making a tank but it just didnt look right so I started from scratch. And ended up with this...

Wow, great work.
-
amazing stuff! -
In case you didnt read the first post the first two terminators are edited versions of Xazers model from the warehouse. Thats a T-800 im making the T-700. When its finished ill go back and stick mine in its place. The one with the muscle is my model from scratch its about 60% complete, going to be epic when its done! stay tuned.
-
wow..this is going to be awesome!

Impressive!
The flesh, was it created in SketchUp?
Can you also show a shot of the flesh with Hidden Geometry on? I would like to see the intersections up close.Nah mate I honestly did try but my sketchup skills dont stretch as far as to create organic looking tissue, it was just too blocky. Sketchup just doesnt provide the tools to create such items. I know it can be done ive seen people do it but it would have taken me to long. I used 3dsmax8 converted the mesh to 3ds and made each individual body part so it could be moved around in SU. i edit some parts of the mesh so they would intersect with my terminator model. Ill post some pics of the hidden geometry if you would like?
However i would also be interested to know how you 'would' go about creating the muscle tissue using sketchup alone? without having to resort to another programme.Ive just finished another image ill post that later, its a true fusion between organic figures and SU. basically in the book humans are harvested for flesh and have metal appliances grafted to them, sort of like the borg form star trek. Well its my favourite so far bit gory but ill post it when I can and show the hidden line version aswell for those who are interested.
-
well here are some updates and the hiddel line pics somebody asked for. Incase you didnt read earlier the human organic shapes where imported from max.
-
thats very cool, what sort of final presentation are going after?
are you going to animate it or just have a few stills??
-
Probably just stills. My texturing isnt that great so i brush up in photoshop, for that reason alone animation is out of the question at the moment.
