Terminator 3D Model Animation - Head Rigging

[brivanas]

Hands are way too small but other than that very impressive

[LoveofAphrodite]

thats AWESOME! But if i were locked in a room with it, id cry

[roshankiller520]

less material effect,you should need some material tutorial.

[Runescape4436]

lol

[Ruttie2]

Very very nice! Can i barrow it for a sketch??

[rmacyn]

What is it you want to borrow? Some pics?

[reptile202]

@rmacyn How does his head lift completely up and down without the pistons bending? What connects the piston to the back of his head?

[reptile202]

@rmacyn How far can his head lift?

[BassKilla47]

terminator is da shit! this model is ballin keep up the good work (-_-)=b

[thehowlinglionprod]

OMFG AWESOME!

[Pada007gangster]

wat program did you use?? 3d max and after effects in combo??

[rmacyn]

All done in Maya

[Pada007gangster]

i'm trying this 3d max and i'm finding the rotation controls to be very ... unsophisticated..

[rmacyn]

Yeah, I used MAX years ago... found that Maya was a better overall package.

[Sakuzo]

DETAILS!!!!

WOW!!!

[gigsywigsy45]

really stunning amount of detail, very impressive!!!!!

[DMalenfant1]

where did you get your reference for the front, side and back even top maybe?

[ExtremeGam3r64]

Hey, I can give you my references if you want, I know how hard they are to find.

[gigsywigsy45]

could i get the reference to please, im planning on modeling myself a terminator!

[ExtremeGam3r64]

Sure do you have XFire?

[masterofhobbiton]

Not sure you've rigged it properly, when the arms go up you've got a couple of pistons from the chest moving too, but I think those only move with the shoulders themselves, like to shrug. The model is excellent though.

[lafincow12]

its ment to

[masterofhobbiton]

Well, if it is meant to, then he needs to fix the hydraulic cord things; they're supposed to attach to the shoulder but his just disconnects an floats in place when the shoulder rotates.

[rmacyn]

Good call guys... at some point I will fix this!

[zyriuz2]

good work dude u should make a movie with that skills

[Acorbietto]

Yeah true, although I'm afraid there's already been an entire franchise created with that kind of skills. It's called Terminator.

[h1a1l1l1o]

hey where did you got that model?

[terminatorwikifox]

wow nice work dude !!!!!!!!!!!

[randomdude178]

OK a little creeepy when he opens his mouth

[20113118110158141915]

I am creating a model just like this one. Except i'm using a free program called sketchup.

They say it cannot be done, such a complex model using such a simple program.

I have completed 4 fingers and part of the forearm in about 6 or so hours on and off.

701666 edges and 344034 polygons.

The file size itself is a massive 56mb, and thats onyl for 4 fingers!

It's not a crappy model either, it has rounded edges which are softened to look better when rendering.

Really time consuming.

[rmacyn]

this model at one point had 8 million polygons. Rendertime for this animation was 7 hours on my rendering farm. I used a new Network Rendering app ... SquidNet-NDP, nice app, but still lacks good documentation. You might want to checkit our for your renders.

[20113118110158141915]

Thankyou for the advice.

Did you say rendering time was 7 hours!!!

And 8 million polygons OMG!

What's your computer specs btw?

[Kl4pp5tuhl]

@ 0:00

He looks so happy! Daaaaaaaaw.

[gmodesike]

I LOVE THAT TERMINATOR MUSIC!

[ger360]

That was amazing!! I demand more vids!!!!! ^_^

[ComicsLegend]

Awesome Job!!! Very inspiring. How long did it take to model?and what did you use for the texture,What shader? Did you UV unwrap the whole model too before texturing? Thanks.

[rmacyn]

This model tool me about 2 months to model (off and on) has almost 4 million polygons. I just a standard chrome shader for all the parts that are supposed to be metallic.

[GCWTitan]

That is very nice dude very nice. Could you direct me in the right direction in rigging a model for animation and also what 3D program did you use for this?

[rmacyn]

I used Maya for the modeling, animation and rigging. It takes time, but you could learn to do all this yourself (I did). There's hundreds of tutorials/videos on the net that shows you how to use most animation packages .... just be patient and take your time !

[GCWTitan]

Hey man I'm having trouble finding tutorials for this. Can you post or send me the link you used for yours or a link to any tutorials on it please?

[jweinrub]

Very nice!!
