Awesome Terminator thread.Thanks for sharing.

Indeed it is. I believe it’s the best Terminator discussion in like forever. Very exciting too. I don’t think we’ve ever seen so much progress towards the ultimate Terminator Endo. A lot of the stuff has been out there for years but it’s all being fine tuned to a point where we will all be pretty happy with the results.

Wow Ghostman those pics are fantastic!!!

Agreed, but the activity here has still dropped a bit. I'm currently occupied with various technological tests (metallization, casting, molds, etc.) and I lack the information to continue making temple inserts.

I could be off, but I think that there is only so much that can be expected with the limitations in play. Only a certain number of people have the physical items needed to contribute, the resources to create and/or a combination of both. The ability to continue to push this forward has a ceiling, no matter how much I want to see everyday progress. I don't and will probably never be able to get my hands on some of the items needed for me to be actual contributor.

I currently have other things pressing that needs my near full attention, but I do work a little on fixing some of my endoskeleton models and try to get a new scan in here and there. I just do not have time to post about it too much.

I just finished doing the majority of combining all the pieces of the first toe into a single piece, going from 14 individual pieces to 4 - Still trying to figure out how we can do the toe tip so it can remain movable as the only piece. It's taking a lot of time... and it was this piece that broke my drive to work on 3D models for a while - my own fault for not saving from time to time during the work, so I lost a lot of progress.

Later I will add the second piston section to the toes - the thinner ones connecting to the ankle cone - but I don't feel like adding them until we find a way to attach the toes to the ankle scan.

Also, the thread about the temple greeblies isn't moving forward in the modeling section. Guess no one recognizes the other bits left besides the ones DeltaDesignRus identified, or they don't want to contribute. That's just how things go sometimes.

For the missing pieces we need to get more complete endoskeleton scans. Well... the people who have them are not interested in sharing or they don't know we are looking for them. So I am now switching over into commissioning a 3D modeler to finish them until we locate someone who is willing to let us scan theirs or offer us castings to scan.

All these things halt progress.

Reworked the LFS upper teeth based on my foam skull. I think it changed the look.

The one on the right are fixed using the M1 teeth as referense. The one in the middle is with foam skull teeth referense. The one to the right is the middle one with some extra tweaks.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

The front upper teeth felt a little "long" to me, so I scaled them back to where the LFS teeth were and though it is a minor change I feel it looks better. So now I will fuse the teeth with the upper skull and reshape the LFS scan to my foam scan as best I can. It won't be perfect... but it will be good enough for what we need this skull scan for.

 

[gizmo]

Wow that looks soo mean. Very nice work!!

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Thanks. We'll probably try to offer these replacement upper teeth for anyone with LFS or licensed skulls.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Teeth and skull have been fused together, so I'll reshape the skull during the weekend.

 

[joberg]

Very good work on the teeth TMG

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Thanks.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Not perfect, but close enough. LFS and LFS reshaped to Foam Skull.

 

[ssdesigner]

They really look amazing TMG! Nice work

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Thanks. The whole left side of the face (right in pictures) is drooping significantly and in different stages on the LFS. Pulling all that up changed the whole look.

I think I see some of the droop already in some of the T2:3D style castings, such as gift skulls, the M1 and all licensed castings except the Timeless which is a different (production style) skull, so some of it could have originated at SWS when they started making those skulls - similar to how that style also always have the M1 style temple inserts. So it seems like a consistent thing with this style and not something that happened just with the LFS skull.

Measure the cylindrical pillar to match the actual size.
Polish the surface with ZBrush's Smooth Brush.
Teeth will be corrected later.

Careful with the smoothing. Try to stop before the grooves, so you don't smoothe them over.


I've been working on simplifying the toes. Got most of the second toe done today. Made a replacement part that makes it easier to fix the toes. Still a lot of work, though.
