Terminator Future War Bust

[Too Much Garlic]

Anybody got more pictures of this bust? It has more details than the pictures I was using from the Heritage Auctions casting.

This is the Heritage Auctions casting.

OH HELLLLLL YES! I was obsessed with that Zombified Infiltrator T-900 sculpt for like... a month, until i realized finding him would be near impossible, i settled for a stylized framed portrait of him instead, and chucked it in my closet for now, haha. I read up on the whole story of the sculpts origin, etc.

Would absolutely LOVE to see how you end up with yours - so cool.

Where can you read about that sculpt's origin? It inspired me to do this project, though decided to do the T1 final battle damage first.

It was produced by a guy named Mark Villalobos/ Monster FX or whatever. He apparently ended up ripping a lot of the clients off. I found on him IG and asked if he'll ever produce another, lol.... only 10 years too late. If you google his name and some keywords like infiltrator t-900, etc , youll pull up a lot of old threads of people upset at the guy lol. On FB i found a guy who has the STL model( or very similar one) , but claims he lost the file and states he was removed from the purchase site years ago.... *shrugs*

edit: looks different actually, but still- wish i could find stuff like this

Heres the one from Mark Villalobos , but a rare resin copy and sold years ago- cant get em.

Love those zombie Terminators

Looks great and thanks for the info. Too damn bad he ripped people off. The damage on the endoskull doesn't make much sense, though.

Have made a lot of mistakes regarding the accuracy of the scar damage, though it can be fixed to look good - resembling what the original prop looked like, but it won't be 100%. I am okay with that because I don't want to go back and fix it, so this will just be my interpretation of the damage.

Still a lot of work to be done on the cheek damage and then I'll start with the ear. I had already started, but wasn't satisfied, so went back to the model before I stated that damage and worked some more on the cheek instead.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Did some work on the ear, got it to turn out much better this time. Basically, in order to more easily get to all angles, I removed the ear, sculpted the damage, then merged it back to the head.

Also did some more work on the cheek damage. May do more, but think I'll switch to the other side of the face now.

I love this!!!

Thanks. Lost the files yesterday, but was able to load cached versions, so didn't lose any progress. Though, did panic for a bit.

Worked on fixing an issue with the right eye socket. Had to trim the area away from the rest of the bust, but for some reason it wouldn't connect, when I merged the two models back together. I tried several things, but they just added errors to other parts of the model and didn't merge the eye socket section to the rest anyway, so had to trim the outer edge polygons away from the socket model and then merge the models and then basically redo the missing geometry between the two parts... painstakingly... one triangle at a time... which took 2 days to finish. Had to save at short intervals at it had a habit of crashing the program, so had to make sure I'd saved at least some progress from time to time.

Will hopefully start working on the battle damage on the other side of the face this weekend.

Didn't have as much energy, so this is what I did today. The damage on the nose and lip. At least a little is also something. Don't mind the missing ear on the one side. Haven't finished working on it and haven't put it back on the head yet. Forgot to load it.

 

[joberg]

Really looking great

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Thanks.

Barely have any energy, but have been slowly adding the ear back onto the bust, one triangle at a time. Slow and tedious work but just about the only thing I can manage.

Tried working on the damage on the right side of his face a few days ago, but wasn't satisfied with how it looked, so dumped all that work.

Finally attached the ear back onto the bust. Rotated it to see how everything looked and hit a point where I just exclaimed:

"GET OUT!"

Because it reminded me of that scene. So... I think I'm gonna call it that.

Anyone have any good reference of the right side of his face? The opposite side of the major battle damage? It's hard to make out that side in the movie as that part is mostly hidden in shadow. I want to check out the damage just in front of the ear, and the scratches on his temple.

Best I could find.

Perfect. Thanks so much. Just what I needed.
