2 Wheeled Terminator

As i mentioned in another thread. I was going to do some of characters from the new Terminator film. I started with this low poly version of the bike in the trailer..

Maybe I'll animate him, if i find the time.

As i can find more material on the other new bad guys I might make a couple more..

This is still very low poly, i usually start out like this and see if i need to do more work..

With this model i definitely do, and will do. But first i've got loads of work on so i 'm afraid you'll have to wait..

Here is another shot till i can get back to this..

I'll render hi-res pictures when i have the detail to back it up..

As an example of how low poly this model is, here is a wireframe..

Your use of textures and shading really make it stand out. I didn't notice how low poly it was until i saw your wireframes. Nice work.

Sorry it's been a while coming, i went on to work on the animation. Still not satisfied but I'll have more on the bike simulation / rigging soon..

Main changes here are a cleanup of the mesh, so it works better with specular light and reflections.

I've started to build the arena from Rollerball (crossed with Speedball) and i need my bike rigging to work there too..

Because of a long running Terminator thread i did a while ago, i was asked to do a local advert for a pre-screening of the new film. So i re-worked my T-800 head into a T-600 skull. I can't show the clip or a shot from it till it's stopped playing, but i can show you one of my wip's of the skull..

I'll go into a little more detail when the contract finishes..

Here we are, this is what the final advert looked like..

Glad you liked it..

I've been busy with other things recently but i have been asked to do a small terminator project.

So i got out what i had from before and polished it up with a little of what i've learned over 2009.

I forgot how close I'd come to having him rigged. I think he's gonna get active in early 2010..

Now he needs a minigun..
