TERMINATOR + video tutorial!!

[Sebcesoir]

Here's my last sculpt : an old skinned terminator.

During my work, I've recorded every operations, so I can offer to interested people 5 videos of the process!


Part 1 : from human head to skull head (http://sebleg.free.fr/cg/part1.avi)

Part 2 : from human skull to mecanic skull (http://sebleg.free.fr/cg/part2.avi)

Part 3 : nose details and eyeball (http://sebleg.free.fr/cg/part3.avi)


Part 4 : front high details (http://sebleg.free.fr/cg/part4.avi)


Final part : morph paint from old face into terminator skin (http://sebleg.free.fr/cg/final.avi)

Very nice approach. Thanks alot for the videos, very interesting :tu:

[Aztec...soljA]

the skull it self is awsome! how are u combining the 2 pieces together?
very nice, thx for sharing

[lowkey]

>how are u combining the 2 pieces together?

i think he stored the human skull as morphtarget and morphbrushed it onto the cyborg's head!

[Jaycephus]

Cool!

:tu:

[Rafael Hernandez]

Nice approach. Thanks for the videos

[Sebcesoir]

Yup! You got it! I've started with th old guy's face. it took me many hours to turn it into terminator skull... Not a peace of cake! But I made it. In the final video, you can see the morph bursh in action. i can choose the parts where I want the skull appear..
Look the video!! Its more funny in action!!

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to post the movies Sebcesoir. I will definately be watching them over again.

[LD]

Could I make a request please. Could you (and everyone else out there) please save your movies as QuickTime files. QuickTime is compatible with both PC and Mac computers. Unfortunately my Mac computer's QuickTime can't read avi formatted movies.

I know we aren't as large a community as PCs, but a large number of artists do use the Mac.

Is there any way you can re-save this tutorial in the QuickTime for us Mac people? If not. Is it possible to get a download link where maybe a video editor may be able to read the AVI format.

thank you

Cool de-construction :cool:
Thx for the videos!

Thanks pilou! Your comments are always welcome!

nice

LD: You might want to download the 3ivx codec set for quicktime on mac, I've found it to handle most divx/mpg4 avi's within quicktime just fine.

mestela: Thanks for the tip. I installed the 3ivx codex and was able to watch the movies.

[Sebcesoir]

thanks for the help about the codec...
I hope you will like my videos.
If people are interested in zbrush videos, contact me by e-mail.
If people are interested, I will post videos of my new works.
Hope it will help you!

Wow Sebcesoir! Thanks for sharing your great skills!

[skipstah70]

Sebcesoir... Many thanks!!.. Being a visual person myself, seeing your videos is worth a thousand words ...great job and thanks for posting!:tu: :tu:

Thanks

[Drummer]

hi, very intesting videos !!:tu: :tu:
can I ask you some questions ? the geometrical deformations, how did you make it ? and the green mask for selection ? in the final videdo, you model the skul on the human head......how did you do it?
I' m leaenig yet, and I don't know this way to model .

thank you and good zbrushing:cool:

[custom_junk_mail]

AWESOME! :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Igraz]

Wow, very impressive stuff. :tu:

I hope I can get as good as you one day. :D

[Sebcesoir]

I made geometrical deformatioms using the move tool, to place the diffrents parts of the face correctly.
I also worked a lot on lower resolution mesh to erase details like hairs and hears.
The greens selection is just used to hide parts, I dont rememrmber the shortcut, should be control+shift, or control alt...
The changing of shape, I used the morph tool; I saved the high resolution terminator face as obj, and as its the same number of points as the old face, I loaded it a morph target, soI could sculpt the parts to morph.

[TVeyes]

Had to have a look again. Very cool end result. Thanks again for the workflow explanation and .AVI's :tu:

[cpharles]

Very good this model, I want to see the remain of the modeling of the body of the perssonagem...
:)

[Sebcesoir]

ohh dude! For the body, I think it would be better to modelise it with a classic 3d programm, I personally think tha zb is no the best too to create complex mechanic parts, but I know he can...

[tripolinezbr]

Today, I have seen your video that shows great works you've done.
God loves you.
One thing, morph target is used, I believe. :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Miken72]

You are very talented person Sebcesoir and the way you use Z is by one word -great. Could you tell us how many hours did you spent on entire progress? Are you going to texturize the model?
Video is very nice too. :tu:

Thanks for sharing it!

[Sebcesoir]

Thanks guys!
I couldnt tell you exactly how long it took me for this work, I did it separatly, and a long time ago.
First I did the old guy, based on a previous head mesh (with a lot of triangles).
Then I sculpted the terminator, I think its took me 2 days, maybe 3, I cant remember..
But I this time I hadn't the good knowledges of zbrush I have now, I see all the defaults I didnt see before.
Almost for the mechanics elements on the side of the head, they are definitively too smooth, but I sculpt them the classical way, instead of using geometric primitives... I should have pinched the tooth too... I have a much better rendering of the skeletton girl I did (in my gallery).
You learn by doing mistakes!

[Kassar]

:tu: Thats good!!!! Excellent tutorial man :D

[RobCardIV]

how do you record the video that captures just the change of detail? you couldnt see your mouse or any windows information. I know how you could have croped the video multipul ways.. but how do you record all your work, without showing the mouse or any tools? that sounds like some record function of zbrush maybe.

i dont need every detail, if thats asking alot, just point me in the right direction to what i need to do to learn how to record like that. thats neat.

Hello Sebcesoir!

Just wanted to say that it's just amazing to see your videos!
That's one hell of a great job! I love the way you sculpt...
C'est trop top!!

Keep up the great works Seb...

a+

[abe_Tamazir]

amazing stuff! could you make a quick tut on the morph sculpt you used to paint the terminator onto the old face? i can load the two models but cant manage to draw like you do?...something im doing wrong for sure
:(

[Pdude]

I have downloaded the videos and they are 2 - 7 mb each and when i dbl them windows media gives me a class factor error:( ...

[dangS]

Nice Job. I'd like to know how did you bumped a half of the face model with the model of terminator at final part? I've been trying to find out how to bump models with themselves to get for example two-head monster or something like that. I'm just asking as I'im beginner at zbrush.

[Sebcesoir]

I used the morph tool
