At 0:44, you can really see Arnold's tolerance to pain as he rips his actual eye out and sheds only a single tear. Incredible dedication and commitment to his performance.
@Mr. Blueberry you didn't notice that. All but that one scene his left eye is the one that he rips the eyeball out . But when he puts the glasses on, his right eye is the one that the eye has been removed in that scene.
@@peterlenham6904 oh. I thought it was a 2nd point of view of the terminator. Didnt know it was a first person point of view from the terminator itself looking in the mirror.
In the words of Arnold: *"Ignore the naysayers."* I know dealing with cgi isn't easy, it's a process. I wish some people would be more understanding of that. You did a pretty damn good job, man. Keep creating.👍👍
It is a great job, but I think the "artificial" problem is in how the animatronic moves, not in how it looks, if it could recreate something separate from the original movement, perhaps it would be better, only in some scenes, for example when it has the towel in his hand and he removes it from his face, and then when he looks in the mirror, those scenes look "false" due to the forced movement of the animatronic, I think he could use deepfake on his face, and he would achieve a more natural arnold effect young.
The movement can be upgraded but I would still like it to be a bit robotic like in this vid, it gives it that creepy feel that something is not quite right,animatronics are really something cool but too bad they don't use anymore or rarely due as it's expensive and Cgi replaced it.
Do I think it looks better? Piss yeah I do. Does it look perfect? No but Hollywood studios nowadays have done waaaaay worse after dumping millions of dollars into CGI. And you'll only get better with time.
@@Storyx1 hail yeeuh! I know eyes are the hardest thing to get out of the uncanny valley but this came closer than the orginal I'd say. Keep up the good work!
This just proves that they want to things as seemless and convincing as possible,the original scene had a dead give away that it was a practical effect.This makes it feel more natural in the movie.The effects during the early 80s was state of the art at the time.which means it wasn't perfect,but it couldn't be helped
Well to be fair.. they really nailed to impressive results in the last movie with younger Sarah and John. They were absolutely perfectly believable human CGIs. In the previous movie he also did a pretty convinced young Arnold as well.
Really good effort! As others have said - The eye is the key flaw in an otherwise well done remaster. The eye size could be a tiny bit bigger, but I think the main issue is actually the material. It is far too white and you could have relied more on the shadows of the scene to mask it further. Similarly to the overly chrome terminator in the computer chip factory scene - I think your main area of improvement is the materials area. Reduce reflectivity and rely more on ambient diffuse lighting to help fit it into the scene.
@@sunnyd1254 that wasn't what I was referring to. I know full well that the Terminator's eyebrows were burned off. The face of the animatronic looked nothing like Arnie, and the blender model actually looks like Arnie, and if the model didn't have the eyebrows, then it would be better, but aside from that, this is a very good attempt to edit the scene. Maybe don't assume what I'm referring to next time.
Creepy!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Did you know? The terminator looks much more sinister in your new version because the tissue of his skin and his eye look "inert" as if looking towards nothing when he wipes himself with the towel, giving a sensation that under that living skin there is something not human and even demonic. Exactly one of the factors that terrified me as a child about this movie is that the terminator was basically like the corpse of a person with a killer robot hidden inside, and your work enhanced this very terrifying ingredient. I loved.
I know how painstaking this must’ve been - I’m honestly blown away by how much I didn’t realise you had done on first viewing. Thecompositing & match moving is top notch. As other people have said, you were hampered by how the animatronic moved & the skin texture of the original model - & the uncanny valley being such a spectacularly high & unattainable bar, this was always gonna be a heartbreakingly tough assignment - even for ILM or Weta. And given that these days it would be a thousand times easier for Arnie to wear a few dots in his actual face & paint the digital eye in than the way around you have had to fix it, I think you’ve done a stellar job. Naysayers in the comments honestly have NO clue how impossibly hard this was to even attempt. Amazing effort dude. 🫡
This is actually really impressive, and it does look greatly improved over the original. My only suggestion would be that the eye looks a little too... "vibrant," I guess would be the word. It's a little too clean and bright. It might be something as simple as just tracking a translucent dark mask over it so it doesn't "pop" as much. But other than that, it's excellent work!
Wonderful. I’ve always been a great defender of the brilliant practical effects work in this film. But your work here builds on what they did and takes it to another level. Very impressive stuff.
I have to say I prefer the original. But I appreciate the passion and intent. For me, the original appears sharper and more natural, despite bieng a puppet. But keep up the awesome work.
If the first Terminator were filmed today, the filmakers would've filmed Arnold's real head, and a CGI of the electronic eye would have been superimposed on it.
Great job. Excellent. It's eerie how just little bit more life-like it is. The mixing of SFX and animatronics. Giving it a new life and looking more like Arnold. Although in the original, I have to say that. How 'fake' or unnatural the animatronic looked when he's removing his eyeball actually speaks so loudly to the audience that it's like more disturbing. All I know is as a kid that scene weirded me out because it was so unnatural and unusual looking that even though I told myself "it's a doll, it's fake" in my mind it was like "it looks that way because the robot inside him is unreal and not human.
Great try. I think a “partial” deep fake of Arnie himself on top of the great work you’ve done might help. Obviously the jerky model head movements will still remain.
I was just thinking the same thing. In his other video where the exoskeleton is chasing Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese into the warehouse, his computer program looked amazing. A definite upgrade than the original chase scene. But this scene... I was thinking a deep fake, to give it the most realistic version of this scene.
This is a damn good effort Ngl, better than all the other remastered attempts I’ve seen. Not faultless sure, the shadows in the original are better, but it looks far more like Arnie than the original animatronic.
great job, amazing take on a classic scene, theres something very clean about your head though, i am used to that fake rubber head, i think it adds to the idea that as his organic body is taking damage it is rotting away on him exposing more and more his non human essence.
Another technique is taken Arnie's younger natural face from a very similar clip or scene and have it rotoscopped and rigged by super compositing it onto 3 dimensional high polygon template with motion tracking using necessary layering and colour correction to achieve a more dynamic and natural feel! Whenever it comes to vfx remastering this challenge is not for the faint hearted! 👍 Recommended softwares: Zbrush*, Maya*, BM Fusion & Resolve* or Ae cc 2020 & Premier*
The fact that you even tried, and it came out this good is awesome in of itself. My only criticism (if there is one) is maybe adding subtle mouth movement to match Arnold's during the cutting of the eye ball. Nice job.
I am surprised James Cameron never remastered that scene. I have alway had a love hate relationship with that scene, I always found it awesome then hated the movements of the head that made it so obvious. Awesome job though
you know for me it's not just the close up of the puppet that is what ages the effect but the unnatural movement. If you were able to give it more natural movement I would really enjoy the update of the effect. The specular highlights are better for the puppet but you got more accuracy of the face in your version. But I understand that you were limited and not just trying to recreate the entire shot and this is why the movements needed to match the original. It's a fine line between redoing and creating an homage to the original. Great work.
Your parenthetical title is cracking me up, cause it’s so legit and I L😂ve you for it. It’s far from bad fellow. It’s a real good renovation detail. Good job 👍
@@Storyx1 , it must be because of my recent joining in a Terminator 2 fan group and checking out the RIFE motion smoothening examples of The Terminator.
I don't wanna sound bad, as I am sure you've done alot of work to be able to somewhat fix that original scene. However, the end result wasn't exactly to my taste. He looks even more washed out and plasticy this way if you ask me. Again, perhaps there wasn't much else you could do, but I just don't feel like dishonesty would be fair here. I've seen your other works and they are all fantastic. Especially the T800 Blender Recreation scene. But this, sadly I can't say the same. Somehow it seems even more washed up than the original puppet they used and please don't take this the wrong way. You're an excellent animator and I applaud you for this. I hope you improve even more and more over time so this scene can be made to look even better in future recreations. Good luck and god speed
Yeah , i am not happy with this one , that was my first time trying to create human face (skin, eyes...) but I keep this video here to see my progress for the next time ;)
@@Storyx1 I am very happy to hear that you're wishing to improve on it as well. Thank you for understanding my criticism and I hope you only improve from here on out. Human facials can be difficult to recreate as I have had experience with modeling some myself so I fully understand you. Good luck with future projects
Good effort, but keep trying. The model could use some work, and I'd do head tracking to animate the head motion to be as smooth as Arnold's in the side shots. As an easier project, Id suggest redoing the Nostromo explosion at the end of Alien. It's the only part of that film that looks dated, and there are a lot of tools out there to do cool sci fi explosions.
Cool , maybe you could add skin texture in his face and hands and you could add red glow on his skin for realism in the areas his skin was damaged and maybe highlight it with pulsing veins like the arteries are in pain and maybe bruise's, that's how I think it could look better, I don't know much about it , good luck.
I love how, design wise, it looks more like Arnold. However, it doesn't seem to feel like the redesign is actually in the film. Like, I dunno, it feels off. It's hard to explain, comparing from the OG where, despite the cruddy practical effects, it actually looks real. Other than that nitpick of mine, well done. I love what you've done with the chase scene towards the end of the film.
Personally I think its a good attempt. The problem is the Animatronic head they were using still looked fake in its movements, they're jerky, and for a movie made in 1984 on a extremely tight budget, its fine. To redo this scene properly would probably involve either a total CG replacement of Arnold combined with some clever deepfaking to get the scene perfect.
Great job! I think another problem that makes it blatantly obvious and blatant it’s a puppet head is the cut of Arnold after words. I think they should’ve cut to a towel or another type of shot before going back to the real Arnold.
Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones, ahora tengo ganas de recortar esas escenas e intercambiarlas con las películas que tengo. Solo un detalle, hasta esa escenas el Terminator ya no tiene cejas, se las quemó en la salida de TechNoir.
1:04 Mistake Scene Arnold burned his eyebrows in an early fight in the movie, but now the scene has eyebrows. It's just a little bit like Arnold and the eyes are paintings. I'm so sorry. The metal endo skeleton scene at the Skynet factory was perfect.
I’d have simply left his working eye the way it was and just smoothed out the stop motion. It’s an amazing effort though. No critical criticism intended great work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's good, but I think it can be better. There are some tweaks to make it better even as far as using the in movie's close up images of Arnold and the way the shadows are made on the scene. His regular eye looked too small, and sunk in. But still, nice attempt in comparison with many other effects nowadays.
the problem with 3D/cg eyes is that artist can never seem to crack to code of giving eyes "life" so his "good" eye ended up looking more "dead" than the animatronic one
I've always liked this scene, everyone's bug bear but not mine, at this moment in time he is exposed for what he is ..an imitation. Excellent work though 👍
Only thing I can think of is the damaged eyeball might be blocking the red eye camera part from seeing now so he bad to cut out the eyeball and Clean off the blood so he could see better then the glasses disguise him. Thats story theory, reality was they wanted to put this awesome scene in the movie to show the effects and bless them for that
The two main problems with the original scene are the artificial eye and unnatural character movements. After the remaster, the problems remained. But still, cool work! If you improve it further, you can add it to the film, make a pascal and suppress noise, and release it for rent!
Quelle coïncidence !!! Nous cherchons un moyen de faire du deepfake avec Blender. Nous rêvons que vous fassiez des tutoriels, ça serait génial !!! Pour la scène du terminator, il serait intéressant de jouer aussi sur la saccade de la tête en animatronic. A voir si c'est faisable. Encore Bravo !!!
Avec blender on ne peut pas faire de deep learning à ce que je sais , tout ce que jai fait cest de la modélisation 3d, mais mon pc n'est pas assez puissant pour le deep learning avec d'autres logiciels
@@Storyx1 Merci pour votre réponse. Nous allons tester du deepfake sur un site web (www.machine.tube/) ; nous vous tiendrons au courant de ce que ça donne, mais si ça ne marche pas, nous essayerons la modélisation (nous avons John Connor, Kyle Reese, le lieutenant Fuentes à mettre dans notre film)
