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.

Awesome work, only thing that I noticed is that your arnold has eyebrows, in the movie he loses both and they stay that way the entire movie

the most impressive part of this scene is how he manages to slip out of the window holding all the crap

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 original eye looks more realistic then the bright white eye. Throw a lil shade and couple more wrinkles then your spot on

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.

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.

Original is still better

Man only if there were more Vfx Artists like you... Great Job 👍

Amazing but add a light reflecting in the human eye, otherwise it looks like a puppet or cgi, I would try a deep fake on this

I like your attempt at remastering this scene. It actually looks like Arnold here instead of a random guy.

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. 🫡

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.

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.

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!

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.

That does look great but tbh, i prefer the original. It just looks creepier and adds to the horror aspect of this movie.

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.

original version still looks way more intimidating and bad-ass..

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.

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 just love the moment he checks his hair. Great job!

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.

I would like to see the red light in the glass very good job by the way 👌

The animatronic actually looks like Arnold this time.

That is awesome. Great job

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.

Bro this is really impressive! What you’ve done is brilliant! Can’t believe it! Your really talented at this! Great job!

That's great. I had no idea you used CGI. I thought you were doing a fabricated replacement.

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*

I really like this scene: Terminator is an infiltrator. It wants to look a bit normal.

Nailed the lighting. That was pretty cool.

this genuinely looks very good, You should’ve made the eyes move more and the head less janky like it’s a puppet.

Nicely done, it can certainly be refined a bit since I noticed the eyelids are practically gone in your CGI revision.

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.

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 👍

In the original, I got fooled that this was a puppet. Thanks to you, I got fooled even more thanks to your crazy CGI animation.

Your alterations to the original puppet make it look WAAY better without overwriting the fact that it is a practical puppet. You should be proud!!

I think this demonstrates that there's really no substitute for having Arnold cut his own eye out.

Mais attends t'es super mega chaud ! JE suis sur blender depuis 6 ans et c'est rare de trouver des gens comme toi..Vraiment chapeau

Fantastic work!! Please now do the entire Film! 👍

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.

Gros soutien de ma part pour ta chaîne j'adore absolument tout ce que tu fais continue comme ça

Nice work! Most of it does look better than the original. 👍

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.

I think your eye is a bit too small. Incredible modelling, lighting and tracking though. All in Blender?

Not too bad.I'm actually surprised nobody has done this sooner.

I love the new a lot because it does look slightly more like arnold but my only problem with the new is that the original looks a bit scarier.

I love this movie to death, but I wonder why he even did this since he just covered it up with sunglasses anyway 😂

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 !!!

Absolutely a positive upgrade!

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

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.

Looks much better my bro.

Definitely an improvement! You did a good job!

You should try to do the same with Dick Jones's death in the first Robocop.

You tried? You damn well succeeded

Does a great job capturing the uncanny valley of what it should be awhile improving on it. Awesome work.

this was sooooo goood amazing work almost similar

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

If the eye wasn’t so stiff a animated I would’ve believed it was real

Man Love your work, not perfect but its a really good job

You know what? That’s not bad. 🤔 CGI just takes a lot of work and time this is pretty good keep it up man. 👌😉

Seeing them side by side it does look better. Nice work.

GG🔥

Pas mal,beau travail 😀

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.

...THANKS, "THAT MAKES THE MOVIE A WHOLE LOT BETTER"...

After seeing this, it gives me hope that the mask in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers can be fixed. 😅

Another great job!!!

Tbh, that is good work. Been wondering if anyone would take on this task, and I am not disappointed.

Really good work even more convincing that its not a puppet.

Nous avons partagé sur notre page Facebook et ça a du succès. Bravo à vous

good work. We need a remastered version of this movie. Same Cut, just new and blended FX

Looks like this one could've been fixed with a simple deep fake video of a younger Arnold.

A good effort for sure, you definitely have a nack for SFX. Keep it up, and you'll be King of CGI.

May i make a suggestion? When humans wipe things away or out of their eyes their other one naturally closes and or at least blinks. Neither the original effect or this version do that. Bottom line this is leaps and bounds an improvement over the original but a tweak here and there could really sell the seamlessness of the effect. Great work. Love it! Lightstorm or ILM should hire you!

Excellent job!

You did a great job man, practical effects are just awesome, bur I'm all for supporting them with CGI Until CGI is truly photo realistic, the uncanny valley will remain inferior though.

Je crois que parce que aujourd’hui on est habitué à "spotter" du faux CGI, il est difficile de dire que c’est meilleur ainsi. Par contre, à l’époque où plus de spectateurs étaient habitués à spotter les mannequins, ça aurait vraiment paru comme une amélioration. Ça reste vraiment difficile de recréer un visage photoréaliste en 3D

it definitely looks better imho, however it still has a plasticky nature to it to me. like it’s still rigid af and all but the way it reflects in the light as opposed to the real arnold is what gets me

I never noticed the tear that comes out of Arnolds right eye while he removes the flesh from his left eye.

damn dude! this also looks really creepy like the original. doesn't look cheap at all.

holy shit this is amazing!

A very good attempt mate. Well done 👏🏼. Maybe in the future when you’ve gotten better with your skills you could maybe give it another go? Fantastic effort again. 😺👏🏼

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.

Awesome work. This could be the first CGI Arnold Schwarzenegger

looks really good. the head movement is the only thing that makes it seem unrealistic.

Given the budget of this movie, I dont understand what everyone is complaining about. This is the greatest low budget sci-fi ever made. I think Stan Winston's work is phenomenal considering

The Original looks more real, this one the normal eye looks strange, diminute and dark.

Great work ❤

crazy ! the animation looks like 80s animatronic , cg but it looks and feels like a puppet .

Would love to see the awful composite effects in alien 3 get fixed

I know it's nitpicking but it kinda makes the qoute from terminator 2, "I know now why you cry. But it is something I can never do." redundant. 0:37

I still think both are honestly impressive. I'd love to learn how to do that.

Looks like a better practical effect, which is a compliment.

Excellent.

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 👍

Another problem is the motion itself, it’s a animatronic so you really can’t do much about that.
