Modify body part

birbongbentli

Hi, im really new in Daz Studio and i'm trying to replicate an classic movie scenes and the one im doing now is Terminator 2, i wonder if there's anyway to modify body part to achieve the T-1000 liquid metal arms blade,the shooted effect,and the head splitting scene? because that's the only thing i cannot do :(

p.s. i tried using dformer but it doesnt give the exact look to replicate the blade

thank you :)

here's the example :

You can't really split contunuous surfaces purely in Daz Studio, especially not if you want to have the split areas capped. Without capping you could hide a row of polygons and then use a couple of weight-mapped dForms to move the areas to wither side of the split. You could use a geoGraft to both split and cap, but it would at least be fiddly and might still be impractical if you wanted to animate from solid to split.

I'm not sure what the other effects are (sorry, utter philistine who hasn't watched any of the Terminator movies).

Geographs would work for the arms, though you'd need an outside modeller to make them. You could also make a geograft for the head, but I don't know how well the rigging would carry over--probably not at all.
