FanProjects
Main info
Theres this thing called 'Expanded Universe'. Normally referenced by due to new characters or machines developed in games or described in books and comics. But it can also be assigned to fans and their own initiatives. Ideas that broaden their own (and other fans) views on the entire Terminator saga; their own modded or new games, kitbashed toys evolving to new collectibles or anything else that defines a entire new world around the Terminator.
This section is dedicated to those fans that started their own additions to the ever expanding saga. Helping them evolve and promote their own ideas, with added stories, info, images, videos or whatever else they'd like to share. Its the fans that are the driving force behind the Terminator success... and we at TerminatorFiles.com are here to help them promote it in their own little section on the web.
We even have some ideas ourselfs that would be cool to start by any interested party/fan. So, without further adue... check out the different FanProjects and be amazed by the broad and creative minds that entail the ever growing active fanbase!

3D modelling
Special projects by fans engaged in 3D modelling. There are more models available, as within the Movies section lower in this list... but those also contain movies as a basis of their projects. This section is solely devoted to great modelling projects, and not just copying someone's model and making it your own. No. These are created from scratch.

Gaming
Playing custom made games, that expand on the Terminator universe. We know of some games that use dice to fight eachother on a board, other fans build their own computer games, but were forced to depart that project since its content was used in a game by Atari (sorry, we can't talk more about that)... or others build entire new universes based on other games used in the world of gaming. Check out some of the fangames below.

Terminator: Genesis (June 26, 2008) Ever since I saw the first 'Terminator' I've wanted to do one of my own, and seeing the other two fueled that desire aswell. I can't say much about the story because right now there's not much. But I can say, to me, it's kind of a 'remake' so to speak, a remix if you will. Check out the progress on this ongoing project! > Check full FanProject |

The Dock (November 14, 2006) Marek Paterczyk's movies about characters and vehicles of the Terminator saga. The HK Aerial leaving its underground docking station is a very cool animation. Thanks to its somewhat closed environment and much simpler models to animate gave Marek a reason to think that he was going to accomplish this in time. This simple movie, with all its details, still took him 5 months to complete ;). > Check full FanProject |
