The Stan Winston Studio team designed and produced makeup appliances for six stages of deterioration, with the final stages achieved through a hybrid blend of traditional makeup and digital technology. For some shots, green makeup & materials were used, allowing digital artists to add the metallic understructure during post-production.
Stan Winston Studio also built a full-sized damaged Terminator stunt puppet for the sequence at the end of the movie in which the T-850 suffers a severe beating by the T-X.

In this video, Jason B Matthews works on one of the battle-damaged Terminator heads at Stan Winston Studio for Jonathan Mostow's Terminator 3.
