This month for the class CAN2, I was needed to create a lip-sync of a character and a complete backstory for him ass well, with much susses if i say so myself. The man named Damion Cruz is the creation I decided fit the situation. To begin with, I had to make a storyboard and pre pro on how I wanted the general things to play out. Following that I made a quick scene and placed the shot camera to an standby location. For the first part I made all the key poses on the right word's, then followed by doing the in-betweens while all on stepped. moving on to auto-tangent and speeding up or slowing down the paces where necessary to complete the movement. Then I would do the facial movement in the correct places to make it seem believable that the character would be talking. With lots of critiques in between this has come to be pretty impressive.

STE
Mustang Shelby gt500

One of the most memorable things I have done in STE was create a car in the program soft image. The process ant time making this was unbelievably long and difficult. Having no experience modeling cars, I proceeded to start with the method of box molding, slowly adding edge loops and placing the vert's in place. When the base was done, I started grabbing faces and extruding them to show small differences in places as the headlights and windsheild.

Proceeding to the wheels, I made a cylinder and added and moved vert's into places, then beveling the harder edges. The Tire was made by a flat plane, excluding a face up, then coping the object in the X axis, then rapidity copying it in the Y axis. Then using a bend deformer, I turned the plane into a wheel.
