Animation: Weightlifter- key poses

In this weeks lesson we had to pose the character in the key poses needed to animate him weightlifting. This consisted of 3 extreme poses with 2 in-between poses. We set Mayas spline tangent preferences to stepped in order to animate the character as if we were doing it in 2D.
