inserting poses
Think of poses as keyframes for your armature. You have an initial pose for your
crane in frame 1. You will insert two additional poses for the crane. The next pose
will position the crane down as if it were picking something up from the ocean. The
last pose will position the crane back up to lift up the object.
1 Move the red playhead to frame 50.
2 Using the Selection tool, click on the hook at the end of the cranerope instance
and drag it down to the water.
A new pose is automatically inserted at frame 50. As you drag the cranerope
instance, notice how the entire armature moves along with it. The bones keep
all the different nodes connected.
3 Move the red playhead to frame 100 (the last frame).
