aim: to use puppet tool to animate

first I imported an asset. I then went to the pin tool and added pins to the asset. then I moved that pinned part of the asset around  to manipulate the body.

I then went to mesh 1 and deform which enabled me to keyframe the joints. I renamed the pins to show which body part they are.

I recorded a video of myself and animated the robot to follow my movement

when I finished my animation, I put it in media encoder and made it into a video.

I could try and improve the keyframes and make the body parts move at the right times.

 

As an extension task, I also made an animation of bird flying through the sky with the puppet tool
