Speed Animation 2

Testing out the animation layers feature in Maya 2014. Started out with a basic walk and with the animation layers you just select a group of controls and make your adjustments. It is like photoshop layers. So my basic walk cycle was my base animation. The spine and head layer animation are overplayed which doesn't interfere with the base animation. One cool thing you can do on there layers is create very extreme pose. With that the animation layer has a "weight" option so you can set the degree of the pose like 75% or 10% like opacity. Very fun tool that everyone should try.

Completed time 2.5 hours.
