First Steps - Lesson 4 - Keyframe Animation

Just to keep the continuity of the lessons, I was learning Houdini's traditional animation tools. Exploring the Channel Editor, Channel Groups, and understanding the different ease in/out functions.  As well of different object level techniques for curves/paths for animation.

I will hopefully have a show and tell project in Lesson 5.
