Figure 7.24 - Arm positioning
You can apply rotation keyframes to the spheres and make an animation
with the arm. In those animations, you easily go back to the rest position
(Initial position) by clearing all rotations—Press ALT+R to reset a
rotation with a sphere selected.
Use the ALT key with any transformation shortcut to return the object
property to their original value. The same option is also available from
the Object → Clear menu.
