How to set up 360 degree angles for the body?

Hi there,

I'm designing a character and can see how to do head turning but how do you allow for a side view for walking or a 3/4 view of the character as a whole?

I'm thinking I'd need to create 8x views; front, back, left side, right side and then the in between view for each.

Is there a convention/template for a full setup like that? Or do you have to maintain 8x different characters?

Cheers,

Ben
