Smartbones and Wings - A Short Test

[APC]

First post in the forums for me. I've been using Anime Studio for about a year now, mostly teaching myself with the vast array of tutorials and webinars.

I created this rig of an American Cockroach for a web series I want to get started in the future. It's a 10-second test of how to get the roach to fly, which animating the wings was a fun approach.

Looks Great!!

I watched it several times, and I have one question. Do the forearms have a bendable joint in the rig. If they did it would give it a bit more dynamism. But really nice work.

Most definitely. I was just worried at the time with seeing how the wings work.

I can do another quick animation to show my updated rig which, more or less, shows an attempt at 360-degree turns.

It looks good, but now I feel all itchy. Where'd all these bugs come from? GET 'EM OFF ME!
