Pegasus Wing Rigging Progress
Been working on this for the past few days. I've never really done much of anything with wings before. I've animated with wings once before, and only once, but I never rigged or studied wing anatomy too much. I've been kind of dreading the day I'd have to rig wings for pegasi just due to the complications and challenges that's definitely going to come from that. But considering my lack of experience, it seems to be going off on a decent start. I want the wings to be flexible. I want them to fold and unfold seamlessly without model swapping or excessive shape keys/blend shapes. And I don't want posing for wings to be a pain in the ass, I want it all to just work in the end. Spreading the wings should mostly be automatic, and not having to worry about manually posing each feather (ESPECIALLY IN ANIMATION). https://www.deviantart.com/therealdjthed https://www.patreon.com/djthed https://twitter.com/_DJTHED
