@hayabusathemanslayer No deformers or anything, just a simple smooth bind and appropriate weight painting. You can see how this ends up looking a little strange in the membrane behind the 'elbow' - it pushes out a little, not how it would in real life. Yes, the bat is all one combined mesh, although the wing membrane does not physically attach to the fingers. I generally rig & animate for games, and test my rigs in the Unity engine. Single mesh and exclusive bone deformation works best for this.
@shotgunfox30 thanks for the quick reply. i'm still learning how to rig so seeing these videos is very inspiring. Also, it seemed believable. And if you add a control that can give the wing an overlapping action this would be sooo AWESOME
niiiice. how were you able to handle the deformation on the wing? Did you just bind the wing with the arm skeleton and is the wing a separate mesh?
