The wings were built so that they could be spread if needed.

Inez, how deep are you in the anim format?
As for now, I'm thinking the only way to animate it would be by switching models on the fly (heh); but doing it with bones would be much nicer...
 
<!--`QuoteBegin-Fred_Bob`+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Fred_Bob)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->de part Fred Bob be thinkin' of be when de parrot be perched on pirates desk.[/quote]Yes, I agree, Fred Bob. I wonder if that can be hacked. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I don't have the game installed at the moment, to check!
 
Nathan,
I've already decided that this will be the project to give making our own animations a try. However it will take some time to make controls to set the keyframes and to write the code to get the sequence saved in .an format.
Would be helpful if you could keep what's to be different bones in separate meshes.
 
This is looking excellent <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

I don't suppose that it will be possible that we can buy or get a parrot to put on our character's shoulder?
I expect that will need the models edited with a new locator added to them.
 
You ought to give the parrot a character profile so you can assign it a ch. greeting and it will answer when you talk to it.
