WIP - Runt Rig Wing Physique

Runt, the Baby Wyvern character I created for my short 3D Final Degree Film that was in production in 2008.

This is Runt in his semi-advanced 3D state. He's fully modelled and rigged (the grey "bones" inside the model as well as the blue "Controller" shapes that allow me to move the body around).

At the time I took the screenshot, I was working with the wing membrane. The skin is just a flat, wing-shaped plane that I put in place near the wing bones, then laid a "Physique" modifier to the plane that attached it to the bones and applied physics to allow the plane to stretch and fold like skin.

There's a lot that goes into making a 3D model move, especially with a character such as a Wyvern. There were many things I had to learn about in order to get the rig correctly working so he'd move smoothly.
