nice model, with animating the model, you need to use bones, these are like a skeletal figure of your model, for a basic animation for your butterfly i wouldnt say u needed more than 3 main bones 1 for each wing so they can flap and one for the body, then all you do is set the frame rate to war 3 and start your animation, that is a rough breif of what could be done, u need to understand editing the envelopes and selecting the vert groups to each bones i sugguest reading juls tutorial on how to do this best tuts for this would be nicoli_s - tutorial: in the tutorial section Juls-tutorial: i think u can get the address from the dex channel in irc hope this helps a bit, and good luck with the model :D |
