I have now Sped up the wings to give more of a flutter look than a bird wing look. I now need to start adapting the body to follow the movement better and get a nice look to it. https://vimeo.com/243887619

Looks to me that your nose tip and wings are proportionally smaller then the rest of face features : Height - most people conform to 1/3 for a wing height of nose length Depth - it relation 2:1 or 1:1 for part of the nose that stick out the face and part that in on the face
Thanks bearkub, im sure ill be back with questions. ^_^ What i currently have now, Poser 6.0 Blender Gmax Wings 3d I think ill play around in wings to get the basic idea...and then move up the list. ^_^ Thanks for all the help guys.
The3DHair rules all. i believe 3DGuy even took this picture at the chicago con that he and kub and i attended: the king of all the cosmos! i was a good bit taller than he, but it just didn't seem right to pose with the King and making him look small.
Thanks for all the responses so far! @GCMP: Most of the textures do have AO baked in, it might be harder to see due to Maya blurring up the render. However, even then, for example, you can clearly see the shading in the corners of the main staircase where the steps and the barriers meet. Yes, there is a glow effect…
https://polycount.com/discussion/222732/te-lord-of-the-rings-orc-olog-hai/p1?new=1 vOlog-hai are not mentioned by name in The Lord of the Rings; the term appears only in the appendices. They were created by Sauron at the end of the Third Age, possibly for the same reason that Saruman created the Uruk-hai, for improvement…
I like the hooves better in all honesty, though to mee it seems like they are just hinged. If anything, looking at Diggers or JCB's you can see that anything that is hinged has some kind if piston in them to drive it. Maybe consider some tech or possibly even a piston to add some structure and reasoning behind the movement…
@KurtR Thanks!!! I'll try to push it as far as possible in 1month. About the hinge, what I can see from here, it's a double hinge with a fancy shape, what I would do is to make it in a way that it can be folded twice and make it as flat as possible once its completely folded I hope it helps Good luck!!
Or you might want to try out Wings 3D ... or Silo. Wings 3D is a free program, Silo costs $109 but there's a 30-day trial on their site. Do a google search, you should find them easily enough. Download them and look on their various forums for tutorials. Probably more straightforward for modelling than 3dsmax.
@JLHGameArt Well, admitedly actual bat wings don't bend as much as in my animation, but my only advice would be to have your animator look a bit more closely at the bat's wing tips as it's close to reach its apogee, and see how the fingertips bend just then. Cheers.
