The Bird

For the outside animation I modified a bird that I sourced from:

I opened the file and chose a bird that had spread wings. I then created bones using the bones creator in the systems menu.

I applied fins to the bones to cover the wings and body correctly.

A skin morpher was applied to the bird and added all the bones to it.

I then created another bird with bones and angled the wings downwards. On the first bird I added a morpher and added the second bird to it. I edited the key frames to show the motion of flight.
