- For readers who are not ornithologists, what is the popular name of this species? - There is no need for the default pose (i.e. with all the xrot yrot zrot = 0deg) to be a natural pose. How often do you see a real human in the default T-shaped Poser pose? - Remember that there is a way to rotate the xrot yrot zrot axes away from their default directions. With my Gerry Anderson UFO series alien model I shifted the helmet's yrot axis forward so that its yrot rotated it properly on its sloping neck seating. - To get the wings to fold right, it may be useful to interpolate an extra short joint segment to represent the carpal bones. See a bird anatomy book, or have a close look inside a chicken wing. - Getting the patagium to behave right may be a swine; it may be necessary to make it a separate segment parented to the chest, and text edit an extra Weld command into the CR2 file to get it to weld properly onto the upper-arm. Similarly the flight feathers.
