Wow!

You've put a lot of effort into that, and it looks really great. I really like the neck, arm and leg movements that go with the flying.

One point of criticism: When flapping their wings, birds (and presumably dragons) don't usually maintain the same height: they go up on each down stroke of the wings, and go down a little on each up stroke...

Obviously a script or plugin would be really handy to coordinate the up-down position track(s) with the wing-beat tracks... but you've done such a great job coordinating the other tracks that one more surely wouldn't be too difficult for you. :-)

Cheers!

I'm sure that up and down movement will be easy with AoI, and without using scripts.

My first dragon was the one to compose the flying style (the swimming style). So each movement was added in a experimental track. I mean, adding around 7 keyframes and looking for a feeling.

But then i had to re-do the scene because the dragon was laking of bones in the legs. And even i had some problems with the eyes that Siri helped to solve. So i just started a new flying cycle and realized that i could solve the whole loop whit just two positions.

The result is pretty good. I also managed to add a sountrack, and to fade sound and video. Anyway the video is raw, but i like it like and introduction to series.

Thanks Siri and all for the positive comments. I really needed that. For this animation and for the pictures too.
