I just tested it in nifskope. I love it :3 We finally will have wings in birds without the horrible distortions ingame. Nice job Hendrix!

The wings and tail move very neatly. Another milestone in ZT2 history is set by DM, again :D
Partially stretched wings is not a problem for small birds, really - many of them keep their wings in this position when excited.
Front toes got their joints, and can fold & grasp - that's awesome! But what's about a back one? It's no less important for birds.

Btw, after looking under the bird's tail I thought it to be a jet jay :)

the back toe automatically moves down as the leg moves up ;) I'll fix the hole in the tail, too...

A few weeks ago, nobody expected this was possible.
Great work!

Just a question: were the flamingo nodes edited in any way ever?
Before reinstalling ZT, I observed Aves Shoebill and RR flamingo with smoothly folded wings... with RR AA & WC packs present... how was it possible?!

No they were never edited :p

But I clearly remember, and even was surprized, that Shoebill hadn't such sharp wrists that time, but wings rather positioned as Demoiselle crane ones, while hanging low... or it was just a lucky glitch.
I regret about the lack of screens. Just like when you see a cryptid, and forget to take pics.

Would it be too soon to start turning this mesh into a wide variety of birds already? xD

I was expecting this ;p Technically it can already be edited and should even be usable later on as it is. (But perhaps it would need new parenting to the nodes if I have to make some edits while animating.) So yeah you can go ahead xD

Will there be a mating animation, the first one ever? :)
Rubbing the beak after eating or scratching it with foot can be seen in birds quite often too.

Just model and skin can be done for now, as the anims don't yet exist there's also no coding. ;)
