It's impossible to find any good references on wings but this really helped so thanks

Literally what I'm trying to do right now! Why is it so hard? Did you find anything else that was helpful to you?

[@oliverb.3588]

@@maicey_t. Pinterest has some decent references as well if you dig deep enough :)

[@Ozarkeree]

Holy shit this is incredibly educational, I had no idea there were little "thumb" feathers!!

[@Cerealsoupgame]

they're called alula and help with descending from the air! you know how on airplanes they have those little flaps that come up when the plane is landing? that's basically what those do. wings are so cool

Thanks so much for posting this! It's great to have a visual reference for how wings move; they're impossible to draw. D:

[@pauldeddens5349]

This is a great reference, I love the step by step nature of it where layers are added onto each other, incredibly helpful for understanding the anatomy of very visually complex things, like wings

[@Boscovius]

For those of you debating if this animation is "complete", I would submit that the missing motion is the rotation between the humerus and the forearm. This joint has both an extension and rotation function. The rotation function allows the wing to "fold under". All the same, this is a fantastic reference for the carbon fiber feather wings I'm designing.

[@MrFujinko]

nice. how is progress?

[@DanSheerin]

You are correct. These are a couple of videos that demonstrate this non-planar motion that you are refering to. Seagull Wing Anatomy - kzbin.info/www/bejne/injMep-to8aBo68 Wing folding and rolling using a store bought chicken wing - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJrPhZuvqJJ5iKs Great graphics though.

Thank u very much for this because I was making an animation and this helper with with a part were the characters wing were opening this helper me understand the logic of wings

[@handlewithart]

A great reference for bird feather riggers!

[@marcyt7809]

I am making a sculpture of an eagle and this helps tremendously to visualize the wings - thank you so much! 👍

[@syllync.e]

Beatiful display of the wings anatomy. Thanks for sharing

[@Robin_the_owl]

This is Perfect! Exactly the type of Referance i need thank you!

[@reece_.]

as someone who is new to animation this is extremely helpful, thanks!

[@savobursac1148]

Extremely helpful!

[@gerjonzomer1948]

Amazing. Thanks!!

[@vyncentdiangelo]

Nice! Now I know wing logic xDD

[@thehumbleonion5280]

The cats loved this video

[@JoeGator23]

I sped it up for them. They loved it.

[@jimfitzpatrick5150]

Im making full size Crow. Seeing this helps but it's mind boggling. Anyone out there who wants to help me make wings for my full size Crow.?

[@theamazingharshtag8104]

since i was 5 I always wondered....

[@TatraScrambler]

1:06 - that part is horribly wrong, as tertials do not actually attach to the humerus (even though alternatively they are know as humerals, especially in long-winged seabirds), only superficially to the skin, unlike primaries and secondaries. That is why they are not considered true flight feathers (being so loosely attached, they don't have the rigidity required to provide lift). Please correct this as this is very misleading.

[@kaze_cosplays]

Ok I need to know- How many cosplayers are here?

[@XiongLin]

this is actually not correct :(

[@foxiepaws6826]

How if so send me a link to something that will show me the real thing

[@pokaay3163]

Proof? Do you have a better source? We’d like to see it.

[@Luka1180]

Yes, it is.
