OK, here's the deal. I've modeled a simple bird, whose wings et only 1 prim each. I'm trying to find a way to make them flap. What do you think would be the simplest way to do that?

If the wings are boxes or cylinders (well I doubt their cylinders, but...), you can make them flexible by editing the prim and looking under the features and checking flexible path. That will only make them flop if the bird is moved though...

You'll probably want to look into a script to flap the wings, possibly even a follower/pet script in conjunction to this if you wanted your bird to fly and follow you around.

I actually haven't done much with pet scripts, but a quick search turned up this:

Best of luck!
