I wonder what the performance hist will be. I assume that it will
go linearly with the number of vertecies.
I only had two spheres side by side in the scenery (next to the bo105
in KMRY), with 92 vertices each. They were constantly morphing into

Ahh, that would be a shame. I'm very much looking forward to see this in

Tween method (for the curious ones):
That's how you would current set up such an animation. First you
organize your objects in the 3D modeler like so:
|___wing
|normal
| |main
| |aileron
| |...
|
|bent

Maybe the normals of the faces don't get interpolated as well? (Just a
stab in the dark)

At least that's how it currently (sort-of :-) works. In theory,
aileron/flap/... movements should still work. But I haven't tested
that yet.
Good point, I'm afraid they don't work properly anymore since the center
point and the normal axis' probably have changed after

Yes, possibly. I just hoped

I just hoped that the transformation would somehow
be morphed, too. Steve is using tweening for his exposer, and I
would be a bit surprised if he hadn't thought of that.
Hmm ... no. I take that back. Will hardly be considered by
plib. Then

Especially if there are a lot of other objects attached to it. The B-29
has over a hundred objects attached to the wings. Each of those would
have to be animated with the wings, and that would mean duplicates of
all of them using the tween method.

Just an idea, but would it help to define a specialised bending
animation instead of the general purpose morph?
Why instead?
Adding a bend animation would probably not be that hard for someone
proficient with vector calculation. Which I am

Good news for you: you don't have to do *anything*! (Was the bitching
on IRC not enough?)
Umm ... sorry

Would it be possible to change the visual appearance of wing flex during
flight?
As Curt and Joacim have mentioned already, there are ways to do it:

There might well be other applications for this animation: I'm thinking
of pilot animation in particular.
