Hello

I was wondering if there were any good tutorial for Maya on how to rig a bird. I'm having problems figuring out how to rig the wings.
I've found a few resources but they only confused me.

Or if there are any rigging gurus out there that can personally help me. I'm willing to pay for help on this project too.

Thank you

Ah thanx. I think the part I'm having the most difficulty with is figuring out how to get it to bend and especially get it to collapse and fold onto the body.

If you look at the wing structure of a bird you will notice that It vaguely resembles that of the human arm and hand. One thing you may want to try is to rig the wing in a simular fashion to the arm. That would be a good place to start.
