How to animate a butterfly

“How to animate a butterfly ” by Magic Wand
Hi friends,
Today we are getting into animation. Actually if you have a little idea about coordinating different utilities available in 3ds Max, animation is very much easy.
We are going to animate a cute butterfly using wire parameters available in 3ds Max, but first we will model the Butterfly, its very easy let me show you how…
1. Create a plane for the butterfly wing and adjust the Pivot point of the plane from Hierarchy> Affect pivot only like I shown below

2. We will apply the texture using opacity mapping. I think you will be knowing that
3. Mirror your Butterfly wing from Tools>Mirror and create a body for your Butterfly thing using Lathe or any other idea u like (I used lathing)

4. Now comes the animation part, Enable the Auto key, change time slider to 10 frame and rotate the left wing slightly downwards
