rigging tests...

I chose to rig up my old manta and see the difference between shape keying from last term and rigged animation this term...still a bit jerky and I also dropped the frame rate post render to slow it down a bit, but over all I think it's a bit better. The material is kinda screwy but this more more for the motion and not supposed to be a final product.
