Many of us like to help, but it’s good to see effort on our part being matched by effort on your part. Questions in the form of “ I need to do X but cannot be bothered to try and learn the software ” will (and should) go unanswered.

Similarly, questions in the form of “ How do I quickly recreate this facade that took a team of skilled professionals four months to figure out? ” have a very low success rate

Defining parametric hinge points would require Kangaroo (physics engine) or coding in rules of all sorts.

Orienting blocks along a curve isn’t a big deal. The script below requires pufferfish and elefront plugins. You can fake your flap movements by creating a series of blocks to be distributed.
