I am set to install bones in the pterodactyloid creature seen above...but does Carrara have any provision for repetitive motion? I'd like to be able to animate one full wing flap cycle and forget about it. I found the 'Spin Modifier' which should take care of wheels and propellars.

Assuming there is no easy way provided, can I animate the wing in several positions on the time line, and duplicate those keyframes as often as needed?

You need to create the key frames for you animation in a full loop, select all the key frames and then click on "repeat..." and enter the number of interactions and the delay before repeat. Good luck ;-)

Thanks, claudiomil, it worked great.
