Also, the semi-transparent textures to simulate the fabric are very well done. Now I'm thinking about that for the Wright Flyer. His warping effects are very nice, and accomplished with less expensive geometry than the Flyer's wings, affording a couple extra intervals for smoother motion. Still it would be quite nice I think to add the morphing tween controller support to the modeling code. It could even be used to model the flex in conventional aircraft wings, especially airliners.
