Testing a dragon wing
I am planning to use soft bodies and gravity to make the wing membrane flop around. Is there a way to keep the wing from falling to the floor when I turn on the gravity? Would I have to build an armature to attatch it to? Is there a better way to animate a dragon wing?

Idea
I have thought about manually adjusting the verts in the membrane in the folded state and adding attributes just to get the project done. (that's a lot of adjusting, though)
