How to add z axis to Puppet pin Position?

[ftw_8848]

i want animate those wing to flapping. i have an idea to use puppet pin and parent to the null and it will be working in 3d preview. but it won't work i assume because the puppet pin position doesn't have the z axis to follow the 3d null. is there any tips to add the z axis? or is there any ways to animate those wings? thankss

Hey Nishu, thanks for sharing those tutorial. but i want to have an arc or bend in the wing before it fully extend down or up. like these image below

and thats why i need the pin tool to bending the wings while the null is rotating up and down. is the pin tool can't work in 3d environment?

Thanks,

No, Puppet Pin is not designed to work in 3D environment. You may need to use a 3D application to create such a detailed animation or do it frame by frame (hand animation). 

Hope it helps. 
Thanks,

Something like this can be done with the Advanced3D feature and curved footage layers. This tutorial may help:
