animating help

[rs402931]

hi.

new to lightwave....used a few times for some very basic titling etc.
now trying to figure out how to animate a simple Bird. Just want it to fly across screen - and flap wings ! I bought a - lwo 3d White Dove on Turbo Squid (product ID 306110). learning Modeller down the road lol
said it was animated. Animated loopable flight sequence that can be
modified to do various flight patterns. Rigged for flight.
now in layout i can't figure out how to animate the wings......manual has so many pages not even sure what to look for....bones - rigging - etc????

not even sure what "animated" and "rigged" for flight mean in this case?

any - help - pointers - page numbers would be greatly appreciated.

BTW using LW 9.3
Thanks in advance

The animation might be morphs. I would check and see if it has any. Typically I would animate something like that with bones.
