I'll have the model wired to ceiling to hang down in front of pure, one tone green screen while filming the whole thing. Move, get shot, repeat a billion times until I have sequence shot. I then run the footage into computer and keep the selected frames (meaning when my dopey self isn't there moving wings, etc into new position). I then run out the whole sequence as a video file, speed up, then remove the green in place with a moving background of choice (likely park at night with actress in it). I add someforeground images (ie branches in front of greenscreen) and add that over my bat/actress footage. Shown quickly enough and edited in properly, it should be pretty damn effective. I tried it out with a still pic of a bat so far, greening out the eyes gradually and replacing them with darkness to look as though it's awakening to sound of actress approaching (where else am I going to get footage like that ? LOL). I'm pretty happy with it so far.
I'll check into the 3D software you've mentioned. Ever hear Buckethead on any of the Bootsy Collins albums ? Great stuff.
