Oleg Memukhin shares his development into creating a Houdini Dynamic Feather system. Building one from scratch for a personal project, Oleg started with a fur based system, but then moved onto a more productive wire dynamic simulation.
[well]Oleg makes the Houdini HIP file available for download for his Houdini Feather System, and calls it the Houdini Owly Feathers Dynamic feather system.[/well]With Owly, you can
- paint attributes such as comb, length, density,texture blending.
- texture each feather, color all of them using skin texture.
- blend multiple feather textures together
- ruffle feathers, mystique effect.
- supports custom imported curves. For example I created some curves in blender and used them to drive feathers.
