CGTalk - Creating feathers

I must be missing something obvious, I am having a real problem using hair module to create a feather. I am sure that I need a spline to start with and at one point I was able to make something that was starting to resemble a feather. When I tried it again no dice.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It seems that there is little documentation on this.

Cheers, :hmm:

Have you checked the feather object that comes with Hair?
It's possible to creat something like a feather without it, but much easier with it.

Hi Srek,

Yes, the feather object was what I was trying to get to work for me with no success.

Thanks,

might help if you explain the problem in a bit more detail, just been spending a lot of time with the feather object myself and it seems pretty easy to use

Hi Brian,

I have the feather object under control now, thanks!

I find it is also useful for things such as webs, straw etc.

Thanks again everyone for your help.

Cheers, :thumbsup:
