featherSystem

[joel3d]

Could you explain a little bit more in detail?

[jaredr]

I'm interested in this as well. How did you get the planes to collide with each other?

I'm interested in this as well. How did you get the planes to collide with each other? I have converted the Nurbs feather (you have seen into the video) into polygons so to apply maya ncloth to resolve the collision.
you can see a simple test i did in this video (http://vimeo.com/7221901).

Could you explain a little bit more in detail? what do you want to know exactly?

[giordi]

that's awesome!! you did a great job more ditail [please!

[Nayar]

ok... here some details.

the suite includes:




The base script converts an hairSystem into my featherSystem (nurbs surfaces grouped and connected with the base hairSystem and follicles)
A script that convert the nurbs feathers into polygonal feathers so i can apply nCloth.
3 scripts that convert the feathers selection into follicles, startCurves and the first CV of the startCurves.
Lock and unlock curve lenght.
A script to map feathers attributes by textures (not explained in to the video).
Some script to control progressively the feathers orientation, scale and more attribute by custom constraints. Set the rest positions and delete the constraints.
A script that create a shader with randomic feathers textures placement. (not explained in to the video). So i can apply three different (and random) textures on some geometry and control them by a single shading network. Probably i'll make a video next days.
that's all.
I hope you're satisfied.
Bye.


ps. sorry for my english.

Nice tool you have there Giorgio !
i liked it a lot, pretty neat solution for Maya.

A friend of mine wrote something similar while ago, check here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkzJ6ntjE-E).

by the way,
did you see that (http://feathertools.michael-buettner.com/) ??


Would be cool to see your system working in a rigged character,
i must confess i´ve been tired to see proxies 'planes,' 'boxes', 'spheres'.....


seeya,
congratulations again

[Nayar]

oh yeah i know these guys. They have been a source of inspiration for me.
Maybe i'll share a lite version of my script on creativeCrash.

bye.
