Is there a video/tutorial that deals with bird feathers?

#1

I am looking for a video tutorial that deals with the design of bird feathers using Maya. I didn’t see anything in Gnomon. Anyone know where a video on this can be found?

Hi Taxguy - I don’t know of any. It’s a good suggestion - if you find one - could you post it here?

I will post it if I find something. However, so far, I haven’t found anything, which is why I asked here.

I just did a search for “feathers” over at digital tutors. I got quite a few hits so you might check there. I thought I remembered seeing a tutorial there for rigging a wing at one point.

Digital tutors - Creating a Pegasus with Xgen - haven’t watched it, but it is all about creating feathered wings, creating variety etc.
Feathers seems to be an area that tutors shy away from, I haven’t seen many
good luck
