Yes but it’s also really fun ☺️ Right now I’m fighting orientations after they have been surface or point deformed, to fit to anim 😅 Also tried GuideDeform but something broke there, have to investigate that further

Hello feather friends!
I found it very hard to find a simple technical setup for feathers, that just shows a simple case of a feather setup with deformation, which also works in Solaris. So I decided to make one and share it with you 😊
I hope it will help!

(tagging @dannylaursen @magnusim @janhebein cause you were interested in it 😊)

Stiffness and mass use a basic edge transport distance I include the joint deform trick @jim.meston taught me, to bonecapture on itself @sebkaine @ftaswin The resample at the beginning is a bit messy polypath conundrum

Can easily replicate a single source emitter.

“`cpp int trigger = int(rint(rand(@piece_id)*215));
if(@Frame<trigger){ @P = v@P_orig; @P.x = (noise(@Time*.4)-0.5)*8; // or just tracking an object pos v@v = {0, 1, 0}; }
if(@Frame>trigger){ @pscale += 15; @pscale = clamp(@pscale, 1, 100); } “`
