Just watched Alt.VFX video. Inspiring work, but what about us peasants that don't have the resources, whatever those might be, to have such a tool included in the package?
I'm sure I'm not the only artist that's eager to make use of high-level tools to materialize ideas without having to go down a deep tool development path, which would be justified only in big studios with a lot of development power.
Any plans for a feathers system development any time soon? Seems like a task right up to Houdini's procedural alley.

You can get the feather system here.

Thanks Werner. I was hoping to play with such a tool without hitting a paywall Alas, I'll consider the options at hand.

Hi pickled, support the interest in feathers.

It is quite a bit of work that goes into a feather system.

Birds are hard.

As such, a paywall for production proven high level tools is kinda of necessitated.

Not to mention, you're paying for support and further development of the tools.

If it helps at all, here's a 10% off code for the tools. Valid for the first 10 people. Indie or FX.

I've no doubt that your tool has commercial value, I was just wondering whether Houdini should have such a system shipped within its package.
I'm not in the position to commercially exploit your product since I want to just experiment with it and as such, I have to consider its cost before pulling the trigger, is all I'm saying.

hi, there I hope to see a build-in system to generate feathers inside Houdini it doesn't make sense to buy a separate paid system if that could be done that would be a plus for sideFx team.
