Hi all,

I have an issue with the Toucan groom file, found here - https://www.sidefx.com/contentlibrary/toucan-groom/ [www.sidefx.com] .

The attribute wrangle node that is creating the "barborient" from quaternian based on the normals from the incoming proxy mesh doesn't seem to work as well as in the toucan groom file. It seems to orient feathers nicely in some areas, but bad in others where the feathers seem to be oriented side on and I can see into the body, which isn't desireable.

Anyone else face these issues at all?

Anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? I have the same nodes in my file. I am using a different bird model but I can see the attributes are the same as the toucan file as well as the normals facing the correct directions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!
