How did you make the feathers?

[hrgiger]

I think I saw your feathers on another post. You used FiberFX for that, yes? A tutorial is in order if that's the case. It looks great.

awesome looking bird

[mav3rick]

yes it is feather boy from the other thread... nice nice... i would play with curves a bit to make more contrast that will fit in image better

[Kuzey]

Wonderful work. :thumbsup:

Hey alqadi, any chance of up loading the FiberFX preset so we can play around with it. I followed your tutorial but I couldn't get it to work..silly me ;)

Fantastic work!

[Tobian]

So very sweet! The only thing that breaks the realism is the skin round the eye and the eye, maybe some reflections of the straw in the eye will help?

[Matt]

Awesome, although I would lower the brightness of the chick, stands out just a little too much for me.

But great work! And thanks for the tutorial!

[alqadi]

Thanks guys you honored this thread .
Tobian : thanks for your tips and the reflection is already there .
Matt : thanks for your tip .
some changes are coming with the next update .

[geothefaust]

Hey there are those renders I was looking for! Awesome work!! Very inspiring. I'm glad to see someone tackling FFX in such a way. I hadn't tried my hand yet with feathers, it seemed daunting, but, you showed it is not. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to your update.

[freshdb]

great image, I agree with Matt, color correct the chick a bit and it will be spot on.

[alqadi]

geothefaust freshdb thanks both .

[HowardM]

all over, chick looks flat overall, doesnt comp well into background...

so, cool you can fake feathers, but can you actually use a feather object and FFX to instance it?

[mav3rick]

this is poly based feathers... bad if u plan to animate object with morphs.

[alqadi]

Look guys With respect to all of you I believe that you are here to help.
so how to Improve this work?
mav3rick With respect:
1- layout FFX was used for this.
2-I'm not an animator and I'm not planing to animate this.
3-I hope to try somthing to fix this .

[Wade]

Really very nice! You inspire. :thumbsup:

[alqadi]

thanks for you kind words.
