[attachmentid=21971][attachmentid=21970][attachmentid=21969] Aha! Another lurker reveals himself! Great to have you posting here in the forum. Are you working on any projects with A:M these days or are you just having fun? If interested in really honing your skills I definitely recommend getting involved in 'Tin Woodman of Oz'. I know you've been using A:M for awhile but Welcome anyway! Anyway, here's a few details for this image: All models built from scratch. The landscape from Terrain Wizard, the tree from Treeez, the big sculpture in the background rotoscoped off digital photos of front, side, top & back of this incense burner I had since high school back in the hippy days. The skulls are also rotoscoped off medical images from the web. The baby ducks, also rotoscoped in a rough manner each weigh in at 621 patches, 46,014 down hairs and many hours of splining & re-splining (creases & stuff, got the really bad ones out.), surfacing (tweaking the hairs) rigging ( from scratch), posing (got the wings to fold. Has anyone in the A:M community ever fold bird wings? The angles are really sharp, like almost 180 degrees. This doesn't smart-skin particularly well, so I use "fan" bones as well as muscle CP correction as needed in the pose.) Here is my first offering & contribution to the A:M community: I pulled this rig out of my duck, it's got a folding wing pose wingfold.prj bird_rig_0p0.mdl
