[zued]

Need some help/feedback doing this parrot..(in beta3 of v11.)

 

How can I get the feathers graduatly be bigger as they run down the body..

Any tips!? ( I thought I could give 11-beta version a production try.)

 

Thanks

Sounds tricky. Maybe using grouped patches? ie frist group has small, next has medium and next big.

There might be. I'm sure "Randy the hair man" will let you know if no one else does.

I like Ken's suggestion! Group different areas.

You'll probably want your top (higher) feathers group to be on top (lower) in the PWS.

 

You might be able to vary the size... seems like I saw that in the info on hair images... maybe not

 

Personally I think you're trying to butter up steve@hash.com by modeling the 'bird'. (Why didn't I think of that before)

Or what might be even easier would be to use a height control map that would start darker at the head and steadily get brighter as you come to the tail. Of course around the stomach area you would want to keep a more general shade. Though you would want a seperate group for around the nose to get more of that fuzz look. But you get the Idea. Hope this helps.
