Contents

• The feather tool in sbsar form plus various utilities
• 12 example feathers (sbs)
• Example tiling graph and feather cover graph (sbs)
• A User Manual and a Reference Manual
• A 4-part, 2h+ video tutorial

Main Features

• Generation of procedural PBR (Physical Based Rendering) feather textures of variable shape, density, color and
• many other configurable aspects.
• Extensive shaping controls at the feather, barb and shaft levels.
• Curve support enabling to vary parameter values along the length of the feather or the barb (up to 19 parameters per vane may be driven by curves).
• Simulation of the afterfeather section (thin hair/barbula at the bottom of the feather) with curve-driven break-up within barb components.
• Handling of break-up sections inside the vane’s barb using curves.
• Outputs the following PBR maps: Mask, Alpha, Depth (Height), Color, Flow (Direction), Normal, Roughness, Ambient Occlusion up to 8K in resolution.
• Outputs Grayscale and Color Art maps suitable for 2D/illustration purpose, each of them supporting multiple display modes.
• Per-vane properties so each vane may have a different shape/color etc. Some properties are also common to both vanes.
• The overall 2D curvature of the feather can be designed in the 2D view using control points.
• Multiple colorization modes, including per barb component and vane overlays.
• Configurable shaft thickness, height and coloring.
• Vane and feather 3D aspect configurable with depth profiles.
• Tiling tools to assemble feathers into single large textures.
• 2D and 3D renders inside Substance Designer.
