Crafting Feathers for the Bird Kingdom in Hoppers
SessionFeathers, Scales and Curls
DescriptionWe present the feather system for Disney/Pixar's "Hoppers," covering multiple bird species. We detail customizing Houdini's hair grooming pipeline, integrating groomed feathers into Presto character rigs, developing a flexible shading framework supporting patterns and two-sided coloration, and creating procedural and simulated flutter effects for natural animation and wind response.
