feathers

[gangzoom]

Im in the proccess of trying to model an eagle. Ive done most of the head including the eye; its all looking quite good. But im complety stuck as to how to make releastic looking feathers. The best ive come up with so far is to place rectangular planes on the head, and than use clipmaps/texture maps to make them look like feathers.

Any one with any better ideas?? Im using lightwave 7.5

This tutorial covers making a feather using the full version of Sasquatch, but it should be adaptable to saslite.
