Cheers, guys. So it appears that with either of these methods we can only get it to work with one feather type?
Am I missing something? As we can't access the attribute that defines the feather type (1-6 within the group) the set instance doesn't look like an option and the polymesh duplicator only allows one instance object too? I seem to remember that momentum has an instance to geometry function but the studio I'm at doesn't have it. Is there another instance to geometry script out there? I can't seen to find one.
