I haven't used xgen, but make sure you understand how it saves files.
It doesn't save everything with the maya file, and I've heard of people
loosing work because they didn't realize this.
I'm dreading my first hair/fur job in maya .
I have gotten very comfortable with ice strands, and I don't

We've been using Yeti converting grooms to curves, simulating long hair
with nHair and using those cached curves as guides for our grooms with
success, we even cache yeti, and render directly in softimage with the
arnold procedural.

Can you give us a bit more of an idea what you're aiming for? Animate into
a round blurry shape from what/where?

That's right, feathers were done by Mario Domingos using mbFeather Tools.

Hmmm, will have to look into xgen, but I'm starting to think it's
probably best to stick to Softimage for this as well.
Which is too bad as I am still looking for a way to use Maya as a
perfect companion to Softimage.

Note: If you used xgen, you'd have to also render in Maya because there is
no good way to take that back to xsi

And I'd have to do the little simulation I envisioned in Maya as well.
So how good is nDynamics really when it comes to xgen?
Is that at least an improvement upon Softimage tools?

Great job.
I can only presume you used grids with opacity maps to cut the feathers,did
that kill the render time? Also did you run a test maybe using ice strand
generated feathers, and would that maybe cut down on the render time
compared to opacity maps?

Yes we used a pass of MBFeather Tools comped together with Soft Hair. I'v
tried strands but I find them harder to groom, I think the Hair tools are
really powerful. I could have used the hair guides and then generate trands
but i had several problems with it mostly brain malfunction... Bzzrt
Some new interesting tests:

What im interested in is, is it possible to instance ice feathers to the mb

And how much would that impact render times... Because im pretty sure
opacity maps suck for these kind of scenes.

I seem to have it working. See the screenshot for what I did.
Here's what happens in the shot: I generated a bunch of points on a polygon
and used a texture map to filter them. It's basically a satellite view of
our state with the nighttime lights. The points of light then need to
coagulate in
Yes we made a test with that approach but using hair instead of strands. I
created a small grid from where I emitted some hair with a feather shape
then instantiated it on to the MBFeather system and it worked great. The
only prob is that we have a texture on the head that we transfer to the
hair
Cool, sounds interesting. Im not sure weather you could transfer the color
attribute back to the instance master geo. Maybe someone else knows a
little more about that.

I know some bits, I don't have the experience to compare nDynamic vs
what's in Softimage, however since I worked on XGen, I can briefly
clarify how it relates to that.
XGen is something to do render-time instancing of things, and one of
the ways to do hair with it is to drive primitives using

The main problem I had with Soft's hair was that sometimes the guides
would pop, change shape without any apparent reason. So I had to be
really careful and keep several copies of it.
Yes, I had that too last year. It appeared to me that it would happen more
often when undoing a hair
