And obviously the last point would be than it's all open and we can do pretty
much whatever we want with it now.
I figured, thanks for the explanation Vince. I love the Johnny Walker ad btw,
it's one of the best moments in the Mills 2012 demo reel too.

Hi Vince,
welcome aboard!
With all the recent talk about custom feather systems being developed and
employed at Psyop and The Mill, I was wondering if you looked at mbFeathers
(http://feathertools.michael-buettner.com/)
before deciding to build your own system, and why you ended up investing the
time and taking your own rout. I assume you were looking for specific features
you could not find in,
or build upon, mbFeathers? Simply out of curiosity, I'd love to understand what
it was you couldn't find elsewhere that justified building a feather system
from scratch.
Cheers,
Stefan
Thank you very much Bradley.
Yes it's a full on ICE feather system.
I started to layer all the main compound from scratch at the beginning of
Hallmark, then Dave Barosin joined a month later and help me out with few very
helpful features and scripts.
Version 1.0 of this feather system at the end of Hallmark was really nice, but
version 2.0 that Bradley actually worked on is absolutely amazing and pleasure
to use!
We had a very nice time brainstorming and figure out how to improve it. Bradley
did all the hard work, cleaning it up and build a very nice interface around it.
We are using it now for an other bird (i can't mentioned the project yet, but
it looks great), and we are using it for other type of scattering like leaves
for trees for exemple.
Very very useful!
I can't wait to show you the next projects using it!
And i am glad i am finally on the Softimage list!!!!
It was about time.
Thanks again Bradley!
Vince.

You are correct. :-)
This would be a good time to introduce Vince Baertsoen, VFX Supe here at The
Mill in NYC. He's the bearded fellow who appears at 1:25 in the video, and I
believe the main architect behind the feather system, along with David Barosin.
I've been working with Vince since the beginning of the year, a super nice
fellow who really should be more visible in the community, especially
considering The Mill here in NY are using ICE like crazy and are on the prowl
for talent.
