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 bbzzzzt
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. Do you guys think that using strands vs hair would be a better approach? Why?

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?
