Feather Template from Shape geometry node

Generates a feather template from shape curves.

Generates a feather template from shape curves. It takes the input shape curves and creates a feather template that can be used for further feather generation or manipulation.

Note

Input curves are currently expected in the XZ plane.

Parameters

Normalize

Normalize

Specifies whether to normalize the generated feather template. If enabled, the template will be scaled to have a unit length.

Move to Origin

Specifies whether to move the generated feather template to the origin. If enabled, the template will be translated so that its base is at the origin.

Rachis

Width Root

Specifies the width of the rachis (central shaft) at its root.

Width Tip

Specifies the width of the rachis at its tip.

Barbs

First Profile From Shape

Specifies whether to use a section of the shape curves as the barb profile.

Barb Start on Shape

Defines where the tip of the first barb lands on the shape curve. When First Profile From Shape is enabled, the barbs will additionally take on the profile of the shape curve up to this location.

Resolution

Shaft Density

Specifies the density of the shaft base. The shaft base is the part of the curve that doesn’t have any barbs.

Barb Density

Specifies the density of barbs.

Barb Segments

Specifies the number of segments (vertices) in each barb. NOTE

This is constant within a geometry. All barbs have the same number of vertices due to the tuple attribute used to store barb values.

Add Barb UV Attributes

Specifies whether to add UV attributes to barbs. If enabled, UV coordinates will be generated for each barb point, stored in a separate barbuv attribute alongside barbl and barbr.

Set Name

Specifies whether to set a custom name for the generated feather template.

Name

Specifies the custom name to be set for the feather template.

Set Side

Specifies whether to set a custom side attribute for the generated feather template. This is used when populating a groom with feather templates to automatically mirror templates when they're used on the side of the groom they weren’t built for.

Side

Specifies the custom side attribute value to be set for the feather template.
