FeatherWidth control June 3, 2026, 5:51 a.m.
Hello Olly,
I ran into the same issue. What worked for me was normalizing the shaft width and barb widths on the feather templates and storing those normalized values in custom attributes. After Feather Template Interpolate, I use these attributes to compensate for the feather length so the widths scale more consistently across different feather sizes.
Then I simply apply a ramp multiplier to get the barb width variation I want.
Hope that helps.
