The feather styling in the feather system is intended to work like that of fur, by allowing it to be combed into shape in exactly the same way. The plumage can be optimised using many control options, with paint parameters also included.
Numerous functions are also available for simulation, with collision and cone constraints ensuring the correct behaviour of the CG feathers.
