Buford The Bully


This is Buford the Bully, a cockateil character I modelled in Maya 2008. I scanned real cockateil feathers into Photoshop CS2, adding an alpha channel around them. Once in Maya, they were textured onto polygon planes. The alpha channel masks the shape around the feather. There are about 2,350 feathers on his head, 1,175 of them I placed individually. The rest were duplicated and placed on the other half. For about a week, I dreamed about feathers! Lol!
