My current projects are adding a chocobo from final fantasy to ark survival ascended.

The game isn't out yet so i'm working in the Ark survival evolved dev kit.

Images of the Chocobo and my creation process

Updates from Feb 26th 2023

It has taken months to get it to a point where I'm happy but the main feathers are starting to look really good. I achieved it after many different iterations using blenders hair particle system and then converting it into the feather object I had made.

Update from the 2nd of April

The normals for the feathers have finally been fixed and I have added extra feathers. I have also modeled a saddle to go with it. The main rig is now my next goal

To create the feathers I used blender hair feature but set it to make the hairs as planes that I had a feather picture on. Then I edited Ark's feather shader until I was happy and put it on
