I’ve been locked in a dungeon for 3 months producing a training course about creating this guy from start to finish: a model to lit & rendered animation. Piero’s feathers are a blend of 3 particle hair systems; 2 geometry and 1 strand. You can find the 47-part series here .
Blender 2.66-2.67b, Cycles

I’ll be checking this out as soon as I have time. I’m sure I speak on behalf of many here when I thank you for the time you spent in that dungeon
Agreed MonkMonk, I can’t wait to feel wholly inferior trying to work this epic set of lessons.
Thank you Kent for spending your time to create this! Next $10 I get will be going straight to my next citizen membership to watch this series
Amazing job ! The bird reminds me an old animated film : Valiant. The expression, the walk, the wings of Piero is perfectly animated. Awesome
@JSaffari : Thank you
@MonkMonk , Anthony C, Nathan.Ferguson: Thank you! I really hope you enjoy it
@ LeopoldCdeC: I can’t believe I’d never heard of “Valiant” before! Just checked it out and I definitely see what you mean. Wish I had that addition reference when animating!

Well done. The cookie and the leaves look awesome, very detailed featherwork, when the bird is getting excited.
