Abstract:
Puss in Boots, one of the new characters in the CG animated feature movie Shrek 2, wears an ostrich feather in his hat. We developed a technique to animate the feather by combining a coarse simulation of an underlying surface with detailed procedural animation on the barbs of the feather.The feather’s coarse simulation is designed to run quickly and produce stable, predictable results. The procedural animation, computed at render-time, oscillates the individual barbs of the feather.
