hi, thanks to all for valuable tips and ideas! best of luck ! note: the metal riser looks like round one, but it´s actually square. [image: zujcp1.jpg]

I use twilight render. That pin "might" be easier than you think. You only need to make one feather component and then reproportion unique instances until you have all the feathers for one wing. Then you tuck the feathers together to assemble the wing. Then group the wing. Then copy and flip the wing horizontally.

hi valerostudio, thanks for your tips, very much appreciated. i´ll try to play with material and model, and we´ll see. cheers!

Hi, I used C4D for a long time, but now it is so expensive that I had to change my SW. But I have collection of C4D models and I had solve how to export some models to SU. I found one solution: Basically I use demo version of C4D and Riptide plugin for Cinema. Demo version of Cinema opens C4D and is capable running plugins all the time. Riptide plugin is capable of importing / exporting OBJ very well. I don't know if it works with very last Cinema demo-version, I use older demo version and Riptide.

@tibet said: ...funny, i thought curviloft plugin will do the magic... It [or EEbyRails etc] probably would,,, BUT they are really necessary...

It's not a try by me, it was on the site Home page of LightUp
