Update:
- need a better sculpt of ... everything xD
- need to decide clothes
- need to find out what to do with feathers

Update!

Since not much time and late to the party I need to switch to the final pose soon.
Meanwhile a couple of days for pants, horns, small things and retopo!

Made a setup in Houdini for feathers. Fully procedural without any textures. Now need to make it possible to mix different feather types and add colors. But the base is here!

Sexypants.
Tested how Houdini Vellum is capable of doing the same job as Marvelous.
Well it works. It is harder to design layout. For example because constraints are point to point, you need manually set seam A and seam B to have exact same point number. Which forces you to create some setup for that.
Also no way to just point at two seams and make constraints between them. You need to make a proper groups and manually type which group connect to which. I had to write a note to remember group names and connections.
Simulation is better though, just because you can edit everything. For example animate forces and add animation to parameters.

work on the face more! keep going <3

Yeah, @wienkind , this week will be work on a face, posing and work on final touches in sculpt. Plus I need some LAVA GIRLS! And a sword to make him an attack dude.
Gosh, uploading gifs are a pain. I made a wing setup. With applying my feather setup i'm pretty good at this question. Still happy that with new vellum I can get almost free wings dynamics in Houdini after you complete the rigging part.

Some update. Thinking about the hairstyle. Made boots. First try on horns. Thinking if horns are a bit brutal devil-like rather than aristocratic prince like.

So it's been fun!
I had a change of mind so now it is a princess xD
This and new horns made me lose 3-4 days. Was it stupid - I don't know but anyway I need at least 2-3 weeks to make it what I want.
I'll try to pose and render fast but maybe not. In any case I'll use this thread to continue the work on this character.
