Procedural FeatherAuthor: Tim Marinov
Generates a procedural feather. Includes a number of useful strand-related compounds that can operate on their own. From the si-community thread: you have to create the curve along Y axis the center of the curve has to be on the first point the pointcloud has to be parented under the curve and to be at 0.0.0 TR ‐ Then you can transform or deform your curve and the feather will follow.

Video available here. See the thread linked below for all the details.

Yes but i'm not much skilled in ICE ;)
It don't make the Base_Strand.

Myself on the other hand, am still using SI daily, just dont check in this forum that often, so here is info you need.

If you open the scene file that Tim provided it all works fine in 2015 straightaway and the 'fill interp array' compound is clearly there in the 'Create_ F_Base_Strand' compound. So the error is from how you exported his compound from the scene.

My suggestion is to go back to the provided scene and re-export the master compound 'Tim_Feather_Generator' but make sure you tick the box that says 'embed internal compounds' and you will find that all the missing internal compounds are now included.

a clear user error problem , there is nothing wrong with this compound in 2013 - 2015 whatsoever.
This trick worked :-bd now it works properly. Thanks so much :ymhug:
