There are a lot of new things I had to learn, such as: how to move objects between scenes; how to model from a blueprint; and finally, how to create wings using Dupliverts. There's a lot to be said for Dupliverts here as one wants the feathers to move in groups, so it doesn't make much sense to create a single wing object with a single texture map. Yes, the wings will be rigged, and I will upload this model to the crew.
I've been playing Telecasters professionally since before most of you were born, so creating a model was truly fun.
And here are the wings with the feathers properly aligned. Note that I'm not going for anatomical perfect here, just a more iconic look.
I will rig the wings in the next post, however.
