Somebody asked me in my webinar last week if it was possible to generate feathers in bifrost. Here is an example of that. I am also attaching my example file for people to study and build on top of. You could add another layer of barbule strands to the barbs and generate even more detail. The setup is a couple of hours work so I'm sure it can be improved a lot more.
Rebel Pack 0.4.0 and MJCG 1.3.2 should work. Some other users have been able to open the file without any issues after they installed those packs. So, maybe something else? Can you post a screenshot of the error? And also, when you start Maya and it loads bifrost, it outputs a log on the script editor with some info about loading bifrost and its compounds. Can you also share those messages?
Awesome webinar Sachin. I am glad that you gave a demo of your terrine carving. Can I email you some times? I am in US. Started my 3D instructor carrier20 years back at Prasad Video Digital in Chennai.

I had reported this to Arnold folks and they confirmed it was a bug. Not sure if it got fixed in the latest release as I haven't tested this yet but you could try with the latest arnold and bifrost versions.
It looks like those barbs are not rendering because there are a few NANs in there.
The easiest way to test for a NaN in programming is by checking if it's equal to itself. Every comparison with a NaN in floating point numbers is false, so a NaN is not equal to itself. (Note - do not use "not equal", since every comparison with a NaN is false.
I've attached a compound that finds NaNs in point positions and sets them to {0,0,0} as an example.
Yes, the arnold logs did report NaNs but I think the part that trips me up is that bifrost is able to compile the graph whereas the arnold procedural fails (rightly so in case of NaNs). Would be good to have consistent behavior across both to detect issues while building the graph.
