Yes we made a test with that approach but using hair instead of strands. I created a small grid from where I emitted some hair with a feather shape then instantiated it on to the MBFeather system and it worked great. The only prob is that we have a texture on the head that we transfer to the hair so the hair gets some color variation and we couldn't find a way to transfer that onto the instanced hair feathers.... If anyone knows a way please share :)
