I was really happy with how this (the stork) turned out... this is the African Wooly-necked stork. Almost all storks have either a relatively smooth feathered neck or a bare-skin neck, but this (and the Asian Wooly-necked stork), live up to their names. The trick for me was to make that difference look believable on a model that supports all 3 types (smooth, bare-skin and wooly). The model itself, has a smooth neck with a series of collar-shaped transparency planes. I thought about creating morphs using those transparency planes to create some sort of wooly-like surface but really didn't have enough geometry to do that. The solution turned out to be much easier than I thought-- just do a robust bump and displacement map and see what that looks like.
