How to create feathers for game models?

Hello, everyone!

I am posting here for the first time because I need help figuring out how to make feathered models for use in a game. I am making various dinosaurs (true to life, so many are covered in feathers), but I do not know the first thing about how to do this. I’ve looked online, but most of the stuff I’ve found is about how to make individual feathers, or is only applicable for static models that don’t need to be animated in real-time.

Any help or pointers are vastly appreciated! I’ve attached a picture of the “naked” model I am working on to show what needs to be done (Sorta).Struthiomimus model side view.jpg
