Better Horses Mod (v1.2) Looking for horse armour texturers!

[Omzdog]

Yes yes yes very nice, buffed up horses good idea.

Awesome! I've thought this should be done for a long time. I'd be very interested in getting horses like the for Hundred Years War. 

I don't know about the rigging problem though, unfortunately.

Purty horsies
Looks nice.

Yeah Niek, I agree that the type that are supposed to be a bit heavier probably should be and I've always thought that about the Native horses. I'd be happy to do that with you. I'll be on holiday for a week or so, so I'll get in touch with you when I get back! =D

Great, thanks a lot!

Not sure what tibula padulosa is, but I'm sure you'll be fine

Alright saregona,

Rigging problem not solvable for now. We'll have to wait for a new BRF edit version and hope that'll take care of the problem. Once that's available I'll pick this up again though.

For the record, here's a pic of the horseleg spaghetti I'm currently getting (with the help of WilliamBerne who was kind enough to quickly import my rig since I didn't have things set up to do this).


(Also a few errors in the neck and hindquarters, but those shouldn't be too hard to fix, but I suspect those are actually due to some rigging errors. Shouldn't be hard to fix though. It's the legs that flabbergast me.)

Edit: alright disregard that. With the (major) help of Dain Ironfoot (big credits to him!) I have another possible solution and I have pretty good hopes for this one! Just need the time to try it in the next few days or possibly a week or so.

They are beautifull!

Hey Niek,

Haha, horsie spagetti =P I'm sure you'll work it out just fine. While you're editing the meshes though, might I suggest you give the heavier horses a more roman (convex) profile? It'd just suit the whole heavier look much better than the Thoroughbred-like straight head they have.

Also, I thought you might be able to make a finer boned horse mesh too? Base it off of an Arabian horse, the beautiful ones with the dished faces, just look them up. And making the steppe horse more ponyish (rounder body, shorter legs, thicker neck, shorter head with slightly concave profile) would be cool too. Just tell me what you think, because obviously you have to work the heavier mesh out first.



NOW, I  have two new textures and a replacement buckskin one for that evil one I hate. These textures feature 'shinier' manes and tails, as well as glossy sorta coats and lovely colours! There's only three because it's the holiday season and I've been busy partying, sleeping, eating and looking for work... and I'm lazy =D Here they is for you all to take a look see! (sorry the pics are a bit small, I have dial up and didn't wanna wait forever for them to upload...)

(click to show/hide)

I'm not going to upload a new pack until I have a few more though, I just thought I'd show you all what I've been doing toward this here mod. If anyone has constructive critisism feel free to give it.

No haters =P

Thanks to everyone for their kind words about my ponies, lots of support so far, and there are more awesome textures to come I promise! =D
