Better Manes and Tails - Horse and Unicorn

Version: 1.1

Author's Comments:

HI YES THE HORSES DECIDED TO TRY OUT NEON GREEN EYELINER IN DAWNTRAIL. I HAVE CONVINCED THEM TO MAKE BETTER MAKEUP CHOICES, THE UPDATED VERSION IS IN THE GOOGLE DRIVE FOLDER AND ALSO DIRECTLY DOWNLOADABLE HERE.

There's more pictures in the Google Drive folder showing some of the different horses on this model, I can only put one here and decided to use the one showing the full body.

As a certified Horse Girlâ„¢, I've never liked the weirdly hair-sprayed looking manes and tails on the basic horse model, so I spent an entire night ripping Juedi's mane and tail and applying them to this model. Every single horse on this model is accounted for, even NPC variants, so you shouldn't run into any texture bugs.

Things to note:
- This effects ALL horses using the model that the unicorn uses. But not the pegasus, which is a seperate model despite looking identical. I'm hoping to apply this to the pegasus in the near future as well.
- Rigging is not my thing. I had to rig this mane/tail combo to the skeleton myself. The tail animations definitely clip the legs sometimes, and can look a little wacky when running. I'm sure if you look closely some mane animation is odd too. But it's fine if you don't look too closely.
- Don't look too closely where the original tail attached either. It was too high, so this one is lower meaning I had to fill in a hole in the mesh. I'm sure it's imperfect.
- While I applied this to all NPC horse models, I have not been able to check on every single one. I checked on the Steppe ones, but the one in Bozja is on its own for now. Just tell me if you see an issue with that one.

Overall I really like this one better than the vanilla one despite the small bugs, and my friends did as well when I showed it to them so I've decided to upload it here. If you run into any major issues I'm in the TexTools Discord as well as on Tumblr (heretic-altias).

Bonus: If you'd like to customize the mane color, it can be changed in the colorset! Line 15 on material B (the one with Juedi's textures)
