A hybrid of zebra looks also interesting ?

maybe look at how you're ending it

Here's a funny 'secret'; that overlay wasn't meant for horses at all in the first place which is why it doesn't have "natural" end like that in body. I see what you mean though, I'll look into it.

Regarding ENB, what settings did you use for this particular Screenshot? I use Rudy ENB, but I'm not very happy with the result.

I flail around with ENB settings until I find something that looks good enough for the scene so I can't recall the exact pre-brightness, saturation, contrast etc.. but I use my own custom LUT based on the default one most of the time.

Also keep in mind that with exterior cell shots, the weather and time of the day make a massive difference so you might want to keep a list of weather codes handy and force the ones you want, though 'fw 10E1F2' works most of the time.

 

While having an ENB designed for it helps a lot, there's a lot more nuance in taking an appealing screenshot than that. If you have more questions about the subject, I'd happily answer them, but I think that should be moved to PMs as to not derail this thread further.

Okay folks, I have to come out clean, I have done ridiculous amount of photowork with the horses but I'm just too lazy to post them here so here's a giant imagedump of equines and equine accessories.

 

@Bad Dog If you find anything nice here, you might want to at least replace the dollar store zebra in mod images since that's really outdated with old eyes, body texture etc. and doesn't exactly reflect the current state of the horses.

 

So, without further ado...

Spoiler

-Screenshot-Fu_separator

Though if you just want a recommendation for one or two packs that cover a lot of poses for various scenarios, you really can't go wrong with Halo's Poser and/or GomaPeroPoses.

LOL and not just the zebra either.

 

How come no one has done a unicorn photoshoot?

Personally, I'd like to see more Leopard sharks, but that's different thread. More of the giraffe wanna be would be nice

Well... As much as I'd like to oblige, both of those overlays are WIP. Leopard is having an art pass and giraffe is on hold for now since I ruined my wrist and need to let it rest and trust me, you don't want to see the backside of the usable giraffe one.

Well, apparently I have no idea what I'm doing so these ended up pretty damn generic and bright.

[Bad Dog]

Sweet!

 

[ASlySpyDuo]

Finished the pseudo-giraffe overlay.

 

Spoiler

 

In case anyone wants to fool around with them:

HorseOverlayUpdate.7z

 

Just overwrite the current overlay package with these.

Fits UNP and SOS, as usual.

 

[cutcut]

I'd like to suggest to get different tails, or tail hairstyles for Your race, any chance for this to happen :P? By far this is going very well

[Bad Dog]

A variety of tails could be interesting.

Thanks   (it's more complicated than I thought ?)

Looks great! I patiently await a SSE version so I can begin the long and arduous process of making it work with the 3BBBa body.

 

But seriously, I didn't realize I needed this until I saw it.

It works with 3BA out the box since there's no skeleton or mesh to patch or swap, but the texture are made for unp not cbbe, i converted it using cathedral asset optimizer and combined all the files in one archive for anyone who wants to test it on SSE, just remember the body texture won't look good unless your using a UNP body.

 

If you really want to use it with cbbe (3BA or not) you can either try to patch the body texture or use something like the Titkit mod to hide the misaligned nipples.

I was talking more about making sure the 'armors' have all of the bones and weights, as 3BA's namesake feature isn't standard in most outfits, but thanks for the download.

 

Now I just have to figure out how to make a working texture under the CBBE standard. Maybe I can find another animal mod with CBBE textures and adapt it.

The UUNP and CBBE bodyslide base/zeroed slider shapes are pretty much a 1:1 match as far as shape goes (or at least as close as the differing topologies allow for). Couple that with Blender's ability to project (bake) textures from one mesh to another based on geometry or shape, and converting texture sets from CBBE to UUNP and the other way around becomes easier.

 

That's actually the method I use, and I still intend to give a try at making a quick CBBE conversion of the current textures at some point, but I have no ETA nor I see it happening anytime soon so if you know your way around Blender and/or are willing to tinker around and see if you can get it done, giving it a shot yourself in the meantime is an option.

 

EDIT: also, re your previous question, I'm pretty sure this mod doesn't include any "armors" so far and even when it does it will only be headgear (bridles and helmets) which has nothing to do with 3BBB, so that should never be an issue.

Beautiful, thank you!

 

But rules are made to be broken. Tanith Lee has a great scene with muscular unicorns in colors of umbar and rust. They stamp small animals under their iron hooves and rip them apart with their teeth.
