19th Feb 2012, 9:54 AM	Horse Hair Meshes? #1
grindingteeth Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Jun 2010 Posts: 30	I am a complete noob at this, but I want to try my hand at meshing. Particularly Horse 'hair'. But, I don't know where to find them - I downloaded TSW and it doesn't seem to be finding the files for horse hair. It finds everything else - I added the folders to which my EPs are designated and it pulled all the expansion hair for PEOPLE - just not Horses (there is a tab for it though, just no files) Help? Yes I am starting from ground zero here, I am just going to try because hey... you've got to start somewhere.

There's a bunch of ahMane and ahTail meshes in there. You can open it with S3OC (http://dino.drealm.info/den/denforu....php?board=20.0) and use the experimental CASP cloner function to make a package with the meshes, ready for modding.

	Busy mashing meshes.

I did make a roached mane and one with a forelock, but my computer crashed and I had to format it. I've only recently reinstalled everything and I have to start over again on the mesh. Which is okay, because I had a slight joint issue near the withers, even though I retained the original mesh's joint assignments. This issue is not as apparent on long manes so I might just turn out one of those instead.

I see over at http://morningstarequestriansims.weebly.com/, she has started the same project (roached mane), though mine does look different; So you can keep an eye on that as she'll likely be done before me.

However, don't be too impressed. I didn't change the mesh at all. I only rotated and moved EA's spiked mane so that it would appear as a roached mane; I didn't have to reassign joints or mess with the textures.

I can not find FullBuild0_p10.package. I just have the FullBuild0.package and that doesn't have any horse hair meshes in it. I'm trying to make a Clydesdale plaited mane and tail so any help would be greatly appreciated!
