New Today, the RealHorse Trakehner Horse Avatar
The new *E* RealHorse™ Trakehner is a highly detailed mesh quad avatar with both breed and gender differentiation built in. This 15.2 hand horse comes with 26 coats (13 dapple gray, 13 classic bay) each with the traditional “Trakehner” breed brand on its left hip.
Designed to be simple and easy to use, the RealHorse™comes with a full AO, gesture HUD, riding system, texture HUDs for additional coat options, and nonfunctional genitalia.
To unpack your new RealHorse Trakehner, simply wear its delivery box and click it.
It will place a labeled folder in your inventory. Drag and drop the entire folder onto yourself. Alternately, right click and select Replace Current Outfit.
You will find yourself wearing your horse body, eyes, eyelids, ears, tongue, appropriate shape, alpha layer, AO, texture-scripted manes, texture-scripted tail, texture-scripted forelock, gender-appropriate genitals, gesture HUD, and an ‘Extras’ HUD.
Click the ‘Extras’ HUD to put a second folder full of goodies into your inventory. Detach the Extras HUD and file it away to save a copy.
Your Extras folder includes: two multi-coat texture HUDs; an eye texture HUD; a builder’s pose stand, genital texture HUD, unrigged tack including an English Saddle, an English Bridle, a Western Saddle, a Western Bridle, a mesh Halter, a Primrose Wagon, two riding systems (one RH adjusted, one competitive with BC/WH) + a riding system rezzer.
We have added new functionality to the RealHorse Trakehner, including the ability to rez a riding system, builder’s pose stand, and cart from the gesture HUD; added a builder’s pose to the HUD to enable easy tack tweaks and other modifications; added 3 new full body animations (Mid Rear, High Rear, Kick-Buck); added an ‘Extras’ button on the HUD, to let people redeliver their texture HUDs for their breed easily and at any time and lastly, added expansion buttons for the new Sitting Pretty Gesture HUD.
We have also updated the riding system to make it more stable and easier to use, and made some small fixes, including placing the hoof dusters in the Extras.
The *E* RealHorse is currently available in 11 breeds of horse, each in mare and stallion avatars. Each has unique body curves and sizes. All of our rigged tack and accessories flow and hug the body with these different breeds. Our rigged tack and accessories is rigged to accentuate the realism and flow of these beautiful horses. To ensure the best experience with the new Trakehner, we highly recommend you leave the basic shape alone. Changing the base shape will change how tack fits.
