(2021 Update!) It's been a while and I don't have the means currently to update this item for QoL features such as animation interruption errors, or adding a color change HUD due to my lack of knowledge regarding SL scripts.
If you are having trouble with the tail's positioning on your avatar's body or animation errors I STRONGLY recommend using another animator from a more advanced seller.

I also don't have as much time to help with troubleshooting anymore so PURCHASE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
As such I'll be DROPPING THE COST now.

This is a bento product and requires a bento compatible viewer!

PLEASE BE AWARE that if this tail is clipping, it is how the extended rig works, this is a feature and not a bug. (As of 2018)
Consider this before purchasing bento tails, if your avatar is of a larger size or different shape from standard avatars.

If you are using a common cowgirl(?) or minotaur avatar that has a larger backside, this tail WILL CLIP into your body.
I offer an animation to fix this in the related items but it NEEDS TO BE SCRIPTED TO LOOP which I cannot do. It's only halfway there to fixing the problem.

Loving it so far

I bought this set simply for the tail - I desperately needed a good Bento tail to mod for my lion and unicorn avatars but everything I tried was a waste of L until this came along. The modding files were easy to obtain, unlike most mesh parts, and, while it took me a little bit to get it just the way I wanted, I managed to edit them just as easily. So now my avatar can have a fully customizable tufted tail that isn't flat/smooth with detail-less textures! Plus the animations are good on their own so you don't have to replace them unless you simply want to - it has a nice lively wag but I know some people prefer that wild tail-flicking or even borderline stagnant. Thank you greatly for making this, it really has been a lifesaver, and I look forward to potential updates (as well as the possible longer/shorter versions mentioned in the notecard) And just an fyi to anyone looking to buy this - the tail goes FANTASTIC with the glutz floppy bento ears!

Great tail, needs animations
full star full star full star full star empty star Posted April 01, 2017 by Penny Patton

So far the best bento cow tail I've seen.

It's not placed too low, a problem I've seen with other bento tails.

The draw weight is lower than the other bento cow tails I've tried.

Despite what the other review says, with the provided PSD file I found this tail very easy to retexture. (The texture itself is pretty wasteful, the creator will want to work on creating textures with as little empty space as possible in their future creations. This texture could have been 512x512 instead fo 1024x1024 without sacrificing any detail or resolution, just by removing the unused space.

Also, this tail does not come with spec or normal maps. That's a pretty big oversight by now. With the textures provided I was able to make my own, but not everyone can do that.

Still, I'm going to go easy on taking stars away because all that considered this is the best cow tail you can get right now, whether you're a furry, a cowgirl, or a minotaur.

Well for cows its useful and such but I tried texturing it to fit a lion and honestly not easy to texture so really doesn't fit the animation is okay but seems like it could do more Overall not bad but doesn't fit for what I was looking for
