Need Mesh Eyes to Use This Tail
The description says "uses BOM eyes channel" but doesn't define what that means. Exactly what the means is, you can't use this if you don't have mesh eyes. Well you can use it if you want to walk around with black eyes. Wasted the money buying this tail. Someone said it is the best tail available, would have been nice to come with a warning you need mesh eyes .. i might buy mesh eyes .. but i shouldn't have to .. whoever heard of using eyes to texture a tail .. this tail gets a big fail.
I adore this tail... it is my go to
I use a combo of bom layers that I bought at the shop and some of my own... I saw that some people were having issues with custom textures for the tail... the tail has alpha textures so if you apply textures you have to make sure it it follows with the fluff from the texture in the dev kit. If you make it a solid texture it will not look right. Also.. if you applied your texture and you were careful to keep it within the "fluff in the dev kit texture for the tail you could have forgotten to check to see if the tail was set to alpha layers or not... I have done that a million times... put something on and the texture is blocky cause i forgot to make that part of the item alpha.
I completely adore this tail. My one complaint is that the cat5 tail shape is so huge at the base... My avi is like 5.5 feet tall.. kinda short by SL standards.. but i like a fluffy cat tail. the fluffier cat tails have a MASSIVE base where they go into your body. It looks kinda weird. If they update that I will revise this review... over all I do adore the tail. I use the fox2 tail right now cause it is narrower at the base but would really like to see the cat tails look a little betterf.
Love it! But...
I love the tails! But I struggle with adding textures! I'd added my mod texture, and instead of the tail being fluffy it went to being like blocky... Please help and I'd love to change the stars to 5! Completely worth buying!
too complicated
looks weird, im not wearing any eyes rn and im wearing their tattoo, but i cant figure out how to make it work or color it
Ultimate Fluffy Tail Kit
I was gifted this, but I'd say the value is great for the amount of tails you get + the AO! I like that I can adjust the position with the HUD, allowing me to use some of the tails for micro/tiny avatars that otherwise would not fit with other tails!
It's odd that this uses the eye BOM layer instead of something less used like the hair BOM layer, so I'm not able to use the default BOM with my demi-human avatars that use system eyes! But I've been making my own textures anyway, so it's not a big deal- this pack is really ideal for modders!
Good job, well done!
a very well made piece of scripting, meshing, rigging
make sure you are not wearing an alpha layer that covers your eyes - that was the thing that got me stuck at first.
