=======================================
=OPEN=MER=TAIL=
Welcome to my project to unify mer tails in SL & OS under a single bento tail rig!
This tail is an entirely custom creation by me (Ghost Cloud)
as a gift to the SL mer community. Please enjoy it!
This tail currently fits the bodies:
- Maitreya Lara
- Belleza Freya
- Belleza Jake
- Legacy Athletic
- Must Trade Bara
PLEASE NOTE: OpenMerTail comes with NO ANIMATIONS. You will have to buy an AO!
Check the "Compatible AOs & Furni" Notecard for recommendations.
With this tail, you are permitted to:
- Use the tail as-is
- Edit the textures and sell BOM skins for this tail with whatever permissions you want
- Edit the tail mesh itself and sell remixes of the tail with whatever permissions you want
- Port the base tail to new bodies and contribute to the base project's library of supported bodies
(send me (Ghost Cloud) the blend file to submit your contributions!)
- Use this tail as a reference for making poses and animations
What you cannot do with this tail:
- Use the tail mesh & textures outside of Second Life and OpenSim in other games, such as VR Chat and The Sims.
TL;DR This is a fullperm resource for your own mer tail creations WITHIN Second Life & OpenSim!
Have fun and enjoy! :D

CREDIT & THANKS:
Thank you to Observation Arcana for helping to convert to other human bodies (Belleza, Maitreya, MT)

Really fantastic resource!
I just made a new tail for Maitreya from the wonderful OMT, with brilliant new PBR materials. I'm going to plug it here because I'm selling it with 100% of my proceeds being donated to the SL Safe Waters Foundation. Help SWF continue "Helping Mers be Mers" by picking up one of these! Search Marketplace for "Akumal-P" and they'll come right up.
I can't believe this is free!
This fits my avatar just fine. It was a little challenging to figure out how to make a custom texture, which doesn't cause me to mark it down at all. Just be aware that making custom textures for this tail is probably not something a beginner would want to tackle.
What a wonderful gift!
And kudos to you for making it opensource for all grids. Running to your store now to buy something else from you so that you are repaid for your kindness.
Good free bento tail
This was a really cute bento tail that worked as intended and looks cute.
Very good thank you!
Well, I read the review below that said it was not good and I disagree. It's brilliant! I love it, and I have never tried these before and I had no problems at all. Yes you do need a Mer hud for it to work and you can find a good mer ao hud that works on the mp .. took a bit of searching for me but I found it here https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Merman-AO/23581955
Thanks the tail is a good one.
