[ Sinwave Tail ] by Positive Wavelength Version 1.3

this is a very interesting and versatile tail, and since i needed a bento wolf tail i decided to give this a go since it mentioned having a wolf tail shape, sadly it lacked one though i found one of the fox tails to work.

the animations are a tad fast, but it sadly loses some points due to lacking wolf tail shapes

I suppose this might be a bolt on application for some, but if you have a custom character this will require a bit more effort than other parts in the past. The item has its own UV map and thus will require its own custom textures to match whatever you are doing, and this can be quite time consuming.

I originally had problems with the tail even working, but after a day offline and a relog or five it did start to work as intended. All I can suggest is if you have problems with alpha conflicts is to clear cache, relog and try again. I spent close to two hours trying to get this to work and it apparently ended up being SL being SL the entire time resulting in me wasting two hours over nothing.

The tail has more than a fair amount of animations and poses, although you'll have to go through every single one to see which you like and dislike. That said unlike some other animated tails in the past this one is not "twitchy" or "laggy" in updating its position, but it never seems like it's having trouble thinking of what direction to move to. Equally it moves with the body fairly well, and as a result clips far less than static tails.

Creator did contact based off my last review, which is rare.

Four stars at the moment simply from the amount of effort needed for custom textures. It is its own entity and has its own UV map you have to learn. As of yet I'm not 100% certain I can get it to match my character design or not. Will update later.

Slight curve to figuring it out but the videos help. I appreciate all the customization options, I was able to match it to my skin and get it shaped and sized quickly. As other reviews said, some more animation controls would be nice. I'd like to see more calm tail animations. From everything I tried in the menu they all seem to have an excited worm, fast swish/flick about them. It would be nice to have less animated and more relaxed/slow animations as an option, or an option to load our own tail animations in future updates. Thanks!

It’s a great idea to create a universal tail that fits most furries! But there is not enough tail position for seating. I want to see that the tail would curl around you or rise up when you sit down. I hope this opportunity appears in the next update. Creative success!

This tail can look VERY soft and fluffy. The customizable animations are great. I also like that you can choose which way the HUD expands so that you can move it to the other side of the screen, or the top or bottom of the screen. My only issue with it so far is that custom texturing it is a bit complicated.
