APLH - Full Bento / BOM Arabian Horse Avatar 1.0 from LJ Farms / Texture Barn

Introducing
The APLH Arabian Horse Avatar
complete bento & bakes on mesh (BOM) enabled horse

**NOW INCLUDES BASIC ENGLISH TACK FROM CHEVAL D'OR!!**

Release date: August 2022

In development for over a year, this brand new Arabian horse avatar is a completely new design from the ground up. Utilizing the latest technology available to Second Life, this bento enabled horse uses Bakes on Mesh (BOM) to make changing your horse's colors and markings easier with almost unlimited possibilities. A wide range of spunky and realistic animations round this horse out, achieving as close to lifelike realism as I could attain, with a bit of Second Life sass thrown in for good measure.

This beautiful Arabian horse was carefully sculpted from scratch by me, Jess, with a careful eye for detail and realism. It comes with five base coat colors to get you started - Black, Bay, Sorrel, Red Chestnut, and Grey. It also includes many kinds of face and leg markings, including black legs which many people have requested over the years, so you can make ANY base color into a "bay" if you like. In addition, it includes a pinto and appaloosa layer. To help with RP'ing, it even includes layers for body scars, dust'n'dirt, and a foamy mouth. The coats of course include the detail that I am known for, with just enough veining. Yes, it does come with PG gender bits as well for a mare, gelding or stallion. The mane is also rigged so that it flows in the wind! The AO has a variety of idle animations that also allow the head to move freely with the mouse if you desire. The simple yet diverse Animaton HUD gives you a variety of pre-set animations as well as individual animations that can be combined and played at the same time. Facial expressions, horsie behaviour, and some cool new dance moves - all in a very handy HUD - make this horse fun and easy to play with.

Being that BOM allows for about 62 layers, that leaves a LOT of room for customizing creativity! (Best of all, NO alpha halo!!!) There is a Devkit included with this horse so that you can utilize the UV maps to make your own custom wearables. Whether it be your own coats, markings, tattoos/brands...the limit is your imagination! It also includes instructions for how to make your own layers.

I trust that you will enjoy this new horse of mine and I look forward to seeing all the wonderful add-on creations that our talented horse lover community comes up with!
