Description
Our equine sims (and mini goats and mini sheep) can now finally get their Boreal Vibrance upgrade!
These eyes I've been working on since before HR was released, that's how excited I was about getting horses haha. I'm a big silly horse nerd as well as a bit of a horse color genetics nerd, so getting to do a set of horse eyes that gives proper justice to equine eyes and all the colors they can come in (while keeping the stylized style) was a treat, and hopefully everyone will enjoy them! :D
Also, a quick note to fellow horse nerds before you burn me on the stakes; yes the sets include some pinkish albino eyes, yes I know albino does not exist in equines, they're included purely for fun/fantasy and for consistency with the rest of the BV sets which always include at least some albino and blind swatches.
Features
- Maxis-match sclera
- Different and unique variants and a good variation of swatches
- Custom subtle specular (eye gloss)
- Fully handpainted with a slight "imperfect" illustration style
- Heterochromia (as additional swatches, all non-blue swatches has two het swatches)
- All Ages and Genders
Like with previous sets, Dapples include multiple texture variants for even more customization options. The horses have a total of four variants;
- Meadow - A regular calm-looking eye with an oval pupil and no visible sclera when not moving.
- Feral - A wilder looking variant for the frisky, or just cranky, horse. It has a thinner, more prominent pupil and a little visible pink sclera.
- Appaloosa - Small iris and a lot of visible pinkish white sclera, intended for pinto and appaloosa patterned horses.
- Fairytale - Special sparkly magical variant for the unicorns (see below)
As a little bonus, the set also includes 4 magical eye swatches suitable for unicorns and other magical equines. They have a subtle sparkle shine effect too!
37 swatches in total (not including the heterochromia swatches).
There's 11 swatches per natural variant, including 4 shades of brown and black, one amber and one hazel designed for champagnes, pearls, tiger eyes and similar dilutions, and three shades of blue including a deep blue swatch inspired by the eye color sometimes seen in splashed white horses, and finally a blind and albino swatch per Boreal Vibrance tradition.
The blind, albino and unicorn (fairytale) swatches, since they're less realistic, are set to not be allowed for random so they won't pop up in townies.
There's heterochromia swatches too! Each of the natural variants have 12 heterochromia swatches each; two per non-blue swatch (one with a blue left eye and one with a blue right eye).
Like with all my Boreal Vibrance eyes, these horse eyes also have a custom much more subtle eye specular (eye gloss effect), that's far less disruptive than the EA specular, but still has a slight glossy effect to make the eyes look alive and not completely matte.
Included in Dapples is also, of course, eye texture replacements for all the mini goats and mini sheep! They also have custom eye speculars. There's three colors for each species, and they should match the original eye color of each of the goat/sheep color variants.
