Updated 10/14/2024:
Updated the light version to actually work as intended, and to also work on foals! For foals it is found as a saddle blanket.
If you want the full experience you should still download both files from the files page for heavy (the popular original version.)
-----Old:
Some of the most talented CC artists have been painting unique horses with deep shadows and bright highlights that are impressive feats! However there has been a groan from the horse loving community to have REAL highlights.
I present to you, a shine shader for horses. [Edit 2024: I'm sorry, some pics hosted on Discord apparently broke and replacements have not been created.]
[Pics used to be here here.]
It even captures the skybox light and changes colors and tints at the brightest points, most noticeable during sunrise/set. It is automatic. You do not need to paint custom shadow stencils onto your horses, but you can for a more dramatic effect of course!
This mod works best with a default horse texture replacer such as my Horse Shader Replacer mod but is not required.
