[Poll] Bridle Embellishment
🕑 Added 2023-11-02 04:03:06 +0000 UTCUpdate: so yeah I did not know hat/leg slot hides the forelock/leg feathers respectively. Scrapping the idea for 3D embellishments as a separate accessory. Likely, I'll do a combination of both 2D and 3D, ie I'll do some as 2D and also some with the 3D already built in. When those are ready, they’ll become Build-a-Bridle options. Thanks for the input!
I've gotten a lot of good answers from my Build-a-Bridle. I've noticed a few things are requested frequently. So I'm starting two polls to determine what's the preferred way to make it happen.
First is the embellishment poll. By this I mean browband studs and Western bling.
Here's the issue: the 2D area I have to work with is tiny. Which means anything I add as a texture is severely stretched or pixelated. I have two options in mind.
Option 1: Create 3D embellishments (preferred)
Pros: no need to re-download past bridles. SC will not have to make new bridle maps.
Cons: takes up another slot in CAS (likely "hat" slot or unicorn horn [a mod to get rid of the unicorn sparkle would be needed which is available]). Untested as of now; might take longer to make.
Option 2: Re-map the bridle to allow better 2D texturing
Pros: no extra CAS slot taken and no need to stack another accessory. Can, in theory, be done faster and is easier for others to edit the textures themselves.
Cons: This still doesn't help with everything. I could swap the browband and noseband map but that wouldn't help stretching on the Western bridles. You'd also have to re-download old bridles since new swatches and/or a new map would be added.

It seems the cowboy hat hides the forelock but the flower wreath doesn't. To my knowledge, these are in the same accessory slot. Curious. There may be an option to uncheck hiding the forelock. Not sure. Will investigate. But yeah, making CC requires a lot of willingness to experiment lol.

Interesting development! I say keep experimenting. Don’t feel pressured to release something you’re not totally pleased with!

Good to know. Plus it'd easily be missed if in horn. I'm planning the tail slot for my own stuff to come (collars and bell boots) so hat would make the most sense.

3D but in the hat or tail slot :3 The unicorn horn slot tends to be used a lot already for things like chin fluff and shoes
