Cuboid 3D tail mode
Hi! After playing the 23w13a_or_b April Fool's snapshot, going back to base vanilla made me sorely lack the boofy tail that the "Trails and Tails" vote added to the game. I turned to this mod to see if maybe I could add it to my skin through here, but it seems you only allow 2d tails as of right now. Fair enough, but sad.
This feature request is exactly what it says: add a 3d tail mode. Maybe its version of "tail segments" could add onto the length, instead of bending the cubes- if it's not just outright disabled.
If you would like a reference for what I mean by "boofy", or context to my suggestion for its interaction with the tail segments feature, please see this Twitter link. I hope you may consider this suggestion!
And though you may note the date, please know I am completely serious. I love my character's boofy tail design. I don't even know if "boofy" is an actual word. But I'd say it's a good description, wouldn't you?
I don't understand what you mean. I don't tend to play the April Fools snapshots.
For a while we've been talking about adding a tail mode that's similar to the "cross" ears mode — is that sorta what you're looking for?
That could work, but I was thinking it could actually be 3d? Realized I forgot to actually include in-game screenshots.
If 3d is not an option, a cross model option will be good enough! Thanks for the swift reply!
There's not enough space in the skin to fully texture map a cube like that.
I'm still considering potential ways to squeeze out a 3D tail here (similar to the extremely awkward and contrived mapping used for snouts) so I won't close this yet.
Though it wouldn't cover every use-case, would it be possible to just have the one tail mapping be reused on all 4 faces and then add an extra solid color at the tip as a single pixel?
It'd work for foxes and raccoons but probably not huskies which need different texture for the sides than the top and bottom.
But it's probably the best option for space-saving.
