Just have to agree with the others, nice to see you again :D
Awesome skin, but there is a part on the brust where the texture is the same, but it's getting darker suddenly on one area... Or thoose are two different textures where the first one doesn't bond that well in the second one, but suddenly stops and where the colour is a bit different without a smooth border and might be blurred, so it looks more smooth and natural :) You might fix that ;)

Thanks for all the comments, guys :) So just a few things... Yes, I know Tamara made one, and without going into detail, I wanted to make my own. Yes, I am aware of the darker part of the breast/neck ruff... that's a shadow, not a repeated texture (pretty much that entire area was lifted directly from a high res photo of a Dall ram). Yes, I know about (and have) the Mountain Goat download, but I think I remember not being 100% in love with it, so I may open it up and see what's what. I have no idea if a reskin would be able to be released so that may end up PU if I do fuss with it at some point. And no, there probably won't be a Stone Sheep variant, as (I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong), they are a separate subspecies. I try to keep subspecies' separate when I can, especially if the designation is officially recognized or genetically supported.

Anyway, these guys will range from a light grey to white to cream to (maybe?) tan-ish. Just enough to make your herd look diverse.

Mostly, I need to fix those leg seams. Then the fun (see also: UGH I HATE IT) task of coding and testing.

Yaaaay.

Edit:

Tried to address some of the highlighted critiques (the neck shadow, the repeated texture--I think I got it, anyway--, the leg seams, and Hendrix reminded me about blending the horn with the head). Fixed a few other things as well, mostly patches I forgot were completely barren (whoops!). Variants coming up.

Edit 2: Working in-game. Some things to fix: (1) Location Map ID (works in the Zoopedia, not in the animal's menu); (2) Need to edit the neck ruff alphas because I didn't realize it went all the way from chin to breastbone... whoops); (3) Add water trough; (4) Add scratching post and alpine climbing rock/cave thing to enrichment options; (5) add female-specific icon. Oh yeah, make variants.

I don't blame you - I was never 100% in love with the Mountain Goat either. xD

So after reconsidering my previous stance on the Stone Sheep subspecies v. color morph, I decided to include it because they're pretty and other reasons and such.

This one is pretty much good to go. I want a few more variants and I'm going to try to add some code into the main animal .xml to give the horns skin variants (they're a separate material so... that should work, right?).

Edit: Horn variants work. Thank you Okeanos for pointing me in the right direction! :)

Download should be posted as soon as I get the download screen assembled and expand my dropbox.

Once again, model and horn texture credits to HENDRIX. Thank you to Okeanos Savior for helping me figure out how to give the horns variants. I'm hosting new files on the ZT2 Nexus (my dropbox is full), so please let me know if this works for everyone or if you have any problems downloading the file. Enjoy!

Remember this project? Here's the young skin for the Crimson Rosella. Original model is the Spix Macaw, by ZTABC/Hendrix, edited for me by Platypus (he shrunk the beak to make it more suitable). This is next on my list to finish up and release. Stay tuned!
