byd_pegasus_INK is answer to a long standing request for a pegasus. It combines Byd's horse with the wings from INK's Mimic. I added custom keyframes and texture channels. Parts can be hidden with alpha channels or by hex.

byd_pegasus_INK can be downloaded at the bottom of this page:

Ty. Working on a deluxe version currently. Byd wanted a mouth and reworked animations. I might figure out the mouth but I think the animations are perfect for a horse. Else extras like saddles, bits, redone tail and manes.

Notes: Byd's horse can be scaled and moved by the Biped which most can't. I stumbled on it while changing the tail around just to get an example for myself. For anyone that needs that information I guess.

Noting things I noticed about horse for myself here that I will look at for V2:

- Byd wanted a mouth. I think I can add this without issue by superimposing it from another animal.
- There is broken texturing on the front leg armpits. I can remap it but I don't think it matters.
- The texturing is not symmetrical. I may address this to make it easier to skin.
- I used set wing models where generic would be better for making different type of wings.
- The mane's texture faces are inverted which is why it appears black.
- The mane model is also broken.
- The tail is not the correct size for or horse nor shape at the end.
- Both should actually be hair anyway.
- I am resolving the hair issue by first keeping the OG pieces, fixed mane, mapped to a new texture call "hair".
  This opens up space to make to texture symmetrical and add a mouth.
  Adding alternate mane and tail, more than one for different looks
  I also resized the tail to be the correct length. An alternate nif with the OG size will also be included.
- Again then modelling and including new parts for saddles and so forth to give people options when they want to
  use this to make different looking steeds for their mods
- Yes I am making Swift Wind from She-Ra so there will be a unicorn horn too.

Wow, that's very cool, SA.

Do the wings flap in flight? A suggestion: Perhaps consider bat-like wings too (like Marvel's Dread Knight's horse)?

This is how his horse (Hell Horse) was originally depicted...

Awesome. I had started a skin for Swiftwind. I'll hold out for a bit.
