What buyers say
Rated 5.0 by 10 buyers on Fab
This horse model is stunningly beautiful. It looks to be based on Quarter Horses, which matches the western theme of the package. The materials are done very nicely. I like the masking options. The deformations of the horse are well done and match up with equine musculature nicely. The overall anatomy of the horse is very correct. The animations match the breed of the horse, it moves how I would expect it to. The gallop is very good. The trot is well done. Idle animations are also nicely done. The separate ear and blinking animations are a nice touch. The tack looks very good and fits the horse model nicely. Overall, this horse is well done and I recommend it to anyone needing a horse for a western-themed game.
