For the Want of a Saddle

Haslor

If you want to use the Saddle of the Knightly Barding, you might find this useful.
It contains two Property Presets which control the opacity, for the 8 or 9 surfaces of the Barding.
They can be used at any time, even after the horse is posed, because they only the opacity and nothing else.
One to set the Opacity for these surfaces to 0 and then other to reset them to 100.
The icons can be found in the Knightly Barding folder under Properties.

If you use smart content this package also contains the metadata files, so so they show up when you select the Barding.
The metadata will need to be loaded manually. This can be done by clicking on the "Content Library's" action icon; select "Re-Import Metadata..."; uncheck "User Data" and "All Products"; and after scrolling to the bottom selecting "Knightly Barding Properties"; then Accept.

Pick this up here: Knightly Barding Properties

These have only been tested in DAZ Studio, though they may work through DSON.

Great idea. Thank you very much.

I should note that's a "War Saddle", not a leisurely riding saddle, thus the high back and front.

But yeah, it seems so obvious now, but I should have included a preset like that when I made the durn thing. :D

True, but the ability to just have the saddle if what is riding, would be nice, it looks better in a Medieval scene than the english saddle or even western. I made this so I won't have to do it by hand each time.

What I need to find is a good example of a period sidesaddle for Ladies.
