Hey everyone!
We have some exciting updates to share about the future of our breedable horses! After 14 years of innovation, we’re taking a big step forward by introducing Mesh Horses—a new evolution that will bring stunning visuals, better customization, and exciting new features. But don’t worry—this transition will be slow, thoughtful, and designed to protect everything you’ve built in your breeding lines.
What Does This Mean for You?
Your Prim Horses Aren’t Going Anywhere!
Your Prim Horses will continue to function, breed, and be supported just like always. There is no plan to disable them, and you don’t have to switch to Mesh Horses if you don’t want to.
Same Food, Same Consumables, No Extra Cost!
Mesh Horses and Prim Horses will eat the same food and use the same consumables, so if you want to keep both types, there won’t be any added costs or complications.
Prim and Mesh Horses Can Breed Together!
If you’d like to transition your breeding lines, you’ll be able to breed Prim Horses with Mesh Horses. Some, but not all, traits will carry over—allowing for fresh new possibilities, including never-before-seen traits!
A Slow, Thoughtful Transition
We know that we can’t recreate 14 years worth of content overnight, so this transition will take time. We will be working closely with the community to determine which traits should carry over and ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
Why Upgrade to Animesh Horses?
Mesh Horses allow us to fully utilize Second Life’s modern features, including:
Higher-quality, more detailed textures (no more flat, diffuse-only textures!)
Seamless models without the limitations of Prim-based structures
Beautiful, smooth animations!
New, exclusive traits and features
Less Lag! Mesh Horses with Animesh reduce rendering strain, script load, and physics calculations, making them far more efficient and less laggy than Prim Horses—especially in regions with many active horses.
Currently, a lot of time and effort goes into making Prim Horses look and function as smoothly as possible, but we’re limited by outdated technology. With Mesh Horses, we can put more focus on new updates and innovations—rather than constantly working around technical limitations.
What’s Next?
We want this transition to be as community-driven as possible! Expect:
- Surveys and polls to help determine which traits should carry over
- Community Q&As, livestreams, and meetings to keep you informed
- Plenty of transparency as we go through each phase of this upgrade
We know this is a big change, and we’re committed to making sure this transition respects all of the time, effort, and love you’ve put into your horses. The future is looking bright, and we’re so excited to take this next step with you! Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us!
Happy breeding!
The Amaretto Team
