We are delighted to introduce the new Tail, featuring our exclusive integrated animated system, brought to you by Neurolab.
Crafted with 100% mesh+materials of the highest quality, the Tail boasts luxurious and ultra-realistic baked textures with shadows. It is designed to be compatible with all human avatars, including SL, mesh, and more.
With our complete, menu-driven, and user-friendly SMART HUD Custom Controller, you have full control over your Tail. Customize and tint it to your liking, with options for four different styles of light. The Metal parts are colorable, allowing for further personalization. You can toggle the Lights on or off, adjust their tint across two channels, and even enable or disable the animations. Fine-tune the shines of the materials to achieve your desired effect.
The tail options include:
Speed: You can choose from three different speeds. Speed 1 is the slowest and suitable for crowded or laggy environments. Speed 2 is slightly faster with smoother movement. Speed 3 is the fastest and ideal for well-optimized regions.
Resolution adjustment: When the tail moves too slowly (especially at speed 1), you can adjust the resolution to change the number of frames for the same movement. Resolution 1 is ideal for speed 1 but can also be used to make movements appear faster. Resolution 2 works well for speed 2 or 3, while resolution 3 is perfect for speed 3 and can be used with speed 2 to slow down the movements slightly.
Tail Animations feature:
- Start initiates the tail’s movement, bringing it to life.
- Stop halts the tail’s movement, allowing for a static position.
- Normal mode offers fluid and random height movements.
- Up mode keeps the tail elevated in the air.
- Down mode keeps the tail closer to the ground, for a subtle and grounded appearance.
Tail Animations provide easy customization and control over your avatar’s tail movement, enhancing your virtual presence with dynamic and expressive animations.
Scale: You can modify the size of your tail by making it smaller or larger. You can also adjust the scale factor to make the end of the tail smaller or larger compared to its base.
In addition to its outstanding aesthetics, the Tail is built with high-quality LOD (Level of Detail), ensuring it maintains its professional video game quality even from a distance. The Stretch Resizer system, combined with FACTOR SCALE, allows for a perfect fit on all avatars, including children and Petites Avatar, providing maximum comfort and ease of use.
Please note that the Tail is available in various versions. For more information, please refer to the related options listed at the bottom of the page.

HOW TO USE
– Wear the tail.
To open the menu, click on the base (the closest part to your body) of your tail
MENU SETTING
• HUD Custom
Connect the tail to customize with your SmartHUD
• Speed >
The tail is animated using a script, you can change the animation mode, scale it, but most important, set the speed and resolution, even if this tail is made with a single script there are many pieces to move and rotate at a high frequency and we have to take care about script time and lag
You can select 3 different speeds and 3 different resolutions.
The speed will affect the timer, then the framerate.
→ Speed 1 is the slowest, you can use it when you’re in a crowded place or a laggy place, this will reduce a lot the script time of your tail.
→ Speed 2 is a bit faster and use a bit more script time, the movement is smoother
→ Speed 3, the fastest : you can use it when you’re in a good region (not too many people, not too many scripts, …)
When the tail moves too slowly (Speed 1 essentially) you need to adjust the resolution, this will adjust the number of frame for a same movement
→ Resolution 1 : lowest number of frame, ideal for speed 1, but you can use it to make the movements looks faster
→ Resolution 2 : nice for Speed 2 or Speed 3
→ Resolution 3 : nice for Speed 3, you can use it with Speed 2 to make the movements looks a bit slower
Too see region’s info press CTRL+SHIFT+1 (or in menu “Advanced”=>”Performance Tools”=>”Statistics”. Click on “Time” to show more details and check the “Sleep time”. If it remains over 10 ms you can use Speed 2 or Speed 3, this region runs well. If it’s between 2 and 10 the region runs well but if there are often many people (an event maybe) check somtimes if the region is still ok. Under 2 ms it’s better to use Speed 1.
You can of course keep the tail at Speed 3 all the time, it’s not a grieffing tool, it will not kill the region… but keep in mind that in an event you can help a bit too reduce script time
• Scale >
You can modify the scale of your tail, make it smaller, larger, change the scale factor between first and last pieces
→ Reset : reset all scale settings
→ Global / Length / Width / Height : update the scale in all directions (global) or in a specific direction
→ Factor : this factor is used to make the end of the tail smaller than its base (if it is less than 1) or bigger (more than 1). You can set it from 0.9 to 1.2.
• Start The tail starts moving
• Stop The tail stops moving
• Normal This is the default movement type of the tail, it can go at random heights
• Up The tail remains in air
• Down The tail remains low
