[Datamine] Lambent Shadowmane Courser 3D model showcase

Cactus_Back

This is a mount from the latest ESO Datamine (July 2020). It looks like it will be one of the Radiant Apex rewards in Sovngarde Crown Crates, the new Crown Crate season. If you missed the full Datamine showcase, you can check it here (website page) or here (YouTube video).

Keep in mind that this model was found in the game files and this mount is not officially confirmed. As such, it might change significantly on release or might never be released at all. It's also very likely that this mount will have additional visual effects in-game.

The pictures from the video can be seen here.

Thanks @Cactus_Back - that's the horse I really need.... It's a color combo that's pretty rare.

Then better save up 2000-3000$. In case its the crown crate radiant apex reward.

No guarantees either you could blow all the money and not even get a single one. So go in knowing this. Also its pure RNG there are 3 radiant apex. When you go hunting for RA's you need to listen to Aptonoth's law. Always like all of the radiant apex's in the crate or you will get something you hate. This way if you get one of the other two you have a plan and like them. Never go for a single one only folly lies that way.

*dry tone of voice* Yes, I'm quite well aware of how that works thank you.

design is great but coloration is boring and dull

Oh, I suppose you could be right. Once the skeleton gets moving and inverse kinetics take effect, who knows, those legs may crumple up. I'm hoping they don't!

@xXMeowMeowXx @Sylvermynx I need it too. Surely they won't deny us. It's so pretty my heart is breaking.

Thanks! I've also found the files for the other two Radiant Apex mounts (Silver Nimbus Wolf and Auric Sabre Cat Duskstalker) and will showcase them as well. And I'd like to do a couple of others, maybe the Durzog mount and one of those Forgotten Vale deers.

You should post them, Cx!! 😊

Looks to be using the newer horse model. The same one the Zero Legion Destrier and the Greymoor pre-order horse is.

Which is the least wonky looking one. They are very thin though, width-wise. There isn't much of a difference between head/neck and body. But they are getting better at making horses, so that's good!

I feel like they have a couple iterations on that model floating around. The mounts you spoke of do look uncomfortably thin, and the front legs are extremely rigid (one vertical shape.) While I was HS chasing in Skyrim last night I found a really pretty bay horse by a cart that I actually dropped everything to inspect. Its model looked closer to this one and it didn't look so bad from the front and back, I think. If I find it again I'll get pictures so I can be sure.

@Versispellis Please do. I've been waiting for a decent horse model for ages. A kingdom for a proportioned horse with normal legs!

@NotaDaedraWorshipper I'll visit the area again tonight and look for it! I have an approximate idea of where it might have been.

SickleCider

@NotaDaedraWorshipper I found it! It's just a tiny bit east of the Hjaalmarch Great Lift, along the road, if you want to go see it. I compared it to a handful of different horses. Beware, this is image heavy.

Findings: I believe the Lambent steed is the same model as that bay, and the problem with the legs is the fault of the skeleton, not necessarily the model.

This whole discussion syrnegizes so well with a recent discussion. It's all about the horse anatomy, models, and rigging.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

@Versispellis Thank you for taking a look and taking some screenshots (Don't have Greymoor so can't look at it myself).

Huh...That one looks like a combination of all the previous models. Like it looks a lot like the base model, but then also not🤔.

And yes. Whenever I talk about how we need a proper horse model, I do also mean that the skeleton and rigging needs work. They are just so much worse than all the other type of mounts.

SickleCider

@NotaDaedraWorshipper Yes, I thought so, too. It's really a strange one! What do you think of it? It's my favorite model so far.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

Think I like it about the same as the Legion Zero Destrier one. They are better than the 2 older models, but there are still things that bother me. Funny how many horse models we're starting to get in the game and none looks right

SickleCider

Oh, for sure, things need fixed. The skeleton, the neck and head (ARGH), and they look quite wrong from the front. It doesn't suffer the destrier's narrow width though. For some reason that bugs me more than anything else.
