[Spartan included for scale]

1) One VAR is a simple scene with nothing but Tauna Thunderchest.
2) The second VAR includes the Temple scene with clothing and assets; it references 1) so that nobody downloads the textures twice.
3) Also included: a stand-alone (heh) cow hoof morph I made while practicing for Tauna (it's not exactly the same as hers). NOT REQUIRED for Tauna, her hooves are quite built-in.
This morph is free to use for anything, including commercially, but please mention me if you can, so others know where to get it too.
Tauna is a labor of love (well, like most of my characters). She's a full reboot of one of my early ambitious monster girls, which used merged "forbidden morphs," and was my first attempt at hand-painting any kind of texture.
Just for kicks, this was Tauna's predecessor, Ayashe Thunderchest, from early 2019:
I sculpted Tauna 80% from scratch in Blender. I did start with some VAM proportion morphs to begin with, and tweaked her with more after, but her cow bits - hooves, legs, and head - are all original. So if she looks a little too much like a cow... well, mission accomplished, I guess? ?
I also finally figured out rigging in DAZ Studio, though I'm not expert at it yet, so some of her joints may still seem a little wonky. I've updated her to be tons better than in the Early Access release, though!
Her skin texture is 100% from scratch. I was considering 8K textures to capture all the fur detail, but that would be a very big download for folks and they take so damn long to work on, so... just 4K this time.
I used reference photos of actual cows, and I bought a new Substance Painter smart material for dynamic layered fur painting... which only took three days to get working right!
I think it was worth it, though, and it'll be great for future projects as well. I hope to get much better at using it, Tauna's fur is a bit chaotic and messy.
Credits to Roac, Miki, and VL_13 for hairs. The tail is from @USSR (sorry it's not color-matched), I have no idea where I got the horns... hope they don't cause any trouble. Tweakin' morphs are from Spacedog and Kemenate. Plugins from Everlaster, Blazedust, AcidBubbles, and SupaRioAmateur.
Enjoy! ?
