Here is another way to give your preset a Mane.
There is also another way:http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=10496.0

as you can see leaving the mane like this gives it a weird look,

Feline,

Canine,


--BUT--

if you do this, it makes it look better,

Feline,

Canine,



Here is my presets Mane,

and it looks like this on the preset,



--AND thats that with that part--

now, saving it. im aware that if you save it like Preset_1mane.png into your preset_1 folder, it will immediately work.

so that would be,
preset_1mane.png --> preset_1
preset_2mane.png --> preset_2
preset_3mane.png --> preset_3
preset_4mane.png --> preset_4
preset_5mane.png --> preset_5
preset_6mane.png --> preset_6
preset_7mane.png --> preset_7
preset_8mane.png --> preset_8
preset_9mane.png --> preset_9
preset_10mane.png --> preset_10

in their rightful folders they will work.

i am aware of your codes looking like this when you first start out, (to get to your codes, if you dont know, open note pad, and go into C:\FeralHeart\my_presets and which ever preset folder you are using. at first nothing shows up so click the drop down box that says *Text Documents (*.txt) * and make it so it looks for *All Files*. Then you will get a Material file. open that and there you go.)

--- Code: ---material preset_5_bodyMatL
{

--- End code ---

also, here is the link to download the mane shade with the transparency spikes: http://www.mediafire.com/?y7xycdazm9z3z8c
This (trasnparent spike shade) will make it so the mane on your head is spiky instead of blocky.
Feel free to ask for any help if needed.
