TruRare/TrueFur!

[south wadi]

So...we have TruRacs, but, I wanna take that idea a little further, and bring it to rares, especially piebalds.

As of now, the piebalds in game have a few set patterns you can get, which while cool...makes little to no sense, and to some people, might get kinda old. Piebalds irl have extreme variation and little to none of them are the same. Same goes for things like leucism, perhaps to a lesser extent though.

My idea is that the patterns of the fur could be generated randomly, giving completely random patterns for certain rares, and making every single one feel special, rather than having the same few patterns for each of them! I'm not sure how that could be done, but it seems possible :)

Down below this will be examples of mainly deer, but animals like foxes could also really benefit from it!

And animals like moose, with only one piebald fur, pretty much need it in my opinion

[blissful plinth]

If they could figure out how to implement this, it would be amazing.

[left comet]

Yes, that's a black bearthe second one

[south wadi]

That's sick. More animals getting piebalds with an update like this would be awesome

[left comet]

Coyote and a cape buffalo

Coyotes have some.amazing coat colors that just aren't being shown

[south wadi]

Coyotes need their own TLC entirely, they look absolutely horrendous and are almost the same size as red fox 😭

[south wadi]

Very pretty yotes

[south wadi]

Lord that kudu 😭

Also, leu whitetail

[left comet]

Man looks like he wants to ask you for some cheese. . .

[quaint grove]

I have limited knowledge of modeling but it seems pretty possible, just need 2 textures and a couple masking variables and boom, unique rares

[south wadi]

Extremely convenient timing in #📢︴game-news

[south wadi]

Another leu whitetail

Very rare leucistic pronghorn

Piebald Moose

Leucistic Mule deer

Piebald Roe deer

[south wadi]

That first leucistic mulie is gorgeous

[reef pivot]

Fr

Whitetail

[green pivot]

Yes!!! Piebald can vary so much and it's such a shame that piebald patterns are so limited in the game. Here's some more piebald roe deer, which often have this half white pattern

Also here's some leucistic foxes (the pelt is from my own collection). The leucistic ones like this are the result of hybridising between wild red foxes and farm-type American red foxes. The farm foxes are kept as pets but often escape and breed with wild foxes which introduces the platinum gene into the population. They are super pretty and I would love to see them in the game

And some piebald red foxes with various patterns

[reef pivot]

I love how the piebald affects the velvet, it’s so pretty although it’s not good for them irl.

[green pivot]

Yeah, that one is so pretty. I wish there was a velvet rack for them in the game.

[reef pivot]

Yeah would make hunting a lot more enjoyable.

[reef pivot]

Rare moose

[left comet]

I could see this being a reserve mission critter, Midas the Golden Moose, that becomes a rare fur type after the mission

[desert iron]

That coyote looks exactly like the piebald in game

[left comet]

Might be the inspiration for it tbh, that photo has been around for ages

[reef pivot]

Ye they really did good for piebald coyote

[quaint grove]

That's a pretty small fabled birch

[south wadi]

DownUnderTaxidermy on Instagram posted a piebald water buffalo too once!

[mint harness]

I support this

[desert iron]

Greater Kudu my beloved !

[south wadi]

70 likes baby! Let's get EW to notice this :)

[solid urchin]

Bump this, everything in this thread is gorgeous and needs to be added!!!

“Fawn Spots” on Red Foxes would be so cute

And here’s that one blue piebald moose spotted in Norway. Would be a cool Mission Rare on a new snowy map?

[south wadi]

Agreed! I love that piebald moose :)

[solid urchin]

They also REALLY need to add the ability for piebald furs to spawn on any common and uncommon fur type.

These foxes in Planet Zoo for example; they all have different fur types and they ALL have different PIEBALD PATTERNS!

If the developers could create at least 5 piebald variants based on the heaviness of the patches they could code it so the white patches would randomly appear on common and uncommon furs.

Example of patch heaviness

1. Very light patching, only whiteness on the face and feet
2. Light patching, more patching than the first but less than the third
3. Normal patching, the current piebald variant for that species in the game but available on ALL common and uncommon fur types
4. Heavy patching, more white with still a handful of the original fur type
5. Very heavy patching, all white with only a single patch of the original fur type left (maybe only on the upper body so people don’t mistake them for albinos)

All EW really needs to do is just make different overlays of white and code it to appear onto common and uncommon furs types instead of just splashing some white onto one of the most common furs and saying here you go
TruRare please come to TCOTW!!!

[south wadi]

That'd be insanely cool! I really like the Planet Zoo foxes

[south wadi]

That’s a domesticated water buffalo but it still looks cool

[north bluff]

to everyone who decided to support this post but not when I made it months ago, unhappy new year to you

[solid urchin]

lol what?? what does this even mean bro

[solid urchin]

almost at 100! keep it up :)

[north bluff]

posted the same idea months ago but only got 16 likes 💔

[south wadi]

Bro's making me feel bad for getting 100 😭

Oh no way this actually got 100-

100 BABY 🎉

[solid urchin]

CONGRATS ON 100^ 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[solid urchin]

I also posted the same idea months ago and it got 50 or so likes. I closed the post because I would rather contribute to this persons post because they are dedicated and clearly have more time to search for and upload photos unlike me. I was only “bumping” my post with messages instead of images that catch people’s eye and start conversations about the topic. If you’re not constantly bumping and adding to your post it won’t get many upvotes. Maybe instead of wishing everyone an “unhappy new year”, just keep it to yourself. There’s literally no reason for you to be mad when the reason your post didn’t get much attention was because of the lack of effort you put into it. Do better. 👍

[north bluff]

holy yap it was a joke

[soft stone]

bump

[reef pivot]

The way you said it, it sounded nothing like a joke.

[north bluff]

thats a you problem my guy 🫡

[reef pivot]

No not at all.

[north bluff]

clearly it is when you are the one who didnt understand it was a joke

[reef pivot]

I was stating a fact, acknowledging what @solid urchin had replied to you.

[north bluff]

brother what kind of insult is "unhappy new year" ☠️☠️☠️
its very clearly a joke, even my messages after are clearly hint that its satire

[reef pivot]

I know it was related to that but I wasn’t referring to that, and no more auguring it’s not needed.

[north bluff]

fair enough

[left comet]

Enough arguing, PIEBALDS

[south wadi]

No idea piebald camels existed, that's sick!

[solid urchin]

I agree no more arguing is needed but just letting you know that unhappy new year is equal to wishing someone an unhappy birthday or unmerry christmas etc, it’s not really an insult it’s just rude - no need to reply to this message and flood channel again, thanks

Anyways, back on topic heres some cool elk I found, not sure what mutation the first one is, maybe leusistic?

[solid urchin]

Perfect example of what I was talking about a few days ago

Hey@south wadi!

Thank you so much for your submission regarding the random fur for piebalds. Rest assured, our team will take it into consideration.

If you'd like to add any other ideas, feel free to do so here: https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[south wadi]

Thank you! :)

[north bluff]

did you include this concept for other fur types of this nature? like black gold boars and any of the wild hog and feral pig fur types? they could use the same treatment

[sage hill]

This is all peak

[south wadi]

That'd be sick too! Even things like spots on axis and fallow deer could look different, giving every diamond a unique feel to it

[solid urchin]

thats actually so smart- that would be amazing to see even if it was just a slight adjustment

[left comet]

He's either piebald or found socks somewhere out there

[rustic prairie]

Funky ass horn on that buffalo

[soft stone]

Bump

[reef pivot]

U don’t really need to bump this cuz a mod checked it

[soft stone]

They do that to almost every post
The bump is to welcome in new people, some may even introduce something new to the table

[south wadi]

Bumping keeps the post up and gets it more attention - which means a higher chance it gets implemented in game!

[reef pivot]

Ah alright my bad.

[hazy cloak]

Ahahahahah

[solid urchin]

Oooh the pattern on its face reminds me of a skull!

[south wadi]

Getting close to 150!

[south wadi]

One of the coolest ones I've seen!

[solid urchin]

I love the stripe!!

[reef pivot]

Not confirmed to be piebald but a very rare raccoon.

[dusty yacht]

The Angler team manged to implement this very thing with fish skins so that every fish you caught had a unique skin pattern .... This would be an amazing addition for the Hunter ....

[south wadi]

TruRare/TrueFur!

[south wadi]

Almost 150!

[solid urchin]

Bump! 3 away!

[south wadi]

One more! :)

[valid nexus]

I would actually try for piebalds if they got reworked like this

[south wadi]

We've made it past 150! Who knows what's possible now

[valid nexus]

Yea🎉

[valid nexus]

🔥

[solid urchin]

I’m back with more Planet Zoo foxes as examples. I know the first and last one are unrealistic but they’re really cool (piebald on silver/black, piebald on cross/partial mela)

One thing that really pmo about the fox Great One is that cross fox fur type is only a G1 and not considered a rare.
While yes it really does fit the G1, it is still a mutated fur type that I feel still should’ve been added to foxes in their update.

[south wadi]

They're so darn pretty

[desert iron]

I agree with the Licorice (Silver Fox) and Midnight Poppy (Cross Fox) Great Ones Furs should be rares or very rares furs instead of great ones

[solid urchin]

Exactlyyy!!! At least a simpler variant of them!!

I really like this Idea, piebald animals are really cool but making them random is even cooler. It would make piebalds way better because piebalds are so unique irl :>. Just imagine the possibilitys

some very cool looking birbs

[young umbra]

I fully agree with this

[south wadi]

Bump!

[twin seal]

Bump pls

[south wadi]

A biiiiiig part of this would be common animals looking different! I don't think it could extend to every animal, but animals with spots, such as feral pigs and fallow deer, would all look at least a little different :)

Trophies having their own looks would really help refresh certain things in the game, I have several piebald whitetail, and they all just look the same. The excitement fades after a couple of em for me, so it'd be insanely cool if the patterns were random!

[south wadi]

Bump! Been a good bit of time

[south wadi]

Bump :)

[covert matrix]

This is a great idea! We really need this!

At what point would piebald become leucistic and vice versa?

[coarse garnet]

I think piebald and leucism are two different things but I aint sure

[ocean crane]

Leucism is partial lack of pigmentation, piebald Is patchy lack of pigmentation, all piebalds are leucistic but not vise versa

[coarse garnet]

thanks!

I think they should add RNGenerator for Piebalds at least.

The Random fur generator for piebalds will choose a random number between 10 and 99. If the random number is 33 for example, 33% of body will be the color white and the rest 67% will be the color brown. Then the fur will be generated with random patterns like in the picture.

of corse they will never add a random fur generator beacuse money = 0

this concept is so cool and it really deserves more attention. TruRares would add more replayability to the game, and it would offer more variety so your rares and uncommons feel more special.

TruRare piebalds is something i want so bad, piebalds are my favorite rares in the game but my favorite species lack in the piebald department (cough cough cow moose is ugly, give me a splashed white moose)

[south wadi]

Moose only having one piebald is such a scam

[south wadi]

Bump!

[thick barn]

Maybe early access could be paid, but released a couple of months later for free

Ew does seem to be one of the better game devs

I would not pay for early access just to see randomly generated rare furs. That'd be scummy
