Note on UV Matching:

This product uses approximated UV matching to adapt the DA Horse 2 UVs for use on Horse 3. Every effort has been made to align the UVs as accurately as possible; however, due to inherent differences in mesh topology, some minor seams or misalignments may be visible in certain areas. These are typically subtle and should not affect most renders but may be noticeable in very tight close-ups or with some specific texture maps.
