Alternative Boars addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

I do NOT allow using these 3D models and textures in mods for other games. It is prohibited. You do it, I will DMCA. Do not come asking for permission, at the moment I do not plan to give it.

Description
A simple addon which changes the 3D models and textures of the boars from the game. These models and textures were done by me using ZBrush, Maya, Topogun and Substance Painter.

The idea was to remake the entire 3D model with better quality, so I tried to keep similar colours while still making them somewhat different, even though the 3D model and 3D sculpt were the same, yet I also wished to keep to the lore somewhat, while adding what I personally believe would be life in The Zone for boars, adding much more fur on the top and bottom, and removing fur from its skin on itself. Unfortunately, Anomaly only uses the same models for the boars, so while this mod includes six size variants (three for brown and three for grey), you won't see the size variants I made. I could directly add it, but it is changing a configuration file, so it may affect compatibility with other mods. However, if you have a configuration file which makes use of mutant_boar_big and mutant_boar_small, you will see the size variations.

The 3D model itself has more polygons than the original model, but it is optimised for games. The textures are all in 4k, but if you install through MO2 you can choose a smaller resolution. Performance wise, if the Alternative Pseudodog and Psydog mod works well for you, so should this, as it is about the same polys. The fur textures are in 1k resolution.

I made two variants of the boars as there are in game, although as explained before, they all have the same size, and only their texture changes:
- Brown boar
- Grey boar

You will find them varied as they do in the game already, keeping to vanilla, yet changing their models and textures to these.

It is possible I make changes to these in the future, plus perhaps adding a config option for those who want more size variations.

Compatibility
This addon should be compatible with any other mods that do not change the textures or models of boars. This means, this addon will be compatible even with addons that change scripts and configs about boars. As the only files changed are the .ogf of the boars, the .thm of boars and the .dds of the boars. It is okay to add mid save and also delete mid save, as it only edits the meshes and textures.

Installation
Use MO2 to install, as it will be easier and the mod has a FOMOD installation. However if you do not wish to install through that, go one by one on the folders, dropping the contents of their gamedata folder into your own gamedata folder. Choose only ONE of the texture options.
