Canine Avatars
Canines are the domesticated descentdants of wolves which did decide to stick with humans.
There is a rich variety of races available, which will slowly be expanded over time

Currently planned are the following variants:
- German Shepherd
- Dalmatian
- Golden Retriever
- Husky / Malamute

Reusing Shark Avatar Eyes
To reuse Shork Shark Eyes, Aries Toony or [SKS] HD ones in-world, equip (a renamed copy of) the eyes and apply the following settings in the “Object” tab:
| Eye | Settings | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Right | Position | <0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000> |
| Size | <0.06000, 0.06000, 0.06000> | |
| Rotation | <270.00000, 20.00000, 90.00000> | |
| Left | Position | <0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000> |
| Size | <0.06000, 0.06000, 0.06000> | |
| Rotation | <270.00000, 340.00000, 90.00000> |
Alternatively create boulders with the parameters stated above, download the eye-texture pack from the Shark avatar page, select the texture and apply the texture of your choice to the newly made eyes.
Remember to scale the texture for the eyes to horizontal 1 and vertical 2 - but you're welcome to experiment, rotating the texture might look funky!
