An alternate mesh for Arvak that makes his fire darker and more blue-colored. Should be compatible with Arvak texture replacers and stat/ability changes.

Changelogs
Version 1.0
Initial upload.
This mod replaces one file (the Arvak mesh, meshes/actors/dlc01/horse/character assets/soulcairnhorsebone.nif). Color gradients used in the fire and some of the specular and emissive color values were changed from vanilla for a darker, spookier look.
This mod should be compatible with any mods that alter Arvak's textures or in-game statistics. If you have another mod that replaces Arvak's mesh, you could try overwriting that mod's mesh file with this one; I think this should work fine in the majority of cases, but if a mod changed the texture mapping it's possible it could look strange in-game. Let me know if this happens and I can look at a patch.
A consistency patch is available to recolor the fire from Exalderan's excellent Arvak Burning Hooves Restored as well. The patch needs to be added on top of Arvak Burning Hooves Restored to work correctly.
The last few pictures also use PraedythXVI's Soul Cairn retexture; I highly recommend it! If you want to use it together with this mod, please make sure to overwrite that mod's Arvak mesh with this one.
