Expressions Update v1.2

Hi all,

Just had an update to my Expressions pack1! It was delivered for free to all those who had purchased in the past.

**Update v1.2 What's New**
-Now includes an ALT (alternate) Expressions HUD made for heads with bigger lips such as *LightStar Guinevere, Maya, and Makeda. Minimize Button added on HUD.
-Now includes Gestures for all 27 (+alts) facial poses!
-Face Idle Animation HUD added!
-Updater Box added.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This is a pack of 27 different facial poses, gestures, and Face Idle Animations. They work with any of the available *LightStar Mesh Heads. Not guaranteed to work on other Bento heads, but you can try for yourself and see.

The Expressions HUD contains static Face Poses, great for screenshots. The HUD must be worn to play the animations.

The gestures use SL typing triggers in local chat that play a short animation of the facial pose, then stop. The gestures are mod so you can change the triggers if you wish.

The Face Idle Animations are subtle random animations to make your avatar look more alive. This is a HUD that must be worn to play the animations. It can be worn on top of your other body AO's, as long as they do not use bento face animations.

You can test out the animations in my shop to see if they'll work for you

Skin Dev Kit

If you do make any skins, I'd love to see what you come up with so please let me know! You can also post any pics to the *LightStar flickr group here: www.flickr.com/groups/2925388@N21/

Bento Mesh Heads Update v1.3

Hi all,

I just released a new update! If you have purchased one of these heads you get the update for free! Just drop your Update Rezzer on the ground and it should be delivered to you. Any problems with receiving it just IM me!

 

 Demos at my shop in world, here:   

maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dixieland%20Downs/61/78/21

Or on the Marketplace:

Males:

Robin
Apollo
Lei


Females:

Marian 

Athena
Lin

 

What's New:

 -Newly redesigned HUD! All 5 skin colors, Hair Base, and Extra Layer options are combined into 1 HUD with tabs to switch between the different options.
 -Head, Extra Face, and Hair Base layers have also been combined into linked object.
 -Avatar Complexity Cost is now much lower for all mesh parts.**Note that the demos are still MUCH higher than the full version's complexity cost.
 -More tweaks to rigging. Namely, nose bridge and eyes along with some other minor adjustments.
 -Updated Face textures. More detail around the eyes mostly on the females, along with some makeup updates(added blue eyeshadow). Males now have nicer looking eyebrows and improved shading.
 -Updated Eye textures.
 -Added a HUD button to Apply Body skin for Omega Enabled mesh bodies.
 -Added a HUD button under the Extras tab to apply the default mouth and teeth texture. This is beneficial if you're using an omega skin and the mouth doesn't look so good.
 -Small changes to the default shapes.

Bent Mesh Heads Update v1.2

Hi everyone, I just made another update for the 4 heads I have out for sale!

This update improves the rigging and shape sliders of the heads and fixes a few misc. bugs. Try them out again at my in world shop!

Bento Mesh Heads--Update v1.1

So the other week I released an update to my mesh heads!

 If you've tried the demo before with OMEGA appliers, please try it again, I've fixed some things to make it look even better!

 Available at my shop in world (along with the OMEGA installer):
 maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dixieland%20Downs/61/78/21

Or on the Marketplace:
Athena
Marian
Robin
Apollo

What's new: 
 *5 Basic Skin Tone HUD's are now included, and there is just 1 Head vendor. The Fantasy color skins will be sold in a separate add on applier pack(you can test them all out in the Demo version).

 *Neck Blender options on the HUDS. You can choose from 6 different sizes and also a "white texture" for the neck to tint and blend better with your skins.

 *Omega--now there is a dedicated Omega version of the head. This fixes a few problems that came up with the UV's stretching oddly. Note that ALL mesh parts have omega installed in them, just that the ones labeled "OMEGA" are prefered.

*Heads are now Mod! Yep, that's right! All the mesh parts now come with both copy and mod permissions! So that way you can customize your head even more!

Be warned though, if you're going to mod, make a copy first!! You can break the scripts for the HUDS, even causing them to delete themselves, so mod at your own risk!

Why am I making them mod? --Basically everything I've ever sold in my store has been copy+mod. Because I always want my customers to be able to customize as much as they want, because that's also what I want when I shop for items in Second Life. The biggest draw to SL is that you can build your own worlds and avatars, just how you like them!

*The price has changed to 2k per head to reflect all these changes. Not a big increase, but considering the sheer amount of time I put into this, well I hope it won't deter people away. All existing customers will be getting an update!

Project Bento is now official!

Yay, it's finally released in the official Second Life viewer! 

You can test out my own original mesh heads by demoing them here on the Marketplace or at my Shop In World!

Bento Mesh Heads Released!

I'm proud to announce I finally have released my own original Mesh Heads! 

 There are 4 to choose from (2 male, 2 female), and they are BENTO enabled. That means there are skeleton bones for the faces so they can have real animations! That also means less lag and lower avatar cost because there are less prims involved!

 You do need to use a Bento Enabled Viewer to use them however. Right now there is an official Release Candidate Viewer located here which you can download:
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers
  10 different skin colors available for purchase: Pale, Peach, Tan, Dark, Light Gray, Dark Gray, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Light Green, Light Purple
 Each pack comes with:
• A HUD to change your eyebrows, lip color, nose shading, and other different parts of your face or makeup depending on male/female.
• Hair Bases & HUD to change color and hair base style(these color match all *LightStar hair styles)
• An Extra Face Layer along with HUD where you can use color tinted eyebrows, eyelashes, etc.
