/!\ Warning /!\
Please see this list of appearance editor sliders that work and dont work before you consider buying this head https://utilizator404.wordpress.com/2018/06/06/bento-for-dummies/
Also please note that since this head is rigged mesh, you cannot resize and position it to fit your hair like you could with M3, and because of that it can look really weird with some hairs and fine with others. You just need to find the right hair.
This head is only compatible with texture mods specifically made for M3 Venus and M4 Venus heads.
======================================
You wanted it, you got it ! The M4 Bento Venus head is here! and now you can be one of the cool kids are riding the bento craze wave.
- What is Different from the other M4 heads ? -
Unfortunately, there are no alternative nose or eye socket shapes, but as a tradeoff the head is backwards compatible with M3 Venus appliers and retains the M3 tear effect!
you now have full compatibility with old M3 Venus appliers (skins, eyes, brows, lashes, blush, tears) as well as M4 Venus appliers, however because of this specific compatibility, other M4 and M3 head skins that were not made specifically for the venus head, will not work with the M4 Venus. One thing to note is that mouth uses M4 mouth textures instead of the mouth included on the M3 Venus skins.
As mentioned before, this particular head has the tears option, you can access it through the blush button by clicking it repeatedly till it switches from blush mode to tears mode. Due to a technical limitation regarding alphas, switching on tears, sets the eyelash texture to alpha masking in order to not clash with the tear alpha, this degrades the quality of some eyelash textures. One interesting thing we noticed very late into development is that for whatever reason that same alpha clash bug is not happening between the blush layer and tears, we will look into why this is happening (or more like, why its not happening) and hopefully we can implement tears in other M4 heads. A separate HUD button for tears will be implemented with future updates but for now if you wanna have both and you know what youre doing, first turn on tears and than unhide the blush using SL's build menu.
The default eye size setting is now size 2, if you make the eyes bigger in the appearance editor, use eye size setting 1 in the M4 HUD to match it.
The Rikugou necks will apply Rikugou skin tones to the rest of the head if you select a skin from the HUD, light skins will apply Rikugou A tone, dark skins Rikugou B
the LL/normie neck will apply its own tone to the head as well for the medium skin tone, matching the medium LL skin tone from the appliers included in the bonus item box.

My hud is broken
My head hud disappeared and I can't get it to appear again, I equip/unequip. nothing
There is literally not a single bad thing about it.
It is mod, it is very well made, the construction is miles above every single mesh head out there, including heads that cost 10 times as much.
The Eyes!
Feels way less customizable than the M3 not to meantion how the eyes are basically static no matter what slider you use even though its "bento" and the eyelids clip with the eye itself.
Conclusion, pick the M3 Venus over this any day.
Sadly didn't read enough.
So the head, let me start is awesome. However i must of only skimmed through what the post said cause i thought it said support for fitted torso. However to my surprise almost every body but that one is supported. Guess i saw the fact soo many bodies where supported i just assumed fitted was to, i came to equating regular kemono with fitted as they go hand in hand so well together. My only real complaint with this head is there isn't enough support, but that's just getting petty now. Anyways good job on the head and thanks for reading.
Oh and P.S to anyone still reading that may of made the same mistake, you can sorta remedy it by using the ll/normie neck.The head works fine, it's just the neck that is the problem. It's just barely not big enough to cover so you have a gaping whole or your neck clips into your head when not using a neck.
almost perfect
I bought and used the m3 and m4 heads along with the kemono, but there's something only to suggest for it to really make it perfect, is eyelid positions. I use the m4 head and would really like to take better photos' with more life, like an eye hud poses/animation. What i mean would be lets say happy, If the bottom eye lids lift up a little, it would bring more life into the face, or sadness, there would be more slant on the top eyelids. Even the anime/cartoon like happy eyes, like closed eyelids, but the other way up. Also the suggestion from a previous comment, being able to do neither, one or both of blush and/or tears would be awesome also. As much as i love the heads, they are more doll/puppet like than anything atm, with little options to choose from. The head has great big eyes which is beautiful, it would be great to put more life into them (maybe the brow positions too "^^). <3.
