Face Pose HUD
****************************************
This HUD will enable you to pose/animate your mesh/bento head.
You can move lips, tongue, eyes, eyelids, brows, open mouth and cheeks.
By combining the poses, you can create different expressions from goofy, happy, silly, sad, erotic, naughty, drunk, insecure and what ever you can think of.
You can use it for photo-taking, role-play or just for creating an expression or feeling on your face.
If you wish something that is not in here, you are welcome to contact me.
1. How to use the HUD:
Add the HUD. It will attach on your screen at the right side.
You can move the HUD as needed or attach to other areas of your screen.
2. To activate face pose:
Click any of the white circles or eyes to animate that part of your face.
There is 22 areas (see the 12 columns at the top and 10 columns further down) to put into a pose. Each area has a top-Icon showing what part of the face it will move. The placement of the Circle, indicates how much and direction your face-part will be moved, so you can quickly find the best position. Even some tweaking often is needed.
By selecting different poses in different columns, you are able to create different expressions like happiness, surprise, love, playfulness and so on.
3. To see what animations are active:
A red circle will show you what animations are active on each area.
4. To stop:
Click the active (red circle) to stop the animation.
You can also click "Stop All" or detach the HUD to stop all poses.
****************************************
Trouble shooting:
****************************************
- The HUD works with Mesh heads, except the eyes works with all avatars.
- Your Mesh head needs to have animations enabled. (Some basic heads does not have animations activated).
- If a pose wont work, or wont stop, then try clicking menu > Avatar > Avatar health > Stop Avatar Animation & Revoke Permissions.
or
menu > Avatar > Avatar health > Undeform Avatar.
Click the HUD again.
If the animation still does not play or wont stop, then please contact seller.
- Sometimes a Mesh Head HUD's animation cycles will override a pose. For example "talking" animations. If, then re-click the pose in the FACE Pose HUD and it will again override any other pose running. You can also temporary disable your HEAD HUD's animations if you want full control over your face pose.
NOTE:
If you have turned off the MESH head's animations, it can seems like the HUD's animations wont stop again.
It should be fixed soon, but until then, you can:
- Start/stop a fairly neutral animation from the HUD
- Firestorm Menu: Avatar > Avatar health > Undeform Avatar
Contact seller if you experience other issues.
Thank you in advance. :-)

It works
But before you use it with a Genus head, I advise you to take a copy of it. Detaching this hud will put your face in a sort of 'surprised letterbox' pose that nothing else but re-attaching this hud will fix. As you can't minimize this thing, that's a bit of a drag.
But yeah. It works.
Perfectly working tool and must have for even amateur photographers.
A great HUD that works much easier and more intuitive than the pictures suggest. Someone else already mentioned the fine tuning of the eyes.. Yes, a 'halfway' option would be nice. Also, presets... That would make me use it even outside of a photo setting, especially if we could 'play' them in a timed sequence. Some way to store an expression for future use or everyday 'debugging' of parts such as eyes. Genus owners know what I mean...
However, a well deserved 5 star rating after taking the price into account.

Instead of buying poses this is great for someone who wants to save a bit of linden and create their own stuff! Thank you for making this! The only complaint I would have and it's the reason why there are only 4 stars is the lack of fine-tuning. The eyes only go left, right, up, down, etc... No "a little to the left, but more centered" if that makes sense at all. Which was something I was hoping to have in this HUD as there was a close-up picture I had in mind... All in all the HUD isn't a bad investment, and it takes some playing with to figure out what combinations work out to achieve what you desire, but if I had only one suggestion... Is that if it is possible in the next update that the fine-tuning would be offered - not just in the eyes, but the HUD as a whole. Mouth, Tongue, eyebrows, etc. Otherwise, GREAT PRODUCT! Thank you so much for making this!
Absolutely loving it!
(received as a gift) I recently bought a bento body that had a few, limited facial animations. A friend of mine bought this for me and I'm loving it!! The only downside (echoing another reviewer) is not being able to save expressions. But honestly, a small gripe when this saved me from spending 1500L on another hud that does the same thing.
MUST BUY
If you do photos, then you MUST BUY this. It's better than I expected!
The only way it could be better, is if you could save the facial expressions you create.
Good
It's a great job, although I was tempted to score with 4 stars since the poses are stuck and do not coincide much with the head I use; but taking into account the diversity of head models that exist and how tedious it is to make poses, I still think this HUD is a great job and at a very good price. Thank you!
