~JJ~ Portrait Mesh Head ~ Audrey

Thank you for your interest in this ~JJ~ Portrait product from ~Jeanette's Joint~ and for your participation in what we do! I hope you find this product to be much more than just satisfactory.

These mesh heads feature selectable expressions (10 of them!) along with a talking animation that can activate when you type. This feature, along with the others, can be activated or deactivated at will.

The pack also includes smart lashes which can be optionally used to enhance your glamor! They will detect animation positions of the head and adjust accordingly for a seamless animated look.

Each Standard Size includes slight variations in the mesh shape to better represent the selected body image.

This package includes:
5 ~JJ~ Portrait Mesh Head DEMO objects (Standard Sizes)
1 Smart Lashes object
1 Brow and Bald Setter system hair
1 Head Menu gesture
1 Head Alpha clothing layer
5 Standard Size avatar shapes
1 DEMO System Skin to match!

This kit does *NOT* include: hair, eyes or other avatar accessories. You can use your own hair attachments just like you would with a system-based avatar. This product also uses system eyes so you can use your own eye layers (or prim-based eyes if you have them) just as you would with other avatars. Although this item comes with a default skin texture already applied to it it does not come with additional skins which can be obtained separately. Skin appliers are available from ~Jeanette's Joint~ which can be used to further customize the full version of product. A FREE developer kit is available for easy texturing or creating a product for you to use to distribute your own skins for the full version of this item!

Permissions on the full version mesh heads include Copy/Modify so you can tint the skin manually if you like or add your own effects. This enables you to manually apply a texture to the item as well. The DEMO version is copy-only and cannot be modified. Skins cannot be applied to the DEMO item using an applier like they can with the full version.

A note regarding neck/body seam:

A common inconvenience that occurs with mesh heads when used with system (and most mesh) bodies is the visible division between the head and the torso. Some designers employ blending prims or additional attachments that are supposed to reduce this effect but usually come at a cost in some other way. It may make it very difficult or impossible to get a good result with any skins other than those specifically made for those products. It could create an unsightly neck fold or seam. It may cause some other problems to arise. The reason the seam shows up in the first place is because the lighting model in Second Life applies lighting to each part of the body and those parts are sitting at different angles. It gets fairly technically complex, but the bottom line is there are advantages and disadvantages to any solution to this issue. The choice was made to keep the ~JJ~ Mesh Head products as simple and versatile as possible. This means that the division between the head and body is visible under some lighting conditions. If you are using the DEMO product right now (which you should always do before purchasing!) and this does not appeal to you, it will be just the same on the full product. Reducing this effect is something you would need to experiment with on your own. Under uniform lighting conditions and with matching skin textures, this is not an issue.

Thank you again for your interest in this ~JJ~ Portrait product. Come by ~Jeanette's Joint~ for a stunning array of skin textures for your avatar and your ~JJ~ Portrait Mesh Head (full version)!

Developers! Don't forget to pick up your applier kit so you can make your skins available in a safe and secure delivery system that is directly compatible with the ~JJ~ Portrait Mesh Head products. Distribute and sell your skins for these items without compromising your textures or UUIDs.

I hope you love the ~JJ~ Portrait Mesh Heads as much as I loved creating them!

~Love~
