This HUD is intended to allow users of Kinzart Kreatures avatars to control the expressions of their avs without using the resource-intensive OEM HUD. If you've ever gotten a warning at a club or mall telling you your av is using too many resources, this HUD may help bring your usage down to a more acceptable level while still allowing you to control your av's expressions. Older KZK avatars will see the most significant improvements in resource usage, but the newer avatars will still see minor performance improvements by using this HUD (as well as replacing the repetitive clicking needed to cycle expressions with quick, one-click controls). However, this HUD is not intended to entirely replace the original HUD for your av, as it does not include configuration options (such as eye color) or some of the more rarely used controls (such as for paws/fingers).
This HUD is for the KZK Tiger v3. Please ensure that you have selected the correct HUD for your avatar before purchase and use.
Resource usage for Original HUD vs Expression HUD
Memory usage/Script count/Script time in microseconds, measured at idle. Lower numbers are better.
Fox: 3264kb/51/57 vs 64kb/1/1
Husky: 4368kb/69/88 vs 64kb/1/1
Leopard: 3664kb/64/75 vs 64kb/1/1
Tiger v3: 208kb/4/6 vs 64kb/1/1
Wolf v2: 1472/23/24 vs 64kb/1/1
This is almost perfect
I was meaning to do something along these lines myself to try and shrink down the enormous KZK HUD.
I've used the head from the KZK tiger for my avi for quite some years now, but having to use their HUD which includes things such as colour configuration for everything and things like finger positions means it's quite a monster, especially if you only need a fraction of what it has to offer.
This solves it beautifully. It's neat, you get - and I love this - one touch access to every individual expression, rather than having to cycle through everything, and it's small enough to sit unobtrousively on your HUD. Even open it's not that big.
If I had any gripes at all, and this is being picky, I wouldn't have said no to an eye dilation control, as I use that as part of different expressions on this head quite a bit. It feels like the only thing that's really missing from an expression hud.
Less important, but maybe also retaining the switch for the ear-twitch. That's very subjective though, and I really don't consider these make-or-break points.
Overall though, excellent. I've been meaning to do something like this for a long time, and I don't think I'd have done anything like as neat a job. Really well done.
