Notecard copypasta:
Hey, guys! Thanks for checking out the Fennux head, I'm pretty happy with this one.
The HUD is standard and pretty easy to use, but I will say a few things:
-When you wear the head and HUD for the first time, please reset your skeleton and animations to prepare your av for a new bento head. Please also initialize your HUD by selecting a starting blink and jaw state.
- When applying a BoM skin to the head, SL likes to assign the skin an alpha channel, even though the file is 24bit TARGA?? An update will be released to fix this in a roundabout, scripty way but for now, set the base head mesh back to [alpha mode: none], on your own.
(edit the head, either while worn or rezzed, and use "select face" to select ONLY the right and left sides of the base head mesh, then set alpha mode to none like in the picture below) *image included in notecard*
Since a lot of us are moving to BoM only, it's going to be useful to know how to do this.
- When wearing the earless versions of the head, make sure the "animate the ears too!" options is turned off in the emotes tab of the HUD. The head ain't gOT NOT GOTDANG EARS, so turn it off, or else your head won't animate.
- If you need a dummy rig for the head, join the server and request one in the support channel! https://discord.gg/DAK8UfW
If you need any support at all, join the server for that too! https://discord.gg/DAK8UfW
(I will not respond to private messages in sl or on any other chat programs unless I ask you to do so. I will not accept friend requests from people I do not already know.)
FAQ
Q: Why does my head look super weird and deformed?
A: Wear the shape the head comes with and reset your skeleton and animations.
Q: Why do the shape sliders make my head look weird/some of them don't work at all?
A: The SL bento armature was intended for use with human faces only and getting a furry head to work with those sliders in a way that is not uncanny is a huge hassle. Can it be done? Yes. Will I do it? Probably not, but that's why I've created a demo.
Q. Why are parts of my head disappearing?
A: Please see the first chunk of text above; you need to set the base head to alpha mode: none.
Q: Why can't I open my mouth?
A: Turn the emotes off, they are priority 4 while the static anims are all priority 3.
Q: I've messaged you and left notecards but I can't get support!
A: I only offer support in discord. https://discord.gg/DAK8UfW
Q: What do I do if I don't have discord and I'm not willing to get it?
A: That's your choice and it's valid, but this is my choice and it is also valid.

No copy head
As noted in other reviews the standard head is no copy, needed to rez and unbox to find the default head not just the MASC version.
I may be dumb but I can't find the Normal head only mask
I can't seem to find the Normal version in the demo, or is this only for the MASC version?
Unpacker is broken due to permissions
The original non-masculine head has no-copy permissions.
This means that the unpacker cannot unpack the original head, unless the unpacker is rezzed on the ground and/or you manually grab the no-copy head out of the contents.
