Notecard copypasta:
Hey, guys! Thanks for checking out the Fennex 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.

Good head
It is a nice head and also its ears are very cute. But the applier creation system is not very convenient for me. Also frustrating is the problem with alpha layers when applying a new texture every time. And the need to load texture for eyelash, tears, etc. to avoid empty textures in the applier is also not very convenient for me. I bought two different heads from this creator and both had similar inconveniences. But visually I like these heads, they are really good and cute.
Great head with old issues
Its a really well designed and cute looking head , offering a lot of nice options.
But there is one thing that you sadly have to discover at every new SG head over and over again:
the alpha problems. It's really annoying to deal with. Lashes , eyebrows and so on. It's really frustrating needing to fix your head after each new skin you apply. Some visible improvement in that case would be nice to notice.
No complaints, fantastic bento head!
Seriously, this is easily my favorite head in SL. No lag problems, great support via Discord, and is so much fun to use that it not only inspired me to make my own character in SL but it's inspiring me to download Blender right now & try out 3D modeling!
The shape is perfect for any small canine and there are already tons of absolutely gorgeous mods out there for it. Don't be like me who hems and haws over mod purchases, if you think this looks like what you want then it definitely is!
Adorable ♥
I love this head, perfect for my smaller characters. The ears meshed onto the head are fantastic and I for one am very glad for a no neck version. I know its a pain in the ass for the creators to do but, I still really appreciate they offered it! Looking forward to more down the road! ♥
Talented. Brilliant. Incredible. Amazing. Show Stopping. Spectacular.
Starting to feel like this creator is upping their game with every release. The animations? Wonderful. The head? Seamless. The support and even resource sharing within their Discord? Great!
I love that there are different options for the head, including one with and without a neck it makes working with it even easier especially as someone who sells mods. The fact that they even include their own PSD with several UV maps and everything organized nicely is so lovely of them.
I am genuinely excited to create and update things for this head, as well as to see what others do with it and I look forward to more from this store
