The long awaited M3 Venus Anime Head is here!

Up until the first M3 prototype head for Rikugou, all anime heads on sl where just sculpted prim blobs with faces drawn on them, they didn't have eyes or mouths and most of the older ones used to be no mod, making them impossible to customize and match your avatar.

The M3 prototype was the first SL anime head ever to have real eyes that can look around and a mouth that can open. Even tho it was just a small preview of the possibilities of mesh heads and whats coming, it jump started an new age of SL anime avatars. Mesh gave us the power to do things that where simply not possible before.

This head is the direct successor to the M3 prototype, it features all the customization and expression options that you would come to expect from the M series heads, and greatly expands on them, also bringing plenty of new features to the table, giving you unlimited possibilities of what you can do with it. Features such as ability to create, save and load your own presets, setting your own eye color, the improved expression mixer from M2 giving you over 9000 possible expression combinations(im not shitting you, i did some math on the calculator multiplying the mouth expressions by the eyebrow and blush and tears and additional eye size and roll options in the settings HUD and stuff)the original M2 head only had like 64.

- Bonus items and customization -

The bonus items box contain textures, uv maps and templates for those of you who want to take your customizations one step further or make mods. There is also a neck for the rikugou avatar in case you wanna use this head with it.
Not everything can be changed through the HUD but some stuff you can change through edit mode, like for example the color of eyebrows and eyelashes. BTW Rikugou's eye textures work with this head too.

- known bugs -

A tiny problem with alphas, sometimes the base layer of the eye will not load fast enough and will be rendered on top of the texture layer, its annoying but theres a few easy fixes, one of them is just zooming in and right clicking the head and it fixes it. The HUD has the same problem, if you detach it while the options or presets menu windows are open and attach it again, the eye textures will be bugged, to fix it, hide and show the options and presets menus or right click the HUD.

Well that's that, have fun :3

I was able to load the textures into it, but it applies them to the face wrong. It's all smooshed down to the bottom half when I try. If I could get this to work I'd be very happy with it.

May be weird to ask, but is there any option to stop blinking with the eyes open? Like freezing eyes pose or something :D

I LOVE this head! The delicate features + Anime look, it's perfect for what I was looking for. Utilizator is good about updates too and more and more skin creators make skins for it (thankfully).

I bought this about 3 years ago and I'm still not disappointed with it. It's such a great head and I adore the expressions. I can't wait for a bento update to it, then it'll be even better!
