/!\ Warning /!\
Please see this list of appearance editor sliders that work and dont work before you consider buying this head https://utilizator404.wordpress.com/2018/06/06/bento-for-dummies/
Also please note that since this head is rigged mesh, you cannot resize and position it to fit your hair like you could with M3, and because of that it can look really weird with some hairs and fine with others. You just need to find the right hair.
This head is only compatible with texture mods specifically made for M3 Venus and M4 Venus heads.
======================================
You wanted it, you got it ! The M4 Bento Venus head is here! and now you can be one of the cool kids are riding the bento craze wave.
- What is Different from the other M4 heads ? -
Unfortunately, there are no alternative nose or eye socket shapes, but as a tradeoff the head is backwards compatible with M3 Venus appliers and retains the M3 tear effect!
you now have full compatibility with old M3 Venus appliers (skins, eyes, brows, lashes, blush, tears) as well as M4 Venus appliers, however because of this specific compatibility, other M4 and M3 head skins that were not made specifically for the venus head, will not work with the M4 Venus. One thing to note is that mouth uses M4 mouth textures instead of the mouth included on the M3 Venus skins.
As mentioned before, this particular head has the tears option, you can access it through the blush button by clicking it repeatedly till it switches from blush mode to tears mode. Due to a technical limitation regarding alphas, switching on tears, sets the eyelash texture to alpha masking in order to not clash with the tear alpha, this degrades the quality of some eyelash textures. One interesting thing we noticed very late into development is that for whatever reason that same alpha clash bug is not happening between the blush layer and tears, we will look into why this is happening (or more like, why its not happening) and hopefully we can implement tears in other M4 heads. A separate HUD button for tears will be implemented with future updates but for now if you wanna have both and you know what youre doing, first turn on tears and than unhide the blush using SL's build menu.
The default eye size setting is now size 2, if you make the eyes bigger in the appearance editor, use eye size setting 1 in the M4 HUD to match it.
The Rikugou necks will apply Rikugou skin tones to the rest of the head if you select a skin from the HUD, light skins will apply Rikugou A tone, dark skins Rikugou B
the LL/normie neck will apply its own tone to the head as well for the medium skin tone, matching the medium LL skin tone from the appliers included in the bonus item box.

eyelids
I love the new head, it's so pretty! Except, the eyelids hide behind the eyes, so you can not close them and at blinking, you can only see the eyelashes. Is there anything to do?
its good but could use more
I really love the head and how any M3 venus textures still for for it. I love the more rang of facial expressions as long with a better eye control. Only thing I wish wasn't taken was being able to blush and have tears control separate since you can only have one of them on (not sure if theirs a way to control them seperetly) . Would be also nice to see a next option for the kemono fitted torso. other then that its a good head and a very great upgrade.
It continues to break for me
No matter what I do. The facial expressions break the mouth when I change the emote or If I use PA it stretches all out like it would if I just changed the animation from the hud. Kinda wish I could get my 600L back. I contacted support and never got any help OuO;

Lovely... but not compatible
I absolutely love the head and all of its features. Unfortunately, it's not compatible with the Fitted Kemono Torso by Starbright that I prefer to use with my Kemono body.
Every time I wear the kemono neck piece there is broken alpha area at the base of the neck on the torso. When I reset the alphas to fix it the neck piece function is reset as well. After several attempts, I decided not to wear the head for now.
I know a few people had the same issue with Rei's Chest as well. I'm hoping there will be a fix for this in the near future, but as they are third party modifications, I will understand if there isn't. Still... it's a lovely bento mesh head.
10/10
The head is looking great, the HUD got new options and better usability, but right now the main feature for me is the neck, which made connection with body really seamless (looks much better than without neck). It seem to have a problem with Rei's chest, but it's not really a problem because now I have an excuse for being flat.
