<Yabusaka> Petite 3 Female Mesh Avatar

I like the av but I cannot seem to get any omega to apply onto the hands and feet. Even after purchasing the omega kit and trying to follow its steps. Also I wish there was a rigged hand included so I didn't have to get the same (pricey) new bento ao's as everyone else. Otherwise it's a solid av.

She's just adorable, and the Bento is lovely. I wish this didn't say it were a fairy, because it doesn't come with fairy/elf ears--and the enclosed ears don't seem to be modifiable via the sliders?--and it's disappointing that I can't have big fairy ears.

Honestly, I already have a v2 Petite avatar. I just wanted to support them in their venture into Bento with this purchase. I'm pleased with the advances so far. As noted in another review, the blinking is removed. There is no expression HUD, so your avatar lips will always be partly open, unless you contort the face somewhat. This is not a problem until you want to modify your skin color. Then the unusually colored teeth can be distracting. I expect, once more animators get on board with Bento, we will see new expression HUDs. I enjoyed being able to customize my avatar into something closer to realistic human proportions. I would like to see a means to change their skinny arms and the thickness of the legs, but I must wait longer for this. I was, for the most part, very happy. A little disappointed the chin was not modifiable in its depth and protrusion. The ears are modifiable, which is great. I can edit them for the width of the avatar's skull however I please. The inclusion of a simple AO was very much appreciated. Because most AO's right now are not designed for Bento, the fingers stick straight. What I do to resolve this is turn on the Yabusaka AO long enough for the fingers to curve where I want them, then turn it off. This sets the fingers for any older AO. This mesh loads very quickly on both my PC and my laptop, and it has good detail at distance. This is the same charming skin Yabusaka has offered in their other products, with unrealistic "fairy" eyebrows and great skin definition. Omega ready! This was perfect. I'm still waiting for Yabusaka to update their mesh clothing template before I venture further into making clothing. The female clothing template still cuts into the back of their avatar's left shoulder near the neck. Any clothing you make using this mesh will leave your avatar with a bare patch of skin. Now you know why Petite female avatars prefer long hair. ;) Seriously, though, this is an excellent product and certainly worth my Ls.

What I was disappointed with:
I thought for sure that we would have moving lips by now for when we talk.. Especially being that its a bento mesh head. We don't blink anymore either? I noticed the eye movements.. but no blinking. One more thing -
Though this is more of a personal preference than anything wrong with the avatar.. I was hoping that there would be an alternative lower body for those of us that have anthro/animal legs or hooves. (Just below the knee is what I typically try to hide and be rid of to fix my avatar as a neko.)
I know that there is an alpha hud to use, but even with an alpha hud I see the invisible parts of the legs when trying to take pictures. Its just slight enough that I can still see where the legs used to be.

Now for the good stuff:
You can adjust your nose, eyes, mouth, and jaw to give a more unique look to your face.
The fingers move just like the vista hands do for my normal size avatar. I've also added what worked from the vista bento ao to my own petite ao so that my fingers move now and then while standing and such.
And for those that have all those omega appliers sitting in inventory for your normal size avis.. Guess what? They work on this one! *bounces around all happy* Makeup, nails, skins..*smiles* it all worked on mine.
And my clothing - All that clothing from my last yabusaka avi still fits. Yay!

Hopefully in an update we could have a bit more? Please? I really would like to have the lower body given an option for fixing the issue with alpha-ing out the legs.. and moving lips. I don't care if big avis don't notice my lips moving. I'm the one that looks at my avi more than they do for those fine details I like.

avatar wont load properly, is horribly deformed no matter what viewer I use. waiting to hear from creator for help then can hopefully have a working avi and upgrade the review. *fingers crossed*
