Tala AO Bento
Released in 2021!

This is bento version of existing Tala AO.
It changes to anim file from bvh and some animations got better loop a bit smoothly^^

<please know>-------------------------------------------------
'Bento' here means that its animations move bento tail bones(tail1 - tail6).
it doesn't means this AO assumes to suit certain/most bento tails in market.
it is up to tail design/rig how it looks when it is used with your bento tail. Tail animation has only rotation keyframes and doesn't has bone location keyframes and bone translation.
So i ask you to try animations in my store with your tail and judge for yourself if they are acceptable.

After half a year of struggling, I bought this for the Riptide tail based on one of the customer reviews. It really works, so I can finally use the mesh mermaid tail too.
But I only found one ground‑sit animation in it — if anyone knows where the other three are hiding, send me a message :)

Works very well with Riptide tail.
All you have to do is to disable the built-in AO from the tail by clicking on your ass and getting the menu for it.
This AO is very very very good for Riptide tail.
Recommend it!

Really solid AO, my only complaint is animations are not sold as singles.

Only needed the ground walking animation out of this one.

Perfect For Riptide Tail

I've searched high and low for an AO that would work well with my Riptide tail and passed on this one for a while after reading reviews saying it doesn't work with the Riptide. After all, I've bought enough of them that actually don't work with it. But I saw a friend with a fantastic mermaid AO and asked where she got it. It was this one. So I bought it. Turns out it works perfectly with the Riptide. You just have to make sure you turn off the built in AO in the tail. Otherwise chaos will ensue. Five stars for a fantastic AO that does exactly what I wanted and looks beautiful doing it!
