Types of Genesis Lab Heads
Bento Head (v3 ONLY):
For more information about The Bento Project in Second Life (in general), please see: About Bento.
- These heads are rigged to the new bone-enhanced skeletons (called the "Bento" release by Linden Labs). The new bones are now linked directly to the shape and thus the features of the bento mesh head can change based upon the shape setting sliders.
- These heads can now change expression through poses and animations made for the bento skeleton.
- The use of general bone-based animations, just like walking, sitting, standing, etc., eliminates the need for the "multi-mesh" (physical frame-based) method of "animation" (which is how the v2 Blinker Heads worked).
For more information about The Bento Project in Second Life (in general), please see: About Bento.
Blinker Head (v2 ONLY):
- These heads are not rigged to the bento bone enhancements and cannot be animated in the bone-movement sense.
- They have blinking eyes due to a linked "multi-mesh" (e.g. frame-based) show/hide method.
- You cannot change the way the face looks using any shape changes as they are not rigged to the bento skeleton.
- The expression of the face cannot be changed in-game (cannot open mouth, stick out tongue, etc.).
Static / Emotions Static Head (v1 and v2 ONLY):
- These heads are completely static, meaning that they do not blink, they are not animated in any way and cannot be changed by the shape as they are not rigged to the bento skeleton.
- The Emotions type heads are a single "multi-mesh" head that shows a static expression through the use of an Emotions HUD. The way these heads work is that the mesh head contains all of the different expressions as individual heads grouped together into one object, and the HUD simply makes a single head visible and the rest invisible for each emotion.
- There are also plain static heads in this category that are a single mesh item that contains only a single, non-blinking head in a single expression.
