BrassRebel Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Could someone explain to me what Bento actually means? I've been out of sl for awhile, and I don't know if this means i will be needing to do a lot of updating for my avatar or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwin Alcott Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 there is a very usefull feature on these pages, it's called "search" https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Enhanced-Skeleton-Project-Bento/ta-p/2975160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 LL added "bones" to the SL avatar that allow mesh makers and animators more freedom to animate parts of the body that they never could before, such as fingers, and mesh heads. They can also make much more realistic furry and animal avatars too. Here is the official December announcement and more info about all this:https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Featured-News/Project-Bento-Live-on-the-Grid/ba-p/3084426 All avatars have them now but you must have Bento rigged mesh body parts or a body and bento animations to take advantage of this. This change was just introduced a short time ago and while there are some things out there you can buy, creators are still introducing a lot more options. So whether you take the plunge now or wait for a bigger and possibly better selection is up to you. Not everyone likes mesh bodies and heads so don't feel like you'll be the only one around if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassRebel Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Awesome, thanks for explaing it to me, trying to read what LL says confused me for a bit. x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Ristow Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 In addition to Amethyst's spot on description, I recommend playing with some bento demos to see if they feel right to you. You can get free demos for Vista's bento hands and for various Bento heads (LeLutka and Catwa being the two most popular currently). You can play around with the demos on your own character and see if you enjoy the products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martine1988 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Not fair. I try to read everything on the forum and whatever site people tell about there. But it is still hard. Found a place with 3 shapes for Bento. It looks great, got them. I understand the part the part that you need a Bentohead to look like the pictures posted. But I was dumb enough to think even without a Bentohead my ava would look great.... Well it looked really really stupid. People who start Sl and don't get Rezzing.... I understand... SL is hard at the start if you don't have the right help... Telling people who try to make their ava better to use search just doesn't help. No attack, just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
