My new viewer has been creating a monstrosity out of my beautiful bento head

*prepare to be disturbed by the snapshot*

I wear a Vista Diana head, and it's really lovely. Yesterday this zombie-like ugliness happened (see snapshot). Why?

I've been having all sorts of problems in-world ever since uninstalling Firestorm so I could try other alternative viewers, settling on Alchemy. This is one of them.

I don't have a solution, but you don't have to uninstall a viewer in order to use another one.  In fact, having multiple viewers (at least the standard LL viewer and your favorite third party viewer) is a good idea, because it provides a useful troubleshooting tool.

Does the head still look ok on Firestorm?
Do your friends see the head looking broken too? Check which viewers your friends are using when they tell you what they see.

Right-click on your avatar, locate and choose ReSET SKELETON AND ANIMATIONS. Some AOs and animations that also have facial animation designed for a different head will do this. It's not the viewer.

Have you changed shape? If this is an updated head and you use your previous shape it may create a problem.

Try the shape that came with the updated head.

Did your alpha layer drop off by accident?

Another thought - do you only see the head look melted like that when you are up at a high altitude?
That problem will happen on any viewer & to some extent it depends on how the head is created how bad the effect will be but it's actually an old problem that's just more apparent with Bento since all the extra bones were added.

Did you go out and have one too many sherbets? 
Joking aside have you tried using a brand new copy of the head you should be able to get a re-delivery at the store you got it from or from the original packing if it's still in your inventory
