Reese Wicken Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) I own two Catwa heads and a Genus head, my heads are becoming impossible to shape right for me, and I can never get my Genus one to look just right either, with Genus still closed (as far as I know), Who would y'all reccomend? I plan to go through the stay at home group and see what's new later. edit BOM & Omega heads make my life easier. :3 Edited May 5, 2020 by Lavaliere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitimo Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I really like the free one from Dream. It's BOM-only and very basic but responds well to sliders and you can do a LOT with it. There's no animations and nothing inside the mouth so if you use a third party animator you'll need to steal the mouth parts from your Genus head. I'm using the animator from the free Altamura body which you can pick up at London City Soho. Some of the animations in it are pretty weird but there's a couple of cycles that look natural.

Clover Jinx Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Lelutka and LAQ are two worth looking at 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitteh Whiskers Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Laq has many many options and you can customize fairly easily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelenaNavy92 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 My first mesh head Is Lelutka Evolution Erin. It's the best thing I ever bought. And yeah, it responds very good to sliders. Try the demo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillith Hapmouche Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 It would be quite helpful if you showed a reference pic of what style you're looking for and what special part of its shape is so important to you. This is a bit like "name all the mesh heads you know" for a pretty broad search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a particular style I'm going for, I want something that uses less common sliders like jowls in the chin tab to edit the face shape.

Jowls do not react to sliders when using a mesh head. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Appearance_Editor_and_affected_bones Or do they? I don't think it worked with my head.

I feel they help shape the head and face a little. Ah well. To everyone else, I'll look into everyone you've suggested, I did grab the free stay at home club one.

Lillith Hapmouche Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Depending on the rigging, the double chin slider, jaw angle, width. cheek sunkenness and the general head width and shape might make up for a missing jowls rig. Lots of try and error, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaise Glendevon Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Laq is my personal favorite right now, and they have a wide variety of heads with different features. The only problem is that many skin designers either don't design for them or have a limited amount of skins for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
