    Manu Mysterious,Add the Eyes Alpha to your eyes you forgot to add it.. They are not OLD heads,they were all just updated to V2.0.any  eye concerns that were bugged, were fixed.  Please see me inworld for your  concerns,I am happy to help. Genus already has a complete separate animation hud that works with all heads while Genus explores new animations for the head. Also the Morph Preset head is 3700. The Mega fat pack was every new skinFair Morph release product offered at a special price if you wanted to purchase everything. I have seen many confuse the price of this thinking a single head was this cost.

     

    I had them worn... and I had a convo with the support already, which I will not publish here but the recommendation was. Wear the anim hud from previews heads. Like I said, its all about the personal taste and for me the animation haven't changed only the heads...if the blinking animation is new, this is fine, I didn't complain about. And I got everything, all their skins and all heads. 

    Sad????

    Anyone know how to take a "sad" pic with your avatar? I saw some poses on MP but your face stays the same. Is there a way to make it look like your av is sad or even crying?

    Sure, there are some face anims like this for e.g.. You can find also some animated mesh tears or you can use a Tears BOM layer over your face....depends on what you like.

    New Body: Legacy Bombshell.

    So, has anyone bought the new Legacy Bombshell Body? I tried the demo, and it's okay. The breast seems nice but still needs some work. To me, it's more of a Reborn mock-up. Again, this is another body for the over saturated market. I will still be sticking to classic. Thoughts?

    Yes, I did waste my Lindens on it but haven't had the time yet to check it out because I did waste my time and Lindens first on the magical Genus Morph 4k head and helped someone with the set up.

    Ya know, I just got a redelivery of the regular Legacy to see the difference between it and the bombshell.  All I have to say is that I'm so glad I moved on from Legacy.  That HUD was a royal PITA.  I tossed the whole thing in frustration.  Sorry, not sorry.

    You know what, I have had similar problems but there is a guy who published a nice tutorial how he set up the body whin few mins. There are some menu buttons are very hidden and to find them out its like if you would play Lotto. I did it and it worked but I will neither become a fan of the hud. *giggles

    Please don't get me wrong, for me the magic about the Genus head didn't work perfect and after consultation one of the support members was the recommendation, use the animation hud from other heads. So don't keep my experience as gossip. 

    To be fair I will publish here what Anna Genus wrote in Flickr about her new release: 

     

    This is a completely new system based on the Genus Head version 2.0, has a completely updated HUD, textures and materials. We have simplified the functionality and also added a small calm face animation with blinking to this hud. In the future, we plan to supplement the head kit with a separate hud with animation settings, typing, voice etc. (currently, Animation HUD version 2.0 are working with Genus Morph). We decided to abandon the creation of animations and fully immerse ourselves in our true sphere - 3D and 2D design. Therefore, we are open to suggestions for collaboration and the release of a universal facial AO under your brand.

    We have kept the work of the old appliers, as well as the head UV was not affected, so all textures ever created fit perfectly. I can talk a lot about this head, but I think you just need to at least see it and try it, it's magical.

    I know only from the past that they had the following recommendation: 

    IMPORTANT! As fixing eyes process and transferring rig to another bones set, skinning (weight) has been done from scratch (it's always done by hand). It's impossible to draw weight equally on two heads. That is why weight on the upper part of the head is a bit different from what the previous version (it can be seen now with a slight difference in shape). I have fixed everything you asked me to: to do a new skinning and redo the rig (rig to a new set of bones)and this is the one and only way to fix eyes issue you've been talking about. Mind that it is a very difficult process, it's not like taking a mesh and move it a little bit in a 3D program. That's why PLEASE, don't pay this much attention to it. We can solve this issue only two ways: return the old rig with eyes from the last version or use a new one with a good rigging and skinning and everybody is happy. Thank you!

    On the other hand, you pay 7,5k for three different head shapes which honestly are not useful in my opinion, because you can morph your head in an Oval, Triangle or Square shape...In meanwhile were brought out several deformer for some head parts like for the nose e.g..... What makes me unhappy is, that they now recommend after you have bought the complete package that you have to use the animation hud from older heads. For those who use it the first time, they will have to tp to their store, pick up a free head from the past as group member of course. 

    And when I would continue, the best 4K skin of what they offer now is the GIA skin, all others look like old versions...but maybe I am blond and have no clue. But for me LeLutka is more handy, nicer face animations. Actually they brought out a new head, called sugar for the half price in a combination offer with the new Legacy pinup body. But it is all a question of personal taste. I will stick with LeLutka and Reborn.

    Update: 

    Meanwhile I had a kind conversation with one member of their support team. Result: You have to use the face animation from older heads. Well its up to you to pay 7.5K for a Megapack of three heads and no well working face animation, what force you to use the face animations from older heads. This important point was missing in the whole advertisement story.

    grammatic issue

    GENUS Morph 4k Head and their face anims. 

    A review about the package what you can/could buy at the skin fair of the year. The mega package includes 3 different head types like Oval, Triangel and Square. Several addons like ear-, lip, eye, nose styles...For those who have trouble with building an unique head shape might it be helpful. Is it a must have? I don't know, in my opinion not really, but its only my personal taste. 

    What I would like discuss is the face animations. For my taste they are not really well done, my avatar rolls the eyes like she would be high.
    https://gyazo.com/1e2b34f5abe44a3bb1f6662256cdc94c
    The eye position is set to normal, the eye size also, the eyes are normal open. This is the look when the head is not animated.
    https://gyazo.com/31f2b751a24dceb552a52bc9916f5b96

    The anims are not really friendly and I don't know why they haven't added selectable single animations. In my opinion is the head useless, especially for blogger but like I mentioned, my two pennies to this topic. At the end the head is too expensive for that what is really important and missing. In my opinion GENUS needs to improve this because LeLutka is much better in regard of the face anims. What is your opinion about?

    Yeah I thought the same but I googled her today and I think we are wrong...

    When you change things on your avatar the changes do not save until you save as an outfit or successfully log off. Firestorm for some time would silently crash during log off. So often changes were not saved.

    Changes to items, like a color change, often are not saved until the item is taken off... or thinking another way... sent back to inventory. So outfit saves and log offs may not always work as expected.

    When I change the color on a dress or clothing item I change the original item, which I never wear except to setup an outfit. I wear the original and change it as needed. Then I take it off/detach, then make a copy and save it in an appropriately named  folder, and then wear the copy. Which is the version that gets saved as part of the Outfit I save.

    I know Nalates, but when you crash its not your choice. That's why I make backup folders with outfits of the actual avatar, because I am lazy....but when I crash before I am completely done with it...I am f........d up! *laughs But thank you for your explanation, I really appreciate that. And this should be said, that's why our inventories will grow and grow till they will explode *laughs
