Vista Bento Hands & Tableau Vivant

Today I’m covering two different topics, first will be the Vista Bento Hands update for both females and males and second is Tableau Vivant skins, hair and hairbases.

Vista Bento Hands

Vista Animations released a beta version of their female bento hands back in October and after several months of testing, they released their final version in January. At the same time they had a bit of a preview of their male bento hands out and now their male bento hands are in beta. I have done a little video showing details about both the male and female hands but first here are some details about both:

Information about the female bento hands:

• Price: These costs L$999, available in both the vista marketplace store as well as their mainstore.
• Skins: The final version comes with preloaded Skinnery, Glam Affair and Akeruka skins. There have also been many updates to the hands since the beta like improved mesh, 3 tabs in the HUD, masking on tattoo and gloves, many more nail options and random hand animations to go along with any AO that you choose to use.
• Omega compatibility: These hands are omega compatibly, you just need to purchase the Vista Omega activation HUD from the marketplace and then activate it before you start applying omega layers onto your hands.
• Updates in final version: Improved mesh, tattoo and gloves masking, updated nails tab, new alpha sections, and finger animations to work with any standard non-bento AO.

Information about the male bento hands:

• Three versions: The male hands come in 3 different versions to coincide with the mesh body you choose to wear: SLink, Signature or TMP.
• Price: These costs L$999 each and are available in both the vista marketplace store as well as their mainstore.
• Omega compatibility: These hands are omega compatibly, you just need to purchase the Vista Omega activation HUD from the marketplace and then activate it before you start applying omega layers onto your hands.
• Skins: The SLink version, as listed on the marketplace, comes with two pre-loaded skins: Akeruka and Clef de Peau. The TMP & Signature versions come with three pre-loaded skins: Akeruka, Clef de Peau and Tableau Vivant. I am assuming the SLink ones will be updated with the Tableau Vivant skins as well in the final versions.
• Beta version: These hands are still in beta but already come with tattoo and gloves masking, detailed alpha cuts, updated nails tab, 12 static hand poses along with random hand animator and a separate fingers animator HUD that can also be worn to work with any standard non-bento AO.

Now watch my video which has more details about these hands: https://youtu.be/EXJkBcrOlpc

In the video I shared full details about the updated HUDs for both the male and female hands. I showed how to re-attach your old non-bento rings so you can wear them with your bento hands without any issues and I also showed how to activate the omega applier for the vista hands and then applied omega tattoos and nail polish to show you how it works. Full credits to items I used and applied in the video will be listed below the credits at the end of this post.

Tableau Vivant

Now I wanted to talk a bit about Tableau Vivant because they are putting out some amazing content.

Tableau Vivant released 3 wonderful skin appliers for Catwa male bento heads back in January and I have switched over to using the Fabian skin in tone 7 on my male avatar now. All three of these skins are available at the Tableau Vivant mainstore along with SLink and Signature body appliers, which are sold separately. Also as I mentioned above, the Signature vista hands come with the Tableau Vivant skins in the HUD.

Tableau has also been releasing same amazing hair and hairbases for women. The hair I’m using on my male avatar right now is also from Tableau Vivant, currently available at The Mens Dept.

The windswept hair you see in the images on my female avatar and the poses that I used with those hairs are all from Tableau Vivant, currently at the Arcade. The hairbase and braided buns that I am wearing on my female avatar in the video are currently at we love roleplay.

Check out Tableau Vivant’s flickr stream to see all of the current hairbases, hair and skins being released!
