Vista Lia Bento Mesh Head

Vista Animations entered the mesh head market by releasing their first female bento head last week. Her name is Lia and I find her to be rigged very well with a lot of versatility with the sliders so you can create many different looks with it. I have done a detailed video about Lia but first, here is some information about her:

• Price: The price of this head is currently L$2500 and the DEMO is free. Both are available on marketplace and the Vista mainstore. They also have a DEV Kit for this head available for L$1 at both the marketplace and mainstore.
• Omega Compatibility: This head is omega compatible, and you can use the same omega activation HUD they had for their hands. You just need to attach the HUD, activate the omega and then apply your omega skins and cosmetics to the head. You can pick up the Vista Omega kit on marketplace for L$99.
• Shapes, Brow Bases & Alpha layers: The head comes with 6 shapes and 2 brow bases. Brow bases are from YSYS & Avenge and the shapes are from 7 deadly skins, Avenge, YSYS and 3 from Vista. It also comes with 1 alpha layer which you must wear to hide your default SL head.
• Bento rigged & unrigged Eyes: The head comes with bento eyes that are rigged and also a couple of unrigged eyes that you can position yourself if preferred.
• Teeth: The head also comes with rigged teeth which you must wear with the head.
• HUDs: The head comes with two HUDs: the main HUD and the Personalize HUD.
  1. The Main HUD has 3 circular tabs which you can click to access all the different settings of the HUD:
     1. The Save Slots Tab lets you save 5 configurations of skins and cosmetics to access your favorite looks with just one click. There is also a tinting section in this tab which lets you tint all parts of this head including: skin, hairbase, eyeshadow, brows, lipstick, tattoo and lashes.
     2. The Skins and Cosmetics Tab comes with many options for skins, cosmetics and more:

     3. The Animations Tab comes with options for moods, expressions, blinking, talking, mouth positions, eye positions and more. More information about these below and I’ll also share the priority animation level for each section.

        2. Expressions: 24 expressions available with static options so you can take pictures of the expression. Expression animations have a priority level 2 and static animations have priority level 3.

• More Information: For more information about Vista Bento heads, click over to Vista’s website for a detailed post.
• Customer Service Questions: If you have any questions about this head, it would be best if you looked at the designer’s profile, his name is Vista Barnes, to see how he prefers to be contacted for customer service issues as I will probably not be able to assist you with that. You can also join the Vista Bento Head’s Friends inworld group to get assistance from the other group members that also own Vista products.
