GENUS Project Baby Face Bento Head & Classic Bento Head v1.4 Updates

On November 20th, the Genus Project team did a major update and finally took their Genus Bento head out of beta. There are a lot of changes that I want to cover so bear with me as I go through it all.

Decoding Names of the Genus Bento Heads

Now there is more than just one Genus Project bento head. So far they have fully released two: The Classic and the Baby Face. The classic is the original head that they had released as a beta. They have announced the release of two more heads, that they will be releasing soon: Strong Face and Strange Look. Click over to take a look at the chart on their Flickr which helps you decode their names. I’ll also embed it below:

In this blog post, I will be showing the Baby Face W001 Head. The shape that I released for the Genus Beta head is the shape I use for the Classic W001. I will be releasing another shape today for the Baby Face W001 head.

• Customer Service Questions: If you have any questions about this head, it would be best if you looked at the designer’s profile, their name is GenusProject Resident, to see how they prefer to be contacted for customer service issues as I will probably not be able to assist you with that. You can also join the GenusProject inworld group to get news, updates, and assistance from the other group members.
