From Japan to SL

Following the last article, I searched smiling faces. In the GENUS free set, there are 46 kinds of facial expressions in the HUD and 17 animations through direct commands. Unfortunately, most of them are strange faces that I would not use. There are only these that can be called “smile”.




Different from a sleeping face that is kept still, most of the expressions are momentary. Nobody would notice since I am dancing almost always, if not few people look at my face closely. It would be useful only for taking self-portraits like these.




I looked smiling faces with Bento on the Internet, but I found not many. Someone asked where to find a nice smiling face in SL. The two below are super. The cheek shape and texture are also modified. It may be some lag to change texture, so it could cause gray face while switching faces.




This is my normal face. It could help to reduce the ungenial feeling by applying some facial expression. But this free set has many bugs, in addition to the strange face and slant eyes that I introduced before, the face will not return to the original after face expression or the tongue stays in the lips after sticking out.




Facial expressions with the classic avatar. There is not so much progress even the Bento came. But this is discernibly avatar look. As to be expected, Bento looks real and has some personarity,either for the better or for the worse…
