Free(ish) Head Alert: Ash Davis

 

The gift version of this head is no longer available

Something for the guys! Hooray! Okay, technically, this isn't free. It's 1L, so almost free. Either way, guys don't get many full-featured freebies so I'm sure this will be welcomed. Here's what it comes with:

Eyes, a couple BOM skins, basic HUD, shape, and alphas. Very basic but will get the job done. Hud is pretty basic, more skins if you aren't using BOM, but I'm unsure which skin creator they'll match (I went straight to 7 Deadly Skins BOM skin (and forgot I had BOM hairbases on)):

I slapped it on top of Belleza Jake with it's included shape, and ignoring the tiny head syndrome (shape is editable), there's a bit of a problem in the eye area:

Something's up with that right eye. I tried out a few system eye alphas and they all came up the same. The eye hole is way too big.

Actually, spinning the camera around, it's the eyelash that's the problem:

The "edit mode" trick (right click the head, select edit, click the "edit linked" checkmark, hit the arrow until the eyelash is selected, then exit edit mode) worked and cleared up the alpha problem. (You may even be able to directly right click the eyelash if you're skilled enough).

You may have also noticed the neck area is a bit of a mess in the first pick, but here's another look:

Maybe other bodies blend better, or maybe I need to spend a little more time on the shape (Jake's neck sheath wasn't helpful), but this is v0.1. They aren't even at 1.0 yet, so very much a work in progress at the moment. Other than these two things I noticed, bento & BOM work fine and the head is as responsive to the sliders as any other head out there. Once the eyelash is worked out I'd say this is a serviceable head.

There is also a full version of this. It doesn't appear the gift head is restricted, but according to the signs and ads, the full head gets a few more features, like an animation HUD and beards.

This'll go on the free & cheap mesh things page. Also, in the notecard they said they're working on a head for women.

Get it in-world or the Marketplace. 1L.
