How to build your Own HUD:
First Need to understand how to rename your animations and icon images [images are not important the HUD already has Pre-installed images/icons] -Animated Eyes Mood:
-Animations need to have names as follows:
Ua 0
Us 0
Ua 1
Us 1
-The numbers can be from 0 until 23
-The Ua is the upper animated, there must be Space between the Ua
and the number that comes after it.
-The Us is the upper Static, there must be Space between the Us
and the number that comes after it.
-When the button is paused, it plays the Us # animation.
-If you drop only the static Us 0 without dropping the animated version of it Ua 0, in that case this animation will go to the static eyes arrows section on the HUD. -Static/Looped Eyes Animations:
-Animations need to have the names as follows:
Us 24
Us 25
Us 26
-The Us is the upper Static [or looped], there must be Space between the Us and the number that comes after it. The number must be 24 and greater value if you want it to go to the arrows static/looped
section on the HUD.
-Images needs to have names as follows:
U 0
U 1
U 2
There must be a space between the U and the number following it.
-The image above shows the names of animated, static animations and icons textures.
Animated Lips Mood:
-Exactly like the eyes moods but use the letter L instead of U, L is for Lower Lips animations.
Static Looped Lips animations:
-Animations need to have the names as follows:
Ls 60
Ls 61
Ls 62
The Ls is the Lips Static, there must be Space between the Ls
and the number that comes after it. The number must be 60 and
greater value if you want it to go to the arrows static/looped
section.
How to install the renamed animations and images in the HUD:
1- You should have 2 HUDs, one for Female Heads has [F] letter, the other for Male Heads has [M] letter in its name. Rez the one you like. Drag from inventory and drop on floor.
2- Left click the HUD to rename it, Right click the HUD, Edit.
3- Drag the animations and images from inventory to the HUD contents. Can add animations only without images, the HUD already has images pre-installed. You can not delete anything you add to the HUD. 4- Right Click the HUD, Take, Wear. This HUD should look like this.
When the HUD is Full of animations, it should look like the following image:

-Removed the ears rig from the hide ears pieces so you can wear bento ears when head’s original ears are hidden.
Catya Head V2.09 Updates on 27 Jan. 2017: –Eye bags FIXED for custom shapes:
-As we promised in our very fist video to work more on the eyelids closing and eyelashes clipping that was due to the eyes rig. This issue can not be fixed unless if we edit the rigging. And when editing the rigging, all old shapes will change which is why we promise to include the old rig for old purchasers just in case you they did not like the new rig. In the v2.08 we changed the rig and got nice eyelids closing but then we got eye bags issues with some custom shapes when using heads sliders. Now we have changed the rig again on this version and there should be no more eye bags issues and also will have lovely lashes and lovely closed eyelids. If your shape by any chance has smaller eyes than the default shape then your eyelids might overlap and that’s due to bento limitations since animations can not detect the shape sliders.
Catya Head & Animations HUD [A] V2.08 Updates on 27 Jan. 2017:
Catya Teeth Add-On Updates on 27 Jan. 2017: -Catya Head Updates:
-The rigging has be changed in order to have smother shape sliders and better closed eyelids.
-Old shapes that were created for Catya may need few changes to be able to look the same on the new rig version, So I will keep the old rig packed inside the head’s pack [for old purchasers only!], just in case someone did not like the new rig. But we highly recommend using the new version. As the old rig has eyes animations that will always revert your eyes shape back to original default shape.
-Smaller teeth size is added. Animations HUD [A] Updates:
-Catya’s HUD has some eyes animations updated to work for the new rig.
-Gestures should not get bones stuck when done playing. -Catya Teeth Add-On:

Catya Head V1.03 Updates on 14 Nov. 2016: -Animations HUD Updates: Changed all of the 9 expressions to be able to work for custom shapes.
Catya Head V1.02 Updates on 7 Nov. 2016: -Animations HUD Updates: -Shape Button Added [Default or Custom shape], This is important! Please Choose which shape you are wearing with the head before starting to use the HUD/Head.
-One more talk animation is added to the head that can be used for Custom shapes. As mentioned above, make sure you choose the correct shape you are wearing. And the head should automatically switch the talk animations to the correct one.
-If you choose Custom shape, the 9 Moods [expressions] will be locked. The reason is because the expressions are created only to work with default shape [translation animations]. If you use them with your Custom shape they will override your custom shape and will get your bones stuck in there. In other word, it will give you a fake shape! Right click your avatar choose reset skeleton to see the correct Custom shape which you are wearing. Reset skeleton is something done locally on each viewer. If you press “Reset Skeleton” it does NOT reset the skeleton for everyone else viewing your avatar.
Here is a list of bones that are partially or completely affected by sliders that move their position, and therefore may have those slider values overridden by translation animations that also affect position as well: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Project_Bento_Skeleton_Guide#Bones_Currently_Affected_By_Positional…
Catya Head V1.01 Updates on 5 Nov. 2016:
After many reports about the bones going back to default position when using my animations which I included in the head. I asked about that bones Bug, and I found out that there are, Two kinds of Bento animations: 1-Bones Rotation ONLY: [Works for all kinds of custom shapes]
-This means I only rotate the bones while creating the animation. But the down side of it is that some of the animations created this way might look weird, not very pretty, of course not all kinds of animations, depends! The animations that can look pretty with only rotation are kinda limited! 2-Bones Rotation and Translation [Re-Position]: [Works for Default shape ONLY]
-Those kind of animations looks way prettier than rotation only, but the down side of it is that it will ONLY work for the default shape that I have included which I used while creating the Head and Animations. -The Updates done for the Catya Head are:
-Two reset gestures added to the pack, for default shape and for custom shapes.
-All Default lips are replaced with Bones Rotations Animations ONLY, so they can work with all kinds of custom shapes.
-The reset button on the animations HUD should reset bones rotations only, so it can work with all kinds of custom shapes.
-All the rest of the animations are the same like before [rotation/translation] , they should work only with the default shape included in the pack.
BENTO IS NEW TO SECOND LIFE, IF THERE WERE ANY BUGS ON THE HEAD THAT I CAN FIX, THEN I WILL FIX AND SEND A FREE UPDATES. IF THOSE BUGS WERE SECOND LIFE BUGS THEN YOU MUST KNOW THAT I CAN NEVER FIX!
-In the following video I talked about some features and showed some animations that comes with the Catya head when purchased:
-You can change facial features using the Shape Sliders.
-There will be many Add-ons released for Bento heads as bento bones gives us an endless possibilities to do so many things such as endless animations, Animations HUD [C] will be an optional add on can be purchased separately will work for Catwa Bento Heads.

-Animations HUD Manual:
-If you used an animation that changes bones position [From other Stores], it will give you a fake shape! Right click your avatar choose reset skeleton to see the correct Custom shape which you are wearing. Reset skeleton is something done locally on each viewer. If you press “Reset Skeleton” it does NOT reset the skeleton for everyone else viewing your avatar.
Here is a list of bones that are partially or completely affected by sliders that move their position, and therefore may have those slider values overridden by translation animations that also affect position as well: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Project_Bento_Skeleton_Guide#Bones_Currently_Affected_By_Positional… Keep in mind there are two kinds of animations, one works for all shapes and the other works only for default shape which will move the bones and stick them in there until teleporting, relog, or reset skeleton. while shopping for shapes at CATWA store or any other store make sure if that animations was created for custom or a special shape.
-Mesh eyes:
We highly recommend using the rigged eyes included in the head’s pack, those rigged eyes will work with the Eyes HUD that comes included in the CATWA Mesh Eyes/Tears Pack [Sold Separately].
Mesh Body Fitting [Bento Female Heads]:
-Best fitting mesh bodies are Belleza, Maitreya, Slink as they have a nice alpha neck fix extension. Make sure your body fat value matches the neck size on the head’s Main HUD also matches the neck size on the body’s HUD. TMP and SL system body can work too but they do not have neck-fix, Without a neck-fix you might look like you have 2 skintones with some windlight settings . For TMP body use stylemode HUD-modify-retrofit. Mesh body can be purchased from other stores not included in heads packs.
-Must wear Head & body skin appliers from the same skin store same skin tone for best neck color matching.
Mesh Body Fitting [Bento Male Heads]: -Signature, TMP, Slink, Adam, & System body Users:
All of those bodies will fit 100% but you might need to enable the neck fix of the head for some windlights/graphics settings. For TMP body use stylemode HUD-modify-retrofit. However, neck fix coming from a mesh body looks prettier than when it is coming from the head. Choose neck option from the Main HUD. For Signature Body choose default neck and turn off neckfix from Main HUD second tab. Mesh body can be purchased from other stores it is not included in heads packs. -Niramyth body Users: NOT all CATWA Male heads come with Niramyth neck size, so make sure to try the DEMO and see if it was included in the DEMO or not, if NOT then it will NOT be included after purchase. Niramyth body was NOT designed to fit our system avatars neck, That’s why the head will NOT fit this body perfectly! WARNING! If you want to use Niramyth, better wear mesh hair to hide the back of the head, and of course TRY demo and watch my video to make sure the fit is acceptable for your taste! Niramyth folder contains [SL Head Matching] a neck blend that must be worn with the head.
-The head Not modifiable, but you may use your shape sliders to change its facial features, it is highly recommended to start with the shape included in the head’s pack, there might be few sliders that are locked by second life.
-The head has Triple layers, the first inside inner layer is for skin to be applied, the skin can have hairbase on it and can be bald, also it can have eyebrows or can be browless. Just like the SL normal skins, means you can never clean/remove the hairbase or brows if there were painted directly on the skin layer.
-The second and third layers which covers the skin [Covers the whole head] are makeup layers. Which is divided into areas. Upper and lower lipstick areas, Upper and lower blush areas, Upper and lower brows areas, Upper and lower eyes makeup areas, Upper and lower neck tattoo areas, Upper and lower ears tattoo areas, and Upper and lower hairbase areas.
–WARNING: You can not wear lashes, upper eyes makeup, and upper brows layers all in alpha blend mode. Lashes must be masked, or upper brows and upper eyes makeup must be masked with lashes blend, or enable advanced lighting model in your viewer preferences graphics tab. That is Second life Bug we can NOT fix that! We could only manage to get the lower layers of brows and eyes makeup to be able to blend with the lashes all together without problems.
-In case you can not see the alpha textures on the mesh head, modify your graphics settings, that is Second life bug we can not control that:
-The head’s skin and makeup areas can be textured by using Appliers created and sold by third party creators. Appliers purchased from other creators can be for hairbase, skin, lipstick, brows, eyes makeup, blush, neck tattoo, teeth, ears tattoo, and lashes. The makeup appliers will use the lower makeup appliers on the head by default. You can use the Master HUD to switch them from lower to upper layer.
Example: Use blush applier click to apply on lower blush layer, open Master HUD blush tab, check lower layer, use a save slot to save the applied blush texture, check upper layer on Master HUD, use the same save slot to apply the texture on the upper blush layer.
-Each makeup area can have one applier at a time. If you apply another applier on same makeup area, it will take off the previous one and apply the second one. To remove click the clear button on the main HUD for that makeup area. Make sure you check upper or lower layer as you have 2 of each makeup layer on the head.
-Appliers creators are totally free to apply their makeups on one or more makeup areas. Example: If the appliers creator wanted to make wider lipstick that goes out of the mesh lipstick area, they may apply the lipstick on the blush layer too, that means if you apply another blush layer after applying this lipstick, it will take off part of the lipstick. Same for the eyes makeup. They may apply on the eyes makeup area and brows area together. Might also use blush area for the same eyes makeup if it was too wide. So always try demos or ask the creator before purchase.
-Appliers created for any CATWA HEAD. Will work for ALL CATWA HEADs including future heads releases too. They will for sure look different depending on the face shape as not all heads look the same. Male HEAD’s hairbase, blush and brows will be different than female heads. As they will be divided differently, You may need to try appliers demos or ask applier creator for item’s info if it suits both before purchase.
-Simple lashes UV is provided in a free developers kit and can be created simply to have a unique lashes too.
-Same with the teeth UV. Gums UV will be added to the new bento kits.
-Two HUDs included, main HUD, and animations HUD. Other HUDs you can get from the free pack.
-Mini HUD and Animations HUD can be worn to walk around everywhere in second life because it doesn’t have re-texturing buttons which makes it lag FREE.
-Main HUD and Hair.Teeth.Neck HUD both have many save slots, you can save your favorite appliers on them.
-Master HUD can be very laggy if you have saved many appliers on the save slots buttons. I would strongly suggest you to wear it only when dressing up then detach it. Don’t Minimizing it.
-All of the head textures can be tinted via Master HUD, go to tint tab, under diffuse activate the layer you would like to tint, some layers buttons are divided to two halfs, the right half is for the upper layer and the left half is for the lower layer, after you activate the right layer that you want to tint, use the tint pallet . Also all layers have Shininess Materials enabled and can be controlled and tinted via Master HUD. Watch shine tutorial video:
