Keep an eye on my Project Bento tag on my blog for all posts I make about Bento updates and also watch my Project Bento YouTube Playlist for all videos I make about Bento updates. Please do check out both of the skeleton pages I linked above to see which bones were added and how that affects your body parts before making any purchases. I know there is a bento craze going on these days because bento is shiny and new so people are just adding the word bento to items to get them to sell more. I know there are people selling bento feet and bento internal organs on marketplace, those are most probably a scam so please be careful before purchasing items like that on marketplace without doing your research first. What we won’t be seeing are other bento enabled body parts for human bodies. This is why we are seeing mesh head and body designers releasing and updating their mesh heads and hands to bento. When it comes to human mesh bodies and heads: 46 face bones were added and 15 hand bones in each hand for a total of 30 bones for hands were added. The avastar website also does a great job of showing them all in detail on their SL Skeleton page. Linden Lab has added additional bones to the Second Life avatar skeleton to support both rigging and animation. There are 106 new bones added for Bento and you can see a list of all of them on the Project Bento Skeleton Guide on the Second Life wiki. I think there is still a lot of confusion surrounding Bento, so I’ll try and explain it once again. However, whenever possible, please do try DEMOs before making any purchases. All bento parts should essentially work with each other as long as the animations don’t have bone position translation enabled. People keep asking me if certain bento items will work with different bento animations and AOs and such. Here is a list of other HUDs and animations that I used in my video that did work well with these hands: Therefore the SLink HUD will not work on the Maitreya or Vista bento hands, it breaks them (which I showed in the video). If that setting is turned on, then it can make the animations a lot less compatible with other bento items. I was told that the reason they don’t work with the SLink HUD is because the slink animations have bone position translation in them which is a setting in blender that can be turned on. The only animations that don’t work with these hands are the ones that come with the SLink hands. In the video I showed these hands working with all different kinds of HUDs and animations from other creators. I’ve made a little video explaining this bento update, watch it on youtube: – Fixed a potential issue with nail polish vs gloves (alpha glitch) – Added an optional mini AO HUD, with just the hand poses. – Added an “ankle lock” to correct the heel on the tiptoe feet for poses that break them. – Added a “cycle natural hand poses” button to the HUD. – Re-installed the minimize function by clicking the logo bar

UPDATE April 20, 2017: I just learned that there will be an update to the Maitreya body today taking into account some feedback that was provided to the designer.

For customer support questions and issues, please look up the designer’s profile, her name is Onyx LeShelle, to see how she prefers to be contacted for customer support issues.

If you join the Maitreya VIP group (it’s free to join) you will find in the notices a HUD, and if you wear it, it will cycle through the natural hand poses that are in the Maitreya main HUD.

UPDATE April 7, 2017: Two things I forgot to mention before: It was first released in December of 2014 and you can find more information about the body in my original post from back then. If you had not purchased the Maitreya body from before and are interested in purchasing it now, it is available at the Maitreya mainstore for L$2750. The hands being rigged to the new bento bones now means that they can be animated by using different bento animations for hands on the grid.

Those were the only changes that were made to the body.

Two new nail shapes have been added: Stiletto nails and Almond nails, plus the ability to turn nails off completely.

14 hand poses have been added that can be combined with all your model poses and AOs.

The HUD has been expanded and a few updates have been added to the Skin & Options tab of the HUD.

No other part of the mesh body has been changed in any way.

The hands have been updated and rigged to the bento bones.

Once you put on the body, you will notice the following changes: If you had purchased the Maitreya Lara body from before, you just have to detach and re-attach it and you should automatically get sent the update.

Maitreya recently released their bento update to their Maitreya Mesh Body.
