Pros and Cons
Other pros and cons to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- Uvai and Vasaran have 4 different shape options for the back of the head.
- The included applier HUD makes it easy to apply your own textures.
- The creator is extremely helpful and responsive to any questions or concerns you may have. This is confirmed in their Marketplace reviews and I can also attest to it from my own experience.
Cons
- The Alien Heads doesn’t come with alphas to hide your default head and eyes, but alphas are easy to find if you don’t already have some.
- If you don’t know how to make your own textures you’ll have to purchase others to change your head’s appearance beyond the shape.
- The included eyes are basically a backup just in case you aren’t using other mesh eyes. The creator recommends using FATEEyes.
