HUD
Pros and Cons
Other pros and cons to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- Sushi’s shape is super versatile and easy to customize via the HUD. With the combination of nose tip, muzzle, lip, jaw, tongue, ear, fin, and teeth options you have literally over 30,000 different combinations. That’s not a typo.
- The included EasyBake 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
- Sushi 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. There are both first and third party options, however.
- The included eyes are basically a backup just in case you aren’t using other mesh eyes. The creator recommends using FATEEyes.
- Some of the pose combinations clip, but it can easily be remedied by adjusting the individual poses.
