Current avatar version is 1.10 but the version in this box is still 1.8, please use the included update card and update your avatar to 1.10 for the bug fixes mentioned bellow.
Welcome to the future of second life! and thank you for not being a stubborn old man and using v2 and v3 based viewers :D
What you see here is a beta of what eventually might be my answer to LL's default avatar body.
Due to the recent changes to the shape of the head, both old and new avatar 2.0 users will need to readjust the size, spacing and depth of your eyes for compatibility.
These are the new values:
Eye size: 45-100
Eye spacing: 60
Eye depth: 27
- About the project -
The project began with a vision of, or more like, a necessity for a better second life avatar model, one that LL failed to provide us with, or even fix any of the major flaws of the current model for years. Now that we can upload our own 3D models to SL, we have the power to make that vision a reality. The main purpose of the Avatar 2.0 project was to research and develop the best possible ways to model and rig the the avatar as well as some other stuff. And so that i could apply the things i learned to my future mesh avatars. Over the time lots of new features got added and problems fixed and we are now at version 1.9.
- Whats New in 1.0 -
A huge change, I have found workaround for the 8 face per mesh object limit, now the Avatar 2.0 has lots of new hide options, that can be accessed through the new "advanced" button on the side of the HUD. you now will be able to wear so much more stuff.
Also the body is prepared for the next update that is going to introduce face expressions, hand and feet positions and other neat stuff.
- About the HUD -
The HUD lets you easily show and hide different body parts for use with different mesh clothing, as well as choose the skin color you like.
- Bonus items -
The bonus item box will now contain the older versions of the avatar as well as the UV maps and skin textures for people interested in modding the avatar.
I have also included a hair base cuz someone needed one for her half shaved head haircut.

Always make backups before editing, if you forgot to make a copy and screwed up, use the update card to get a new copy.
- Known bugs -
This isnt a bug with the avatar itself but, due to the recent changes to the head and neck, the TCC and CCCP body suits for Avatar 2.0 are no longer compatible, my blog has details about how to obtain new 1.9 compatible versions of the suits if you own one.
- Future plans -
More different faces, facial expressions and blink.
If Qarl's mesh deformer project comes through and the results will be satisfactory, Avatar 2.0 will also make use of this new technology.

Owned this body for years 10/10
Still a great buy has great options for furry paws and mods. Stands out in a sea of other furry bodies.
Love
this was my 1st mesh avi i have ever bot this can be mail or femail skins are ezy mod. load of close vary afordible peeps still making cloths bran new for this avi 2022. A lot of the old TMP cloths will fit this avi as well. Most cloths u find for this avi for the mail side usly come with other avi fits as well usly kemono-jake-Kero are the mane. u can allso match other head to this avi with ez
Nothing in the box？
I unpack the box, wait a long time, but nothing in the box...
better for people who enjoy modding. limited in clothes department too
this body is applier only, unless you get the now available bom relay. but i couldn't figure it out.
even when it comes to clothing i've had a hard time finding clothes made to fit this body. kemono seems to have better clothes designer support. half of the clothes available for avatar 2.0 requires you to use a older version that doesn't respond to shape sliders. maybe its just me but i prefer mesh that is receptive to sliders because i like to make my own shapes for my avatars.
There are plenty of neat avatars using utilizator's heads and bodies in secondlife but some modding knowledge is probably required to do that. utilizator's stuff is full perm and copy so you can get crazy mod-wise unlike some other bodies and heads out there.
personally, i just found myself more frustrated with avatar 2.0 and m4 venus/mars heads compared to other mesh bodies and heads i own. i still have one avatar using this body with the m4 mars head since i did spend lidens on them. maybe pass on this body, if you aren't skilled with modding, don't like appliers, or want a large selection of clothes.
Amazing product
I bought it in 2014 and I use it only — with some updates, it never gets old. Beautiful avatar with excellent customization.
