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.

Very nice bento uptates
I loved the new update but it would be very, very wonderful if you had to lower your waist, your breasts have their perfect sizes, I think this does not have to be changed, as the head is now partially bent, I found it somewhat uncomfortable the fact of which to change some things to let deformed, in general I loved, thank you very much and I await more updates for waist!
Indefinite Beta
Forever without an official release and adjustable arm sizes and the like. Alas.
ehhh
rather disappointed, iv been in sl for over 7 years so im at this point every purchase i don't have a use for is harder and harder to swallow.
this is beta so maybe things will change but by then i'll likely have found what im looking for els ware .. it says fitted mesh but i can't make my arms any thicker, and when i make my shoulders even a little wider there is this weird gap from the side of my chest to where my arms start the mesh body is a little chubby from the side view when i rather be flat belly , the bento hands haven't been playing nice with any of my bento ao's.. the uvs are all mirrored , the toes looks super low poly , the whole body looks low poly and has hard edges . or at least harder edges then im used to, if this wasn't a beta id rate the stars lower.. but since this is advertised as a work in progress im giving it a 3.. if you didn't know 3 is "ok".. i really wanna give it a 2 but the maker gives lots of extras that while i had no use for are a nice touch for many people im sure and i respect that effort , i really dont like the slider placement in general on this body.. and the flat chest option is just bad, i demoed the fitted kemo and was able to move the nipples a bit to make the flat chest less saggy , but with this half fitted avatar 2.0 none of the breast sliders to anything .. really the description should list the sliders that do work, as its not meny and won't take too much typing out.. i get that most people seem to be fine with all these issued iv mentioned and that's great im happy for them.. but my lin matters too, a demo would have saved me some lin but i guess this sellers high sales means the few of us left disappointed just don't matter .. the creator is paid.. so who cares about me right? (i know i'm assuming things in this last bit, but why no demo? don't have a few hours to spare?, tho its shouldn't' take hours to make a demo form your source

i see friend with nice human av an ask where get it say it this1 so i by it i no by much unles i like
Not good.
First there seems to be a bug with eyes. As soon as I wear the avi both Av2.0 eyes or LL eyes sink. Skin texture limitations are severe due to poor UV mapping. LL avatar allows 3 times the quality to make it worst most of the texture space is used on the head wich is not customizable so not like many people is going to use it. Yet if eyes are fixed and with a decent skin mod it may work decently.
Wonderful Versatile Needs Better Alphas
I love this mesh so much, but i really wish it had better alphas. They are so basic that they're practically useless. I really want to use mine more, but every outfit i get for it only looks good if i'm standing perfectly upright. Please get better alphas for this body so I can wear what i want. Every other mesh body has this covered perfectly, so I know it's not an unreasonable request. Just fix it.
