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 good but :)
It s an exellent avatar -especially for its price. Now thare are lots of stuff otm, so the clothes are not the problem. But if you look an avatar for a tiny female as i am - you better get the Kemono.
This is great but kemono its easier way.
I rlly want the refund so i can buy kemono.
Because there is very few items that made for avatar 2.0
Its better if u use kemono but its awesome too.
Well Utelizator didnt answer me yet OwO
The most efficient, moddable, and Natural-shaped body in SL
As a creator who makes and wears both male and female human stuff, I will say that this body is the most versatile and pleasant to work with out of every body in SL. It's also very efficient with vertices, so it doesn't slow down your graphics, which is something other bodies make me face-palm at.
To make it even more efficient, you can rez the body and un-link the chest sizes you do not use.
For those who want a MALE body that is not oversized, please try this body with the "Manime Torso" by Krankhaus. That is the best way to get a male anime avatar body.
Otherwise, this body by itself works fine for thinner androgynous males and femboys if you widen the shoulders(around 60-65) and narrow the hips(around 40-45), and get a male skin mod(I recommend male skins by Artificial Hallucination, especially the K-Pop skin with abs).
The only thing that this body has less of than the Kemono is tons of clothing.
Creators need to make more clothing. Luckily, there are still creators like Krankhaus and eventually myself continually making clothes for this 2.0 body, so you really do have many things to wear if you know how to look for it... which would be easier if Uti came up with a proper name for this body that is unique and easy to search for. >.>
new body!
love this avatar, with the tank top and short shorts, and maitreya compatable hair, it is beautiful
Very Impressed
I love this avatar body, and I got a quick response from the creator when I couldn't understand why I could not change breast sizes, the old note card included said there would be a box with 3 sizes included, but the breast sizes are actually in the hud once you select the gear wheel. Not all the body sliders working the normal avatar appearance mode but enough of them adjust to make this body sexy smexy. I would like see more done with the bottom of the legs, I wasn't able to get my slink high feet to attach without clipping, so I used some older sculpted feet with high heels and it looks good.
Versatile if you know how to work SL
As Utilizator has stated on their blog, the item does have a limited amount of clothing from both themselves and a very small amount of makers for the avatar, but, due to the fact the avatar's portions are somewhat in-line with the LL body, most mesh clothes work for it, especially since you can hide parts of the 2.0 body. There's minimal skins and such on the MP (especially since I'm using a furry avatar with it) but if you can figure out how to modify/make your own, it's an extremely good avatar. I personally do prefer this over the kemono simply because the proportions are more "human-like" but that's simply personal preference.
My only issue with it is that it's not fitmesh, so the body isn't adjustable at all. Buuut Utilizator has also addressed fitmesh on their blog and why they didn't make the kemono adaptable for it, so I'd assume the same could be applied for 2.0.
The avatar does limit your clothing, skin, and head options, but overall it's a very good avatar.
Only minor complaint I have, though, is that the neck doesn't extend with the LL neck. As most furs might know, using rigged hair with a furry head causes a gap between the neck and head on most mesh avatars, (because you must make the LL head bigger, and the bottom of the LL head includes a portion of the neck, I think. Might be wrong on why the issue is there though.) and it'd be cool if there was a fix for this, but this is also probably something that many people don't experience so I understand why this wouldn't be addressed.
Four stars, not a 5 simply because as I said, the avatar requires a good bit of modding and messing around with to make work. You're basically buying a base with this, but, a versatile base.
