**The most customizable giant mesh avatar in SL.**

The BIGAVS Mesh Macro kit is the Mesh successor to BIGAVS Vehicle Free kit, and facilitates the
creation of giant avatars up to around 13 meters or 40~ feet in height.

The system is constantly updated, and as of version 1.6, includes 10 mesh avatar shapes, all in full range of sizes from approximately 9-40 feet in height. All of the BIGAVS meshes are built from the regular SL mesh, so you can use regular SL clothing and skin textures with them - although you will need the actual texture asset or its UUID. For content creators, an applicator script is available on request. The kit includes a free skin for each gender, and a selection of clothing textures.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS.

HUD FEATURES
________________________________________________________________________________________________

TEXTURE CHANGER:

As rigged mesh attachments cannot be selected or edited while being worn, the hud has a
texture change function to allow you to alter the appearance of the micro mesh without the
need to detach and rez it on the ground.

The texture change menu is accessible via the top button on the hud. Once opened, you can
change the textures, colors, glows and alphas of the six boxes shown using 'edit linked'
(right click > edit > edit linked). Once satisfied with these settings, left click the buttons to
apply the changes to your avatar. Note that the scripts inside the mesh parts will continue to
function independently of eachother, so if you wish to remove unnecessary portions of the
mesh, such as the head, you may do so without affecting the functionality of the hud.

OFFSET SLIDER

The macro mesh kit contains a whopping 99 offset animations, allowing for more precise
adjustment of your avatar's vertical offset from the ground than in any BIGAVS product to date.

MACRO CAMERA:

This button toggles the camera between the default and a higher angle that may make nagivating
certain areas easier.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

AO & AO MENU:

As in previous products, the HUD includes the open source ZHAO II, loaded with both male and
female animations. Use of this AO is not required and can be disabled, but be aware that a full AO is
required to prevent undesirable animation results, such as oddly folding arms and legs.

PLEASE NOTE: CERTAIN ANIMATIONS MAY NOT WORK ENTIRELY AS EXPECTED.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

KNOWN ISSUES:

SL may fail to undeform you when you detach a mesh. For this reason, an 'Undeform Mesh' has been included which should force your avatar back into normal proportions when worn.

As always, stay tuned to the BIGAVS Update group, and feel free to IM me with any questions you may have

Happy avatar building,

However having to move to have the avatar height thing to activate is a bit tedious. I also have -no- idea how to get updates for it.

Pretty Good

I really quite like this mesh shape. The added in Pear one though. I can definantly see where Francis was coming from, the features are a little skewed.

The eyes are a little far apart and i do only mean a little, a good3 to 4 mm on each towards the nose would be fine and the mouth does seem a bit too smiley which gives it a slightly cartoony effect, which was not what I was going for.

And you really do need to be a skin designer or, at least ask a skin designer to sell you textures rather than skins. But if you're okay with the mediocre templates available and are handy with PS or Gimp then by all means make your own!

Overall, this is an amazing product, the only of it's kind and with some work, more body shape options, less SL-y shape (in regards to the feet mainly).

I am very satisfied.

Excellent Kit, Though Requires Building Experience to Use

Though an excellent kit, it requires a fair amount of experience to bake your own textures for it (which can't really be avoided because of the way SL works). If that doesn't scare you off, you'll be very satisfied with the meshes and HUD.
