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.

A word of warning...
The avi is great, but anyone who has "Lighting and Shadows" on may see you completely naked (aside from shoes and skirt). Been getting a lot of weird comments until I realized this :/
Hopefully it'll get fixed some time soon
Go ahead, please!
I bought this Avatar 2.0 and I was very pleased. I wish you to continue the development - and sales - in order to have more options avatars, clothing and accessories such as socks, tattoos, shirts, shoes, etc ... Currently, even some mesh clothing does not fit very well, but many others work, and acessories like jewels also fits well . I hope this can be fixed, so we can wear clothes of different manufacturers. Congratulations. Go ahead!
Amazing
I love the thought and ideas behind this and I think this could really be a huge breakthrough in Secondlife if tweaked just right. It's already pretty amazing now, just that her skin is a little yellow as been said, but otherwise, I'm pretty floored!
if you want 5 stars..
MAKE SOME MORE CLOTHES FOR HER ALREADY :D
Best L$300 I've ever spent.
This is a fantastic avatar. She's well-proportioned, moves naturally, and overall just looks great. I've customized her shape and tinted her skin a little (I have to agree with the previous reviewers; she does look a bit yellow out of the box), but this is the first time I've ever found a human avatar I would actually have used right out of the box (I'm just a tinkerer! ^^;). I can't wait until more things are available for her. I intended for this to only be a "sometimes" avatar until more things were available, but now...looks like I've gotta go hunting for prim and/or mesh clothes, because I can't imagine going back to Ruth!
As for the face, yes, she looks young, but I wouldn't say entirely childlike - I'd place her as more of a teen to young adult, which works just fine for me. I also love how it's a bit stylized without looking completely cartoony (like many other stylized faces) or just plain ridiculous (as such stylizing does to the Ruth mesh). She looks like something I'd find in one of my favorite video games. I'm more than pleased.
Amazing work, and I look forward to watching the progress on her!
Pretty good but not great
Shape wise its a wonderful avatar she is realistically porpotioned and you can alot of work went into her . However the previous reviewer is Right about the skin being much to yellow ! also facially she appears to be extremely young..great for a child avie but not so great for an adult avie .
