Note that I am keeping Viva Level 2 on the Marketplace for individuals who would like a simpler mesh avatar, but you can also obtain the full featured avatar with many more features. Feel free to click on the "Related Items" link to view it.
I had originally set the price of Level 2 at L$ 800 but Viva really needs to develop a solid user base and it needs creators to make skins, clothing and other items for her.
Because the market is almost exclusively dominated by a couple of brands, it's almost impossible for someone new to establish any sort of presence. Sometime down the road, I will need to charge more. Right now, the Level 2 and Level 3 packages are available for free in-world or for a nominal 1 linden on the Marketplace.
This is a new avatar and she is a work-in-progress. You can help by making suggestions and pointing out ways to improve her. Post your ideas on the Viva Forum (accessed from the Viva website.) But please go easy on me. Viva has been a tremendous amount of work, and it can be discouraging when people are unkind in their comments. Viva has great potential, and with your help, she can really shine.
UPDATE: I am actively working on the next version - and I'm being helped by a review team. (If you'd like to be on the review team, you would be very welcome. Just drop me a note.) This next version, will see lots of improvement from a body aesthetics standpoint. Since the next version will be free, I won't be able to send all users an IM, so you'll want to check the Viva Forum from time to time for an announcement of its availability
Let me explain the Level 2 features . . .
Viva Lite (Level 2) is the second in a series of three high quality mesh avatars.
It is a great starter mesh avatar.
You get two avatars. One is a traditional mesh avatar that includes one layer on which you can load tattoos or underwear. The other is a Bakes on Mesh avatar which allows you to take advantage of Second Life's new Bakes on Mesh system. Both bodies are physics enabled with breast, belly and butt dynamics.
The Level 3 version handles advanced materials. Body shape is controllable by Appearance Sliders. The Lite comes with a Master HUD which combines all Viva functions, including the following components: alphas, layers, fingernail coloring, nail designs, & hand poses.) Instead of dealing with separate HUD's, you'll find everything you'll need in one place.
It includes ten skins, a mesh dress, and Bakes on Mesh clothing. Overall, the package includes over 100 items.
