Avastar Bento?

[SiaSeraphina]

Hello, I apologize if this isn't in the right place, I'm new to the forum and this was my best guess. I'm looking to buy Avastar, and was wondering if the, uh, base(?) product comes with a Bento skeleton or if it's just the update product. I'm hoping that it's available all in one purchase, but I understand if it's not- I just want to make sure I'm understanding what I'm getting out of purchasing whichever products before committing. Thank you!

If you have any questions about Avastar I strongly recommend you ask on the Avastar Discord chat    and also check out the the Avastar Reference manual : https://avalab.org/avastar/300/reference/

 

In the meantime a couple of screenshots from the Avastar  addon in Blender :

Blender > Object mode > Add > Avastar > 3-Skeleton :

 

Will add a Bento skeleton :

 

or  option  2-Complete  will add an avatar mesh along with the skeleton :

Hello! Thank you for your response, I had no idea about the discord, I will definitely give that a shot.

Are the screenshots you provided for just the base add-on or is it including the avastar-2 part aswell? I hope this question makes sense (I've got sleepy brain) 😅 either way thank you so much for your response! It is very helpful.

The screenshots are from Avastar 2.93

I'm not sure what you mean by "Base add-on" compared to  "avastar-2"  ?

As far as I know all versions of the Avastar add-on are complete. If you need Developer kits for specific bodies then it is up to you to apply for and add them to Avastar yourself.

Versions of Avastar are :

Avastar-1-legacy was for Blender up to version 2.78    and is pre Bento. You definitely don't want this one.

Avastar-2.79 is for Blender 2.79.

Avastar- 2.93 is for Blender 2.83 to 3.0

Avastar 3.1 is for Blender 3.0 and newer.  If you do decide to get Avastar and you are using Blender 3.0 or newer then this is the version that you should be downloading.

 

Checkout the discord group they really are extremely helpful and will be able to answer any questions concerning Avastar that you have.

My apologies, when I had asked this I would see Avastar, renewal and Avastar-2 as product options. I ended up biting the bullet and buying it (actual avastar, not whatever I was talking about 😂) though, and was able to find out avastar that way, that it was just an upgrade for if someone had a much older version (I think, i could be wrong) but what you explained here answers exactly what I was wondering, so thank you!
