So now with SL & IMVU Avatar creation under my belt, I truly feel I can discuss the pro’s and con’s of creating a sexy Avatar in both systems. Avatar vs. Avatar, I 'll answer which Avatar is easier to create. Which serves body best, and what who's avatars serves fashion and looks better in world. In making my comparison please understand I already know the systems are very different. Please don’t remind me that it's like comparing apples vs. oranges. I get this, but feel since both are fruits a comparison can be made. I also understand that neither is better or worse, it's more a conversation of preferences. As I share my experienced with BOTH avatars, like in the real world, I have to note that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and often enhanced by the wallet. The same can be said in the virtual landscape too. Beautiful and realistic avatars can be created in both IMVU and SL, but it depends on your budget and what you personally find attractive. I have seen some um... "interesting" and cartoon Avatars in both systems. That's no fault of the Avatar or system. The quality reflects the skill, budget, time investment and artistic abilities of the user.
Designers are also a strong factor in Avatar beauty. In both systems I found some extremely talented and creative content developers, who love their worlds and work to push the limits of their virtual businesses and art. By doing so they are allowing us, the game's consumers, the ability to achieve the realism we seek and want in our virtual lives. The quality of developers and content creators play a major role in the realism, fashion, and style of an Avatar. Factoring in that with what the system offers, and the talent of the content developers, is very important to my review as well. That said let's start comparing!
