This is an overview of the LeLutka River mesh head for Second Life avatars. Almost all the information also applies to the other LeLutka EvoX heads, however the photos are only of River, and the list is what comes with River. Other heads may have slightly different content. As always I strongly encourage you to demo before making any final purchases. To browse other mesh heads, bodies, and more check out The Mesh Directory.

HUD
Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons
Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- LeLutka is a popular designer, so there is widespread support for their heads.
- River is designed to be non binary and can be used for feminine, masculine, and androgynous looks. It fits feminine and masculine bodies.
- The HD makeup allows for materials and high quality makeup appliers to be used even when using BOM skins.
- Two HD eye makeup layers lets you combine HD makeup, giving you even more quality customization options.
- The facial animations are great quality and multiple moods can be toggled at the same time.
- The EvoX line has so many heads, all of different styles and types. All use the same UV map, so any EvoX skin can be used on any EvoX head, regardless of shape or gender.
Neutral Notes
- The EvolutionX Line from LeLutka features their newest products and are designed entirely around BOM.
- Being BOM focused means you can’t use all applier products on them. Tattoos, hair bases, etc cannot be used unless they are BOM.
- EvolutionX heads are almost identical to Evolution, but they also include an option for HD skins. HD Skins (EvoX) use a different layout for skin textures, so to use your old skins you’ll need to switch to Classic mode in your HUD. HD Skins (EvoX) also have a separate layer to wear for the ears.
Cons
- The swap between Evo and EvoX in the HUD can be confusing to some users at first. Fortunately it’s easy to remedy and barely even a con.
