This is an overview of the Akeruka ADVX Halchar mesh head for Second Life avatars. Almost all the information also applies to the other ADVX heads however the photos are only of ADVX Halchar, and the list is what comes with ADVX Halchar. Other heads 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
- Akeruka heads are easy to use, and the HUD is similar to those of familiar brands such as LeLUTKA.
- The ADVX line uses EvoX skins, so you should be able to find a skin to suit your needs fairly easily! These specific cyclops heads also include tattoo layers so you can adapt any EvoX skin to the single eye style.
Neutral Notes
- The expression section of the HUD includes a variety of facial animations. You can also pause these to use them as static expressions (helpful for photos!)
- The included tattoos for making skins work with the single eye can all be tinted. If you can’t find one that matches I recommend making a copy of the Winter tone, and then tinting until you have a match.
Cons
- This head doesn’t come with skins, however you can use any EvoX skins on it. The skin used in this post is a free skin from WALTTEDDY SKIN.
