Important Note: This listing is for an older product line called HDGEN. GA.EG has a newer line out called HDGENX. This older line may no longer be updated and third party support for it has slowed. If I add a listing for the GENX line I’ll link to it here for your convenience.
This is an overview of the GA.EG Ava mesh head for Second Life avatars. Almost all the information also applies to other GA.EG bento mesh heads, however the photos are only of Ava, and the list is what comes with Ava. 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
- The HUD is really easy to use and nice to look at. It minimizes tiny as well for when you don’t need it expanded.
- Ava specifically is a really cute, young looking head. It’s great for teen avatars, but can also be dressed up for a youthful adult look if needed.
Neutral Notes
- You don’t have to wear an alpha for the head if using appliers, it’ll hide the default head when you put it on.
- There are a lot of separate addons available for purchase. These addons get added to your existing HUDs so you don’t have to wear a bunch of them.
Cons
- This is may be a discontinued line. Don’t expect any updates.
- The animations/poses aren’t super intuitive. Clicking them toggles them to be part of a rotation, it doesn’t automatically play them. Double clicking will force them to play.
- There aren’t many included poses and animations. You can always purchase more though.
- No applier eyes come with the head. You’ll have to either use your system eyes or purchase separate mesh eyes. There are free and gold editions of GA.EG eyes available.
