Pros, Neutral Notes, and Cons
Other things of note to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- The body actually comes with three different feet options. The original is the regular Kupra foot option. T02 fits Slink shoes and T03 fits Maitreya shoes. Note that any non-Kupra shoes you have that go beyond the ankle may not quite work since at that point you are getting into the body shape.
- The lack of alpha cuts in the HUD encourages designers to make their own alphas for each product. This means they can make clothing that fits in any way and isn’t limited to preset cuts.
Neutral Notes
- Kupra has the benefits of defined curves while also lending itself to some slimmer shapes if desired.
- There are two options for small breasts and a nice flat chest option too. The small breasts have a pleasing shape to them for more realistic smaller cup styles.
- While the body can be worn all as one piece, using separate hands or feet is easy if needed. Simply use the Full Body to wear it all at once and the Body to wear it with no hands or feet. Separate hands and feet are included too.
- The lack of alpha cuts in the HUD encourages designers to make their own alphas for each product. This means they can make clothing that fits in any way and isn’t limited to preset cuts.
Cons
- The breasts take on a bit of a torpedo look as you go higher up on the slider. If you prefer a larger breast you’ll want to look into the original INITHIUM Kupra instead.
- Kups did not get as much support as the original Kupra did. While you CAN wear bottoms (pants, skirts, etc) made for Kupra, you need to get Kups specific tops which can be a bit trickier to find sometimes. The Flat option does not have as much support as other flat chest options.
