We are delighted to announce the Avatar Welcome Pack, a starter wardrobe that will give any new resident a strong beginning in the often intricate process of creating an avatar. A number of Second Life creators have generously donated items, some of them crafted exclusively for the pack ...New residents using this pack will have an easier time because of some simplifications. HUDs are a particular challenge for new users, so none of the body parts or clothing require them. All clothing items come with alpha layers, so new users will not need to manually hide body parts. Third, the heads and bodies look great out of the box with no adjustments needed.
To get the Avatar Welcome Pack, well, if you're a Second Life resident, you already have it. Just check in your Inventory, and look under the "Library" section. Opening the welcome pack, there are four more folders: Female Bodies and Looks, Female Items, Male Bodies and Looks, and Male Items. Each of those for has several packages, They contain various complete mesh avatars, plus clothing and accessories such as wings. There's also a notecard on how to use the contents.
According to Ryan Schultz, the Pack was delivered by accident almost two weeks ago, which allowed those who found out a chance to walk around in the appearances and outfits for a few hours until the Lab took them down again until Tuesday April 22. Ryan would suggest that one reason for the bodies in the Avatar Welcome Package was that the Senra starter avatars introduced by Linden Lab a year and a half ago "were a bit of a failure ... They were a bit odd-looking (particularly the heads), and they stuck out like a sore thumb on the grid," and few content creators bothered making clothes for them, "So Linden Lab went back to the drawing board, and this time around, they
reached out to established and well-known Second Life content creators
to partner with."
