Hi, researching on all the sites, I have found that there are bodies created by meshers, I have found the ISIS body which allows a better creation of clothes and paint and / or transfer the weights correctly, but I have not found any man body that has improved the body and can be used in IMVU, so I would like to know if there is any kit for the male body, obviously not the free one IMVU gives as it limits most of the creators and we all have to erase the body to make a t-shirt or we have to erase the inside of the pants as the skin gets in the way.
ISIS kit example:
This body is for use in Marvelous and facilitate the transfer of weights, I would appreciate if you could share some body for men or information to help, because honestly it is difficult to paint manually because the polygons vary and the body of imvu is different, this creates many problems and is limiting us too much.
I was thinking to take the man body and make a retopology in TopoGun3, make a transfer of weights and go checking, adapt the UV to the IMVU skin and see the results that could give this great idea, although, I would like if it is possible that the IMVU team takes into account this idea and make a new body with a better topology.

This is actually probably the first creator to ever even do such a thing, as giving out body shape like this leads to easy theft. This shape was not created by IMVU.
Every body shape you see on IMVU besides the original was created by a mesher in such ways as you describe doing so. You have to line up the UVs of the new shape you create as you've mentioned. The only reason the topology on that mesh is "bad" is so it makes theft harder. It is surprising IMVU hasn't updated the default shape as retopologizing is rather easy. But the default IMVU avatar is sadly very asymmetrical so no matter what you do it will be hard to work with as you have to make yours asymmetrical too.

@oka We do have it in our plan to provide improved avatar meshes for both male and female. We are in discussion on how best to approach this and release to our creator community.

I agree we need "NewGen" avatars for IMVU. I have a little different perspective but fully respect yours :)
They need to be designed so most (or all) of the previously made accessory items, clothing, etc. still fit correctly. Most "aftermarket" avatars brought into IMVU will not work with people's current inventories. Some (or all) standards need to remain.
Better, more high resolution Body Maps would be great! Everyone knows how makeup and tattoos are terrible. Clothing could fit better and have better "pinning" to the avatar but needs to be 100% compatible with current items in the catalog.
Maintaining a "low-Kb" standard is important too. Many customers around the world still have mediocre to slow Internet. Not being able to download large packets in a timely manner and may be hindered by high kb products.
Just food for thought :)
