3. Designer Support Tier Rankings
Female Bodies
| Tier | Body | Assessment |
| Tier 1 Best Supported | Maitreya Lara / LaraX | Largest total catalog by far. Years of back-catalog at every price point. LaraX is the updated version receiving ongoing new content. |
| Tier 1 Best Supported | eBody Reborn | #1 body by active grid users. Now the top priority for new releases at major events (Uber, Equal10, Level). Fastest rate of new designer adoption. |
| Tier 2 Well Supported | Legacy (f) | Established catalog, active devs. Free Lite version in the Avatar Library drives broad user base. Frequently bundled with Reborn in multi-body packs. |
| Tier 2 Well Supported | Kupra | Curvy body with strong marketplace presence (~40k apparel items). Well-supported within the curvy/thick avatar niche. |
| Tier 3 Fading Support | Slink / Belleza Freya & Isis | Still included in older multi-body bundles but rarely receive dedicated new releases. Not recommended as a primary body purchase. |
Male Bodies
| Tier | Body | Assessment |
| Tier 1 Best Supported | Belleza Jake | Single most-supported male body on the grid (5,400+ items). Best choice for maximum clothing selection right now. |
| Tier 1 Best Supported | Legacy (m) / Athletic | Rapidly growing. Shares dev kits with Legacy Female — designers who support one typically support both. Best future growth trajectory. |
| Tier 2 Well Supported | Signature Gianni | 4,400+ items, solid long-term support. Slightly trailing Jake but still a strong choice with good community backing. |
