  We develop the average female as the base model.

  All releases come with derivative average male and the standing versions.

  Also find more models positioned and morphed by the community (cyclists, e-scooter riders, ... )

Getting Started

Download VIVA+ Models (latest stable release)

After you download, the base model (average seated female) can be found in model/50F-seated. vivaplus-50F.key is the main file. More derivative models are available in the model folder - seated male (50M) and the standing versions of the average female and male.

• For more information, refer to the About and Model Documentation sections of this documentation.
• The models are hosted and maintained on OpenVT. Previous stable releases can be downloaded from Zenodo.
• The model validation catalog is published at https://vivaplus-validation.readthedocs.io/
• Find the users' community on Zulip
