…a new tool to hopefully induce people to reduce avatar generated lag; the Avatar Complexity Rating.

Complexity KB Value The notice that appears in the upper right of the screen just after login tells you your avatar complexity number.

…that can be removed when one joins the head, upper, and lower parts of the avatar. Whoever made the avatar for the Lab is no longer around. So, most of the Lindens have no idea about any details of the avatar. STORM-1800 is the most informative JIRA item about some of the problems in the current avatar we hope to fix. Another JIRA issue about the avatar is VWR-3432 – Improve Avatar Mesh. This one would like to simply redo the avatar and shape cont… Continue reading →

…ng with memory use and crashing. Avatar Complexity The Linden viewer added Avatar Complexity Information (ACI) a couple of versions back. Now Firestorm adds the feature. I expect Firestorm’s to be better. But, I won’t know for some time. I did learn that the Firestorm version of ACI normal, full, and don’t render an avatar persists across logins.

…by calculation from various viewers. So, different ACI values for the same avatar from different users and for the same avatar showing large differences, <=5k, are of interest to the Lindens. They would like to track down the reason. If you see them report them, JIRA. Whirly of course has an instance of just such a case. See: BUG-37642 – ACI randomly changes (often at login or following a TP). It isn’t hard to reproduce the problem once you find a… Continue reading →

…an Max Complexity were causing the avatars to render as jelly babies. See: Avatar Complexity Update Week 37. Whirly Fizzle thinks it is a bug causing their jelly baby appearance. It could be a bug. It may also be that Avatar Impostures are rendering as jelly babies in this version of the viewer, probably not.
