Avatar Rendering Complexity is a measure of how difficult it is to draw an avatar. It is affected by your avatar shape and what you're wearing.

KBnote.png Note: The features described here are currently only fully implemented in the QuickGraphics Project Viewer. See Current Limitations below.


Current Limitations

  1. Only the project viewer displays the notices about avatar complexity
  2. The project viewer provides an advanced preference to let you set the limit beyond which your viewer will not draw other avatars. Some earlier viewers had debug settings with similar functionality, but the feature has changed enough since those experimental versions that those older settings are no longer used.
  3. The project viewer displays messages to tell you about how many of the people around you may be rendering you. These messages are based on information from the simulator that ultimately comes from other viewers. At present, only the project viewer is sending that information to the simulator, so the messages may misrepresent how often your avatar is being drawn. The accuracy of these messages will improve as this technology is incorporated into more viewers.
