-{{KB Avatar}}You may notice that some far-away [[avatar]]s now seem to animate a little more jerkily than you remember; that's because they have been replaced by Avatar Impostors! Avatar Impostors are two-dimensional renderings of avatars, designed to improve the performance of your Second Life® client when there are many avatars on your screen at the same time. Even though the Impostors are two-dimensional animated textures, they do not look any different than the 3D avatars they represent- with the exception of your improved framerate, you may not even notice their presence!

-You can control how aggressively Second Life uses Impostors by adjusting the ''Avatar Mesh Detail'' slider in the Graphics [[Preferences Window Guide|Preferences]] tab.  If you move the slider to the left, avatars become Impostors at closer distances; if you move the slider to the right, avatars remain fully 3D at greater distances.  You can access the Graphics Preferences tab by selecting '''Edit > Preferences''' and clicking the '''Graphics''' tab.
