Kyla Fraenkel Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi! So I’ve noticed that on me and other avatars, the layers are glitching. It’s almost like there flickering so all of my tattoos and things like weird! Is there a fix for this or is this a viewer issue? I updated to the new Firestorm and noticed this. thanks!

Kyrah Abattoir Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Are you at a high altitude in-world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyla Fraenkel Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 My graphics were on low. That must have been it? I’m an idiot. I didn’t realize that would make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrah Abattoir Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It might be but i was more... expecting something like the loss of rendering precision that naturally occurs at high altitude (1000m and more). Alternatively if you where on low it could just be poorly made level of detail models by the creator, you have a picture by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyla Fraenkel Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Ooooh. I see what you’re saying. Yeah, I’m at 3K+. As far as detail models, I never had this issue before I updated to the new firestorm and I am wearing the same layers. Once I’m home tonight, I can take one for you.

MaxMare Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I know exactly what you are talking about, layers on mesh body? Those indeed glitch often and for various reasons i.e. lower graphic settings, more layers stacked one over another, high altitude etc...LODs are important in how we see SL mesh but not relevant in this particular case, this is alpha texture problem.... there are some half solutions, i.e. changing blending mode for top worn layer (most bodies have this), but in my opinion, masking creates ugly rugged edges which makes it entirely unusable...Sometimes re-applying provides a temporary fix... Anyways, there is light at the end of the tunnel , "Bakes on mesh " should resolve flickering even with multiple worn layers (BoM is similar to system layers but wearable on mesh bodies, you can read more about it in SL wiki and/or check BakesOnMeshVideo by Strawberry Singh) I believe official SL viewer has been updated already and Firestorm usually follows shortly with all new features...Your mesh body/head will have to be updated to work with this new system, some already are BoM ready, if you aren`t sure about the brand you`re using, ask in their support group, check group notices or their official web-site.. Ok this is probably more then you asked for lol, but I hope it helps:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyla Fraenkel Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Omg thank you so much!! I appreciate it. It was a lot but it helped as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrah Abattoir Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That being said, low settings shouldn't affect the altitude floating point precision error. Or at least I can't think why it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyla Fraenkel Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 This is when I sit back and blink in confusion as y’all figure it out. I’ll be home in a few hours and will post the photo then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrah Abattoir Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Are you sure you're not wearing two bodies on accident? It looks like skin on skin around the chest area, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Or maybe failing to wear full body alpha attachments.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyla Fraenkel Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 I’m positive. I did a character test and put everything on piece by piece. I changed my graphics from low to mid and it looks fine now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
