Avatar texture stayed fuzzy when adding new multiple layers.

[Greene Paine]

Viewer: 2.7.1

It's really annoying! When I'm getting dressed or creating new looks I like to add multiple tattoo layers or multiple other layers. But with viewer 2 these layers refuse to stay clear. They go clear for like two seconds then go blurry again and never load.

Rebaking doesn't help. Editing appearance doesn't help. Removing then readding layers doesn't help. Clearing cache manually doesn't help. My drivers are up to date. Secondlife is up to date. What is going on?! Please help!

Edit: I'm using cable.

Edit 2: I was having this problem with the previous viewer too. Also it never does become clear. I know it's normal for it to go blurry but it never clears up again. It only seems to do this with tattoos.

Hello Greene. You are not the only with problems with the last version of Viewer 2. You can download again the previous version 2.6.9 You can find it at the following link:

Do the textures clear up if you don't wear tattoo layers?

There is a bug in the viewer causing the rebake to fail in certain circumstances when several tattoo layers are worn.

Angel's suggestion is probably the one you want to try.  There are apparently some bugs in the 2.7.1 viewer, so just download and re-install the previous version.  You should know, however, that it is normal for textures to go through a few blurry steps before thay are fully loaded.  LL sends texture files to be rendered by your graphic card in four successive stages rather than asking it to render the hi-rez image all at once. That approach saves a lot of bandwidth and memory. The first couple of stages are sharp enough to let you see what's going on, and are enough for textures that you will only see fleetingly. It can take several hours before your card receives and renders the highest-quality version of a texture, however. Each time there's a transition between stages, you'll see the texture get a little blurry for a second or two. If it takes much longer, it's either because you have a connection problem or (possibly in this case) because the viewer has a bug.
