Rusalka Writer Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I've noticed that rigged mesh holds on to a higher LOD longer than attached mesh. I made a headpiece for a weird avatar and attached it, and discovered that it dropped to a low LOD at an unacceptably short distance. Rather than fiddle with the LODs, I discovered if I rigged it it looked fine. Unsure if this is a bug or a feature. Attached: Rigged: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindens Runitai Linden Posted August 9, 2011 Lindens Share Posted August 9, 2011 It's a feature -- rigged attachments use the avatar skeleton bounding box when determining LoD. This is because a rigged attachment's non-rigged size as known by the CPU can vary wildly from the rigged size as known by the GPU. Synchronizing between the two takes a lot of cycles, so we just use the avatar skeleton bounding box as a best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
