Jonna Korhonen Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 For a couple of years now I've noticed that depending on what jewelry I wear, the prims may not show (to me) until I edit the item and even then it doesn't last. I recall somone once saying something about the size of the prims and how many and my graphics card but I don't recall ever hearing anything about any ways to resolve the glitch.. Is there? Usually the item is prim heavy with many small prims. Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Vuissent Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 No idea, but I'll keep an eye out here - I have the same problem. Hope you find a solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 You might try checking the value of your LOD Factor. The LOD Factor controls the 'level of detail' of primitives and will make seeing prims from a distance easier. If you use Firestorm, you can find the LOD Factor setting in the Quick Preferences Panel on your lower toolbar. The value may be set to 2.0 and it is recommended to set it between 2.5 - 4.0.

Jonna Korhonen Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Level of Detail is a sculpt thing.. From what I understand this is a graphics texture cache thing.. Setting LOD to 4 is high on my priority of settings to make in any viewer when I have to start fresh again. funny, I do use Firestorm but I still go to debug for my tweaks.

Venus Petrov Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 OK, I got my info off the Firestorm quick preferences wiki page. I should have added the reference. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morwen Ansia Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My LOD is on 40 and it still happens. Good jewelry too not freebie or dollarbie stuff. Chop Zuey and Zuri's when you right click it shows up but then if you TP some where else it happens all over again. I only noticed this happening when I started using Firestorm 2.5 and now Im using 3.0 Mesh and it still happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I have the same problem, and it happens with jewelry that has a lot of little prims in it, like an Earthstones ring I have. The stones disappear, I right click it like I'm going to edit, then the stones reappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a simple chain and pendent and has more prims than my hair. Earthstones is really nice but made old school. They are prim heavy and use tortured prims to get the size down. I have a few items purchased elsewhere where the chain and gems are a sculpt map and they don't suffer the same fate. ahh well, such is life I suppose.. as long as others see me as I wish to see myself, all is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristizia Demonista Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Same prob here too. Seems to depend though on what is loaded when, at times my Glasses (a LOT of prims) or allmost allways my Nosering (very few!!!) suffer from this fate. Strange! LOD factor definitely has no impact on this. (I keep mine on 4.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
