Problem With New Viewers - Some Small Attached Prims Disappear

[Darla Fanbridge]

I have been experiencing problems with the newer viewers for some days now, and when I am dancing, my prim bare feet shows all my toenails no problem when zoomed in.  Now, the problem is when my prim bare feet are zoomed out, and my avatar dances towards my screen, some of the prim toenails disappear.  It's an issue, though not as big on Viewer 2, but worse on Firestorm.

I tried adjusting the draw distance, and nothing.  What should I do to fix this issue?

Darla! 

We miss you at Ambrosia! 

ETA: Adjust your LOD Factor to 4.00.  You can find that on the Quick Preferences on your lower toolbar.

Hello Darla. Venus is right. I don't not so familiar with Firestorm but i can answer for Viewer 3. In V3 if you want your sculpted prims to look right from any distance you find the option under Advanced Menu (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D) --> Show debug settings --> RenderVolumeLODFactor --> set the value to 4000

the issue itself is a lot of sculpts are actually not made  to stay rezzed from a distance..so we have to up our RenderVolumeLODFactor to keep them rezzed..

if they are made correctly it won't happen  as quickly when you move away from them..

they will stay rezzed at a greater distance..

 

i learned that the hard way when learning to make sculpts and having to go back and remake all my sculpts LOL

 

you could go right to 4.00 or you could ease your way up to see how far a lower number does for you..

it may save on some resources..

mine is set to 2.00 and that works for me..but it will be different for everyone..

 

hope this helps =)
