I am a machinima/film maker here in SL with a primary focus on SL dance. I am frequently filming shows at very crowded dance venues. From time to time I am unable to see all of the avatars that may be performing in a dance routine. It is not a low complexity issue. They just never render at all and are totally invisible. It is not uncommon that when I cannot see one of the dancers during a performance, there will be others (not everyone) in the audience who will also state that the dancer is invisible to them. This was the case last night when I was filming a show at Winds of the Sahara Cabaret (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aladona/124/194/2002). One of the dancers in the troupe was performing in 3 of the dances and was invisible to me in all three dances.
I am trying to understand why this happens and if there is a remedy to prevent this from occurring in the future. Any insight about this issue or suggestions/recommendations for prevention is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
