[Avatar Complexity and the servers]

16 hours ago, Rolig Loon said:

The work of rendering your high-complexity avatar is done locally by each person's graphics card.  If a person has set her own viewer's Maximum Complexity setting high enough so that you do not appear as a jelly doll, then she has made the decision to force her computer to render you.  If the graphics card can't handle the job, any rendering lag is her problem.  Other people who have set a lower Maximum Complexity level will see you as a jelly doll and have less rendering lag. That sidesteps your question about the effect of your avatar on the region servers, though.  The servers have the responsibility of uploading your avatar appearance to each person within range. To the extent that every bit of data in the upload stream takes some bandwidth and a certain amount of time, your complex avatar is certainly adding to the load on the servers.  In a busy region, where the servers already have to deal with a lot of avatar information, your complexity definitely doesn't make things easier.

Excellent and kind explanation. I will radically cut down my AC as much as I can! Thank you all!

[Avatar Complexity and the servers]

Hello all *waves*

Since you all have been so helpful, I'm back to ask another question  Specifically, about Avatar Complexity. I totally get that a high AC score affects other people's viewers, and that if I'm wearing, for example, a 360K outfit, that many will not be able to render me or they will render the jelly-doll. I also read on these forums that some people's graphics cards can get fried (seriously, I did read this).

My problem comes in where I have a few outfits that are near and dear to me and score over 350K. As I said, I understand that a high AV score affects others' viewers. Does a high AV score also affect the server, as in making a club laggier ? I'm very confused on this. Thanks again!

ok work all done, please disregard this post.

[Custom cartwheel hat sought]

This is a cartwheel hat.  I just love them. The problem is, of course, wearing them with hair. I only need one hat (black) that will fit with the vast majority of "flat" or "head-hugging" hairstyles.

I tried to contact one cartwheel hat designer but he/she has never responded back to my notecard. I will pay you fairly for your work. Make your first offer your best offer, please. Contact me by notecard in-world at Mila00001 Resident. Thanks 

[love hats but need help please]

Hi all *waves*

 

I love to wear my cartwheel hats. However, getting them to fit well is....a challenge.  Example of cartwheel hat   

I don't want them to ride too high on my head or be a bit too large for my head. I'm trying to wear the "flattest" hair possible.

Suggestions ? Thanks all!

I tried that except not with those servers. I guess I chose the wrong ones.

["Login failed. Cannot connect to simulator" error]

It took me 25 minutes to log back in. Was I the only one who had that error ?

[rigged versus fitted mesh ?]

Hello all *waves* Hope this is the right place. I'm confused about rigged mesh versus fitted mesh. Are they the same thing ? Last question, is rigged or fitted mesh the latest innovation in clothes ? Thanks for your time and have a wonderful SL day ! :matte-motes-big-grin:
