Hey all, sorry if this is a question that's already been asked/answered, couldn't find it.
I use Firestorm.
I noticed that avatar's complexity ratings vary drastically depending on mesh and the like, but it brings to question my own avatar that is fully mesh, jewelry, rings, etc and rarely has a complexity count higher than about 40-45k.
Can someone possibly help me understand why some of the (usually female) avatars walk about with 100k+ all the time? They take forever to load (I'm not running a potato, mind you!) I have my complexity rendering capped at 350k - Firestorm's default setting, which seemed reasonable - and I run into people even that high every now and then. Do they want to be seen, or what? And what exactly are they attaching aside from clothing/jewelry/hair that makes their counts so high? I'm obviously not trying to emulate that sort of count, but I am indeed curious, lol.
Thanks ahead of time for not biting me for asking. (I'm looking at you, ya meanies.)
