This falls into the category of "wishful thinking": I'd rather see "clouds of gas" than some of the horribly-built furry avatars I've seen. :) (I'd also like to see an option to force others to become clouds of gas -- that is, stop getting their animation updates and the clothing/prims they have attached.)
If that could be a parcel-settable option, you could even have more than 70 people in a sim for an in-world event without bogging down the bandwidth and CPU of the server. (Parcel sets which avatars are visible, the rest become vague low-alpha 2D silhouettes.) Aaaand I've been awake FAR too long. My apologies. -Kyle H On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 1:28 PM, Arthur Valadares <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone.. > > I've been looking into a "bug" where if you get a brand new avatar and > create pants, shirt, shape and skin and wear all of them, you turn into > a gas cloud.
