I have seen references to limits on the number of prims you can use to build objects especially for building on owned land, but never any specific numbers. I am curious specifically about how many prims you can attach to your avatar, or at least a frame of reference for what would be considered an extensive use of prims. Not intending to build a massively primmed out av, just curious, TY

You can have 255 (linked) on each attachment point...so you can have alot!! I would not do it, as you would lag everyone (probally)..but you can  255 is the max size any linked object can be (made of 255 prims, joined) |

So, if you have 512 meters, you can rez 117 prims. 1024 meters gets you 234 prims.... etc. |

prim limit applies to land, not your av. The 117 prim limit for a 512 m2 parcel applies to prim rezzed on the land. What you wear isn't considered rezzed on land.

Prims

From: Kevn Klein prim limit applies to land, not your av. Total newb here...so go easy on me. So, if I rez my limit of prims, and 25 people show up at my place, I won't get lag? I thought I read somewhere that there should be an allowance of prim set aside for visitors. |

The lag you're most likely referring to is client lag, and is a direct result of how many people you have milling around + their attachments. IE, your video card is the culprit, not ther prims themselves.

The real question . . .

IE, your video card is the culprit, not ther prims themselves. Thanks. Good to see a fellow Michigander. I guess the question really is this: how many prims should I keep 'on reserve' for people. Let's say I want to open a dance club or mall, how many prims would 100 people being there at the same time utilize (a generalization of course)? I would imagine that the planning formula then becomes total prim allowance, less people allowance, equals the amount of prim I have for building, etc.. |
