Windlight making av's at a distance look awful?

I've been using Windlight because it handles teleporting so much better, however, AV's at even 10-20m away look terrible. Almost cartoonish. Is this something others are experiencing?

I guess it's a 'feature.' :rolleyes:

Isn't that the "av cloning" or whatever it's called? I know there was something about that on one of Torley's tutorials not to long ago. I think it helps lag because your viewer isn't actually downloading all the av details or something like that.

Av impostors

It's apparently adjustable via Preferences->Graphics->Custom->Avatar Rendering.

Av imposters


Yes, that's right. I knew it was something like that. You can turn it off, I think, in your preferences.

If you check the "Custom" box in your Graphics Preferences, you will see all the options that can be set beyond the 4 choices in the top of the dialog. The checkbox for Avatar Imposters is the one that turns it on or off.

I turn it off. I actually noticed some slowdown with it on. I dunno why, but it happened. I like to see everyone totally rendered anyway. There's a 'roughness' about the imposters that I just don't like. (>_<;)
