1). Please. Do not post in all caps. It is considered yelling, it is rude, and it puts people in a defensive mood. It is just as easy, if not easier, to express yourself with proper capitalization than with all caps. For example, it allows you to YELL just one word.

2) Avatars in Second Life will improve over time. There has been some information released on various blogs etc about some improvements to the animation of avatars for example. We also do have plans to improve the look of avatars, however I do not think any of those plans are currently in development.

It is important to keep in mind that what can be rendered for a single avatar, for a predone movie or pose and when it doesn't have to be 'real time' can be very different from what is possible in a real time environment with potentially many avatars in view at a time.

So yes, we will be improving the avatars. They will see some improvement in the medium term. However it will probably be a long time before they contain the detail of some of the shots you posted.
