While your own avatar should be the surest to load on your screen, it is actually the one you can never get to load. You only think you see yourself fine, because the difference between the fully loaded texture and the 1 stage before fully loaded, aren't of an obvious difference. We are only in SL because the fun part still overbalances the sad part to us.īut they are updating Second Life with new features, so always expect more things to throw you out of this balance. For every fun things you enjoy, there will be just as much of sad and annoying things that will let you down. One way to increase your chances that you aren't gray to them, is always rebake every few minutes, but even that means nothing.īecause for every time you're reloaded, there is always the same chance you will reload as grey again to someone, and you won't know it. Your own avatar is never fully loaded on your own screen.Īnd on other people's screen, you yourself is just as grey as they are on yours. Because I know I put so much effort into doing the best I can and I was this close, but actually I was failing at it. So everything I made in more than a year, wasn't something to be proud of, but something to be ashamed of.

So every single picture I made, was actually a fuzzy low quality, a three buttons hit away from being the top. That the textures only stay sharp for some seconds, then they get fuzzier and worse quality. I wait a minute, and I can't see them again. Then after a year of doing that, I noticed it when looking at my avatar from afar, I can't see my teeth. So i could be proud that every effort paid off.

Because I wanted them to be at the limit of the best I can do. There I was, spending hour after hours, searching, mixing, adjusting, changing, choosing, crashing, relogging etc etc as I was making lots of pictures to post.

Or when you juuuuust hit rebake and it haven't reloaded yet.īut then after showing it full quality, avatar reloads and stays in the middle quality. When you change an avatar layer and it just loaded for the first time, you see your avatar top quality. So while you expect that you're seeing your own avatar at top quality, you actualy aren't.

While there is the graphics options slider that has several options for the quality of the avatar textures, maxing it doesn't affect your own avatar. Your own avater textures may be never loading fully on your own screen and you never know it.
