Values shown in grey are ones for which you have no limit (your limit is set to zero).

The attachment surface area in square metersĮach value is color coded from green to red to indicate how it relates to your own limits (values well under your limit are green, values at or over your limit are red and may be in bold type).

The 'rank' (how close the avatar is to your camera the closest is 1, next closest is 2.).

This displays three values as floating text above each avatar: If you do not have an 'Advanced Menu' at the top of your viewer, you can enabled it in your Viewer Settings under the 'Advanced' Tab. If you don't mind that others are not seeing you and would rather not get these notices, you can suppress them by using Preferences > Notifications look for the message 'Warn me if my avatar complexity may be too high'.Īctivate Advanced Menu > Perfomance Tools > Show avatar complexity information Your viewer is not told which of the others around you are not rendering you or what their limits are. The message will appear in a notice along with the complexity of your avatar and will be updated if it changes significantly.

The simulator will in turn tell your viewer to display a message to let you know in general terms whether or not you are being fully rendered. If some of the people around you are rendering you as solid color outlines, their viewer will report that to the simulator. How Do I Find out if the Complexity of My Avatar is Too High? Your own avatar is always rendered fully even if you are over your own limit (if you want to slow down your viewer with your own avatar, you can). Whenever you change what your avatar is wearing, a small notice will appear in the upper right of your screen to tell you the new complexity value. How Do I Find out the Complexity of My Avatar? See How Do I Examine Complexity Values?, but most avatars will be well under these limits. There is another factor that can cause an avatar to be drawn as a solid color: total attachment surface area. Any avatar whose complexity is above the value of that setting is drawn as a solid color silhouette and without attachments, greatly reducing their impact on your viewer performance. The default value of that preference depends on how powerful your graphics subsystem is and what graphics level you choose. To help manage this problem, there is a 'Maximum Avatar Complexity' preference setting (Preferences > Graphics). If an avatar in your view is too complex for your system to draw efficiently, it may cause your viewer performance to degrade severely.
