Avatar Complexity

Experiments with Ruth2 v4 mesh parts to establish their avatar complexity...

Experiments with main "Ruth2v4Draft9" (as at Draft11 10-Aug-2020)

• All tests are with mesh uploader LOD: Default Default 100 100
• Physics is either None selected or "Lowest".
• NP=No Root Prim; P=With 0.1m Cube Root Prim with 4x4white texture set 100% transparent
• Alpha Mode is Blending or Alpha Mask with Cutoff 128

No Texturing, No Root Prim, as Uploaded

Conclusions:

• Physics none or Physics lowest makes little difference.
• Physics none, PhysicsCube PhysicsTriPlane earlier established as basically the same complexity.
• Linking to a 0.1m 4x4white 100% transparent root cube makes little difference.
• Alpha Mask Mode Cutoff 128 adds about 1,000
• Alpha Blend Mode roughly triples the overall complexity over Alpha Mask cutoff 128.
