Comments on: Avatar Rendering Cost - ‘heaviness’ of prim hair not a myth? http://www.vintfalken.com/avatar-rendering-cost-heaviness-of-prim-hair-not-a-myth/ Exporting an SL photographer's Second Life Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:22:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Cilis http://www.vintfalken.com/avatar-rendering-cost-heaviness-of-prim-hair-not-a-myth/#comment-136107 Cilis Tue, 07 Apr 2009 10:29:34 +0000 http://www.vintfalken.com/avatar-rendering-cost-heaviness-of-prim-hair-not-a-myth/#comment-136107 I'm willing to be the hair uses a mix of high resoluttion textures and alpha blends. Hair does NOT need to have 1024 resolution textures, most avatar skins are only 512 for example. Hair makers can make some nice things but their cluelessness to rendering costs... Gah, just boggles the mind. An interesting test might be taking that 5000+ ARC hair and turning it's textures to plywood. I'd be willing to bet the ARC goes way down.
