Avatars the Old Way (Wishlist)

Wish we could have the option of checking and unchecking a box (as in
previous older versions) for our choice of allowing avatars in the main scene or not. I wish for my world to show it the old way. Thank you. xelagMar 8, 2004, 1:55am

Avatars in scene, the predecessor of our current rendering, was a short experiment to fix a problem that could not previously be fixed: mobile objects = avatars could not be included in the z buffering, because they were mobile and the abilitiy to do that was not present at the time. When this became possible, it was fixed. Your nostalgy is well meant, but not very realistic... what was not possible but was desired to enhance VR at the time it was created has been made possible and has been implemented. Maybe we should go back to the early packmans? No controversy meant! Alex PS: there may still be some 2.0 or so universes around, that fail to implement the new avatars code... maybe they can help you relive your memories :) |
