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.

Thank you too. 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 :)
