Wasn't 4.1 going to have a new feature that allowed us to use the same
avatars in all the worlds? I was wondering if the reason they stopped that
is because people might make indecent avatars and use them like in G rated
worlds. I just now thought of an answer to that though, have AW make a set
of special avatars, like 100 of them or something, that are G rated and can
be downloaded off the AW website and automatically installed into the AW
folder and used right there. Or, like the PK program, have another program
that people go to if they make their own avatars so they can approve them to
be used in all worlds. It would need special coding so people couldn't hack
in their own indecent avatars.

Hmm well the point is for people to make their own avatars. Dont really
have the resources to make a hundred avs at the moment without ignoring
other concerns. :) And this feature is fuctional, but as many have pointed
out there are some technical and non technical questions to be settled first
like:

What physical size limit should be imposed?
What poly limit?
What limits on num of textures and texture sizes?
What should be allowed / dissalowed?


And as most have already imagined each avatar will need to be aproved
personally and added. As most are aware, issues involving censorship are
always touchy. There is just too much potential for abuse with offensive
avatars....not sure we are ready for that yet :)

From what I understand PAVs will be something you pay to be allowed to use.
You could use your own (it would get u/l to uni server) but you can only use
one, low-poly preferred I'm sure (something along the filesize and vert/poly
of regular aw avs). You will have to keep your PAV g-rated because it will
be allowed in any world that allows PAVs which means any rating of world
that allows it.

If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me LOL

Sounds interesting. So the worlds that use it will have sort of a secondary
object path for avatars, textures, and seqs. I don't know if world owners
will have to pay for that, but as you said, the people that use them will.

I heard this when the betaverse was online:

Your own PAV will be *free* for the first time, then $20.00 for
additional ones.
