Imposter distance suggestion
ＴｈｅＤｏｃｔｏｒ
Regarding the "Imposters" feature showcased in the April 2023 dev update, I have a suggestion. It would be helpful to have a feature similar to the ear muff mode, where players can adjust the distance at which imposters are visible. For example, if a player is far but not too far away, the imposter would be visible, but if they move further away, the diamond used for the avatar hider would appear. It would be great if this feature could also include adjustable sliders, like the ear muff mode.

This is already a thing, set your max download size low and it will dump everyone not force shown down to imposters, then use culling as normal

I would really like this as well. When I'm recording one of my live performances it'd be super nice if I could at least indicate how big the crowd is while still having performance improvements while I'm up on stage.
Also, it would be in keeping with how games usually use impostors to begin with.

This should really be implemented.
If you want a close test run of how this would look, set your download size and compression to the minimum gate.
I did this is in a club (which is a scene that VRC is going out of their way to implement much more complicated/abrasive disincentivizing methods of helping...) and I got to appreciate really good frames and stay immersed as I saw most of what people wanted me to see at an accurate scale and shape, with lighting that fits the world, etc.
So I think this should be at the top of the list really.

I was looking up how to do it hoping it was a feature. Well now I guess I have to hope it will be a feature in the future.

this honestly needs more attention, having imposters be a toggle inside of avatar culling would be game changing. big group events just dont feel the same when it's a crowd of gray diamonds

Wondering if VRC is aware of feedback like this? Seems great

now that the distance hider shows solid diamonds it is even more obvious at distances or in photos, so it would be nice if there was more options for how this is displaying, including as imposters instead of the diamonds

Well, that's how imposters are meant to be used in the first place, as LODs !

instead of diamonds why not use imposters instead? imposters are very low quality and dont use any features of the avatar so they are way less likely to crash anyone at all

Loppy The Bunny They still have the networked IK, so they're not

as performant, but yeah, should definitely be an option, it's still far better performance than having 30 avatars in the distance without LODs.Loppy The Bunny
Swinglywould be less laggy though xP

It would be really nice if this system was implemented as a toggle for avatar culling. Can still see the avatars as impostors when they are culled by distance creating a LOD system or culled by nearest amount of players which still allows you to kinda see the rest of the avatars around you with little impact on your system
