I would like for VRChat to consider the potential of using Avatar Impostors to help assist with the problem of using Very Poor avatars at a larger scale.
I believe that Very Poor should be an available option within the Performance Rank Blocking menu, and that it can be moderated with the use of Avatar Impostors and sometimes the fallback system.
You should be able to set a limit or radius to drastically reduce the amount of Very Poor avatars on screen, and if they are currently not “shown” due to those settings, they should fall back to their Impostor (or Fallback if available), and if they are
too
far (blocked by the original nearby avatar rendering system) then they should default to the Impostor or default triangle models.
Very Poor avatars
can
result in large or unnecessary performance consumption, but this can be vastly reduced if the avatars can be managed such that only a few of them are ever
completely
on the screen at any given point in time.
