issue is vram usage, since impostors can use quite a bit. loading both the avatar and the impostor back and forth could strain low power devices for memory space thats already limited. it could work for pc, but may need changing to be used like this on mobile me thinks. otherwise, a very good idea so you get my vote

The thing is that Avatar Culling doesn't fully unload the avatar, it also disables the animator.

If an culled avatar has to be replaced with an impostor then the animator should be active anyway...

I feel as if this should have a toggle above the existing avatar culling options, as some people prefer the existing way. Perhaps a nudge for existing users, and have it defaulted on for new users.

I think impostors should fully replace the diamonds when culling and the diamonds should only be shown when an avatar does not have an impostor.

Impostors are a cool feature but not very useful right now, because in most situations where they would be useful I have to resort to culling which will remove them as well.

This is great idea.

Was literally just about to make a post about using impostors as distant LODs and found this.

this would be also a great idea, I was about to write something similar :)

Maybe add this as a similar option, example:

Set Avatar Culling to 15m

Set Imposter Culling to 50m

So we can finally see ppl again in worlds like Murder4 or Prison Escape if they far away :3
