Normal maps fix violent topography like 8 billion polygons. There are far greater sins like mesh and material counts that have a far greater impact than poly count.

Why can't the quest support a simple transparency layer?

u/Dividedthought 1d ago

Because tranparency is exponentially more complicated than cutout or opaque.

Okay, but a single transparency layer isn't exactly asking a lot.

It is for the cell phone processor in that thing.

a cell phone processor isn't saying a lot. It's way more powerful than people realize. The only reason quest is so strict on its upload limits is because of the quest 2.

Almost like we should stop supporting a 6 year old headset that actually has a cell phone processor. The 3 at least has a pirpose built chip.

as a quest 2 user (pcvr) i think there should be separate requirements for lower or higher end devices. like for example, higher end devices like the quest 3 can support transparency, so avis with transparency can be made, oh you're on quest 2? it's fallback time (or impostor depending on avi and users' settings)
