Sinespace Updates Avatar Graphics, Animations & Clothing/Accessory Quality

Sinespace, the upcoming MMO/social VR platform (and proud NWN partner) recently pushed a major update full of new and improved features, starting with a major improvement to avatar graphic quality: 

We've dramatically increased the polycount on our avatars in this update, but not just that - we've also increased animation quality, added new sliders, better support for tattoo and makeup layers and more. Also, clothing creators can now create clothing with significantly higher poly counts thanks to the new LOD features added in this viewer.

Specifically, the Sinespace team tells me, the previous female avatar is 6855 triangles, while the new female is 43,202 triangles. Previous male avatar, 7358; new avatar: 32,020 triangles. 

Full update announcement here, some recent user-created photos showing off the updated avatar after the break. As always, if you have questions for Team Sinespace, post them in Comments!

I went into Sinespace yesterday to check out the avatar again because of this article. Yup, it has more polys, better animations and there are better skins than the last time I was in. But I can't help but feel they are polishing a turd here. The base avatar is still so basic that it doesn't matter how many polys you divide it into or how many sliders you add, it's still nowhere near what anyone could consider a next-gen avatar. Still nowhere near as good as the avatars in Second Life, which is almost 15 years old now. Sansar avatars aren't nearly as customizeable yet but they are far better than the Sinespace avatar.

I didn't have any expectations of Sinespace, but seems like project is developing and getting better all the time.
