Creator AMA (Avatars) with Enrico and Rob [June 25, 2025]

The avatar team recently deprecated layered clothing puffiness & shrinkfactor, which broke a lot of layered clothing outfits. Puffiness & Shrinkfactor allowed us to work around the problem of some pieces of clothing being too thick or thin, among other things. The “one size fits all” algorithm does not work and in a good amount of cases actually breaks outfits. Why is the team so insistent on taking control away from users on how their avatar looks when granular controls like puffiness did the job? When the change was announced, there was a lot of feedback pointing out issues with it.
