Increase Skin/ Full Character Category testing server upload size from 2MB to 8MB

Full Character/ Skin Category file upload size from 2MB to 8MB. Myself and others were patiently awaiting this feature since the wearable tool was available and I just built a new full Decentraland character for a client I spent months on, the character is all ready to go and when I went to upload to the character test tool, I was hit with a limit of 2MB for the whole character, which makes no sense at all.
The category combines head, upper body, lower body, mask and hat/ helmet so one could argue it to be 10MB as this is the maximum elements a character can wear but 8MB seems reasonable for now.
As it stands now I can't even test the Character to see how the rig's animation works, it's a big setback, I was extremely surprised this very limiting feature was included in the skin/ full character option.

Hi Gino, I've been reviewing this idea with the dev team.
Even though it seems simple, it implies doing changes in the way the client obtains profiles. Currently, it gets all the wearables regardless if they are visible or not, and then renders the ones unhidden. So in the end, the size is determined by all the (hidden) wearables + the skin. If we just increase the size of the skins, the whole profile would be too heavy, affecting performance. The solution to this is to first change the logic, so that the wearables downloaded are only the ones visible, and then increase the size limit for skins.
Hope this clarifies, we are going to shape this initiative and present it at the Betting Table for prioritization.
