✨ Feature Requests

Currently I am giving away a lot of information and can not chose it. Starting with my account-creation date (rezzday), going over payment info on file, all picks tabs, web tab, 1st life tab. And, lets face it: a lot of people neglect picks tab, no one has any good use for the web tab and in the first life tab, many write simply "None of your business". Result: profiles are overloaded with useless info and info i do not want to share. Privacy is non existent. I can hide my groups. but that's it about. Why can't i freely select what other info i wish to share? And this is purely a User-thing. No content would break. So, script checkers that allow parcel entry only for avatars meeting certain criteria (age, payment info) will still work, as they do not retrieve that info manually from the profile.

I suggest an enhancement to the Bakes on Mesh (BOM) system by introducing an opacity option for BOM layers. As a designer, the current limitations of BOM force us to add additional mesh layers, particularly for makeup applications. This increases mesh complexity and necessitates the use of complex HUDs. Enabling opacity control on BOM layers could eliminate the need for extra mesh layers, thus optimizing mesh complexity and enhancing overall performance. Additionally, this would allow for greater flexibility and creativity, as BOM makeup layers wouldn’t be limited to one or two mesh layers (depending on the number of mesh layers created by a designer). With the recent introduction of 2k BOM textures, the capability to adjust blend modes directly on BOM layers would be highly beneficial for both designers and users. It would offer more customization options and improve the user experience. It would positively impact the creative community and contribute to a more streamlined and efficient design process.

I'd love to be able to have the body and my head shapes be separate. Right now the shapes are tied together as one shape. I would love to be able to say, purchase a head shape someone has created and be able to apply it without changing my body shape as well.

Currently when someone is wearing an avatar with a deformed skeleton and they change to another avatar their skeleton will be borked. Reset skeleton currently only fixes the visuals for the person themself and others also will need to reset skeleton to fix their view of the person. Relogging seems to be the only current way to reset the skeleton fully. If a full reset skeleton were possible via lsl it would make it super easy (via HUDs or scripting inside the avatars) for people to reset their own skeleton fully so that they are viewed correctly by all.

It would be really nice to be able to scale the our whole avatar with a global scale slider so we can be really big or really small without changing our shape valaues, Idealy this would act much the same as the hover height slider. This would also increase or decrease this scale of hitbox to match the new scale. Additinally it would be great to have a LSL function to control it like llSetAgentScale(float scale_value); or something to that effect that sets the scale of the owner of the object. If a permissions request is required I would be fine with that as well.

the use of the system default 'hair' layer is necessary for many people's appearance, and often misunderstood entirely as being what defines the shape of the eyebrows at all. You can spend time in appearance mode trying to edit your shape and your eyebrow/hair layer is what is resisting the look you are trying to achieve. Many people use such outdated layers that they never actually know what it is doing to their face at all, because it is not in the actual shape settings and it should be its own tab in that area next to eyes. Other than Philip it is rare to see anyone actually using the Hair layer as hair, most have to go through the hassle of hiding it, because it is also one of those locked in layers you cannot just remove and it should be possible to do so. In 2025 we should not have to have one on for certain shape areas (eyebrows) and to have to alpha it out so it does not poke through our mesh hair etc.

BOM layers that can glow. Would be quite nice and remove onion layering for mesh models and help save on resources. I know PBR is a thing but it does not allow the flexibility of BOMs. I have species that have different glowing markings and bioluminescence on their bodies that I'd love to be able to do in SL. My team and I heavily utilize BOMs so our customers can make rather unique pattern and color combinations. Shiny BOM layers would also be really nice.

With the eventual addition of skeleton resets being seen by all. I think triggering a skeleton reset on an outfit change would solve most skeleton issues when changing outfits. This removes the need for users to reset their own skeleton when changing outfits that may have deformers.

Skirts longer than mini are incredibly difficult to create and wear. The addition of even just two, knee length skirt bones, one in the front and one in the back would hugely improve the way skirts behave. At least I think that's the solution to the problem of skirts not working properly between the left and right leg, they simply don't move well. Just a suggestion. Thank you :)

As of now, there isnt a way to make alphas for items that use the AUX layers. This is very limiting.
