So I think it would be cool if objects could be linked at a greater distance. And also create groups so that way people that make things like trains or large Houses can keep them all linked together. And unlinking groups of objects, instead of just individual one.

When you modify an object, scaling along the X, Y or Z axis allows for a minimum of 0.01m. I propose allowing negative scales, which would otherwise mirror an objects geometry. Symmetry tools are standard in most 3D creation environments. Adding mirroring functionality would modernize Second Life’s in-world building tools and support both new and experienced creators. To have this work fully, SecondLife would have to support both negative scales and flipping the physics mesh layer on the server. Some use cases for this: Creating symmetrical architecture/furniture. Mirroring avatar attachments. Adjusting mesh without requiring multiple uploads for each different mirror axis. I've made a bit of a mock-up video which hopefully explains this feature request a LOT better! (this displays stretching an object, as well as 'mirror' checkboxes for each axis)

When uploading in bulk, all the uploaded content is just dumped into the main inventory at root level. When a bulk upload sends a folder from the client machine, a corresponding folder should be created in inventory. Folders within folders should, of course, be uploaded maintaining the folder structure. With glTF coming in, uploading textures and meshes at the same time is more useful, so more structures is needed. (My own interest is that I need to upload a large number of of textures for region impostors, and they all end up in my root folder. I need subfolders.)

Every day I watch the "complete avatars" category on the marketplace Every day there's 5 new avatars, all game model rips, generated image ads, generated 3D model avatars, or a swath of wrongly categorized low effort AI content. There's a few small number of users uploading a massive amount of marketplace listing, all mass uploaded game rips, or generated avatars, so much so, that it completely overshadows any genuinely created user content. I used to look forward to seeing artistic creations, or originality, inventiveness and ingenuity. Now all I see is 100 low effort avatars, and 1 genuine avatar rarely posted once a month. Why would this suggestion help? 1.) Lowers mass storage of irrelevant content 2.) Creates relevance, and helps with the tagging system as a whole, enriching user interaction with the marketplace as a whole 3.) Allows for more creative content with worth and depth. I know there has been a few posts on this already, but quickly the marketplace has become the last place people are wanting to look when purchasing things from other users; it lowers profit, it lowers worth, it lowers desire to even use the platform. more and more people are choosing to only go to events instead of even looking at the marketplace. its quickly becoming almost useless for its intended purpose, if everything on there is just 1000 bland badly rigged fortnite avatars, game imports or randomly generated AI characters, again badly rigged. Quality over quantity, any day, please.

In firestorm there is a tool to export prim builds as collada files, I'm not sure if a similar tool is available in the official viewer at all. But this functionality is extremely useful for mesh creators to create scale mockups of their builds that can later be imported into 3D software like blender. However, since blender is removing collada support as of Blender 5.0 a new tool such as this is needed. The GLTF uploader is great, but without a GLTF exporter it will complicate and hinder mesh creation in many ways. I don't know exactly which viewers has had this features in the past or if it was only firestorm that had it, but it is something that would be useful and/or needed on all viewers, which is why I think it would be great if this was implemented in the SL viewer first since that will naturally spread the feature to third party viewers over time. Personally I depend on exporting mesh in my workflow, so I will have to stay on Blender 4.5 until a new export tool is available that supports GLTF.

for those who aren't too code savvy an "in-viewer Node/Code-Block Editor" for LSL and SLua could be interesting and help teach people coding by letting them construct simple scripts they can then dissect to learn what each function actually does in world.

This is something I thought of while reading this feature request: https://feedback.secondlife.com/feature-requests/p/blacked-avatars-should-not-be-able-to-interact-with-scripts-in-worn-objects While asset blacklists are stored client-side, the list of blocked UUIDs is stored server-side, tied to the account and persists across viewer installs. This could be leveraged via script functions to create items that respect block lists and cannot be used by blocked users. As a security measure, a new permission (for the sake of argument, PERMISSION_READ_BLOCKLIST) could be implemented. This permission would not be automatically granted upon sit/attach, but may persist across sessions until the object is detached or permission is revoked by other means. In addition to this, there would be a couple of new functions for accessing the list: integer llCheckUserBlocked(key uuid); Returns a boolean based on whether the uuid is blocked by the wearer or not. integer llCheckOwnerBlocked(key uuid); Returns a boolean based on whether the uuid is blocked by the owner or not. list llGetUserBlockList(); Returns a list of the wearer's entire blocklist. list llGetOwnerBlockList(); Returns a list of the owner's entire blocklist. If getting the entire blocklist may result in stack/heap collisions, it might be desirable instead to use a notecard-alike set of dataserver functions to iterate through the blocklist instead.

Allow changing camera parameters while in and out of mouse look relative to avatars position. These changes would stay relative to the avatar and allow the use of mouse look for experiences such as flashlights, weapons, etc. I am personally looking to create a flashlight as an experience that changes your camera to an over shoulder view, and when entering mouse look the view stays the same, but allows further interactivity with mouse controls. You could also make a third person weapon that affects your camera in and out of mouse look. Entering mouse look would enable shooting functionality, but you could still maintain a third person view.

As a designer, I have made a hud to apply all PBR or BP parameters on faces of some items with one hud and one click only, and that includes 10 K textures and 2.5 K materials. In PBR, some faces of my Mesh items can't be set with a material, they "stay" in BP. Issue is reproductible on about 10% of faces on about 5% or Mesh items. Have you heard about that ? Is it planned to be fixed ? I can show you inworld if you need more info and/or some Mesh items to see what happens. I use Firestorm. I have the same issue with all versions of Firestorm for about one year. Yours, ophelatex.demonia designer and manager of DomiNation & Lilith shop ( https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/230382 )
