This feature would allow creators to negatively flip an object. So if you wanted to mirror an object, like a corner of a building, you would copy the objects and type in the editor XYZ SIZE window - (negative) before the number to flip it. Very useful with structures and would save a lot of time on imports and texturing.

Hi can you please increase inventory trade system limit from 42 items to 1000 plus?

True instancing is when multiple copies of the same object share one set of geometry and material data in memory, allowing the system to draw them all with a single instruction. This drastically reduces CPU and GPU overhead compared to spawning full individual copies, making it ideal for rendering many identical objects like trees, crates, or bullets. ....this essentially lets you use anything as much as you want for free GPU rendering and performance heavy detailed items. Not to be confused with Material instancing, which is the same exact process where the only new relevance is the values changing such is if you hue shift something blue or red using the GPU (from a white/grey texture with a white/black layer map) So for example in second life this could function like so: 1 object in a build lets say a detailed column. it can then be set as the Instance Root and have Instance Child objects all connected to 1 thing, no matter which of them you make edits too it all happens to the root object and all child Instances part of this specialized new link-set are changed to match. 1 column lets say 4 land impact and you can rez as many columns as you like and it only counts towards the 1 column that its 4 land impact.

Light cast by projector lamps leak on the other side of walls, floors, ceiling. This happens both on prim and mesh surfaces. Attached picture shows light leaking on ground floor ceiling from light cast by a ceiling projector lamp in first floor in a linden home. To avoid this only solution seems to dial down the intensity of the lamp, which eliminates the cool lit floor effect ◑︿◐

1) vertex/face snapping: Being able to either select a Vertex/face on an object then snap to another object's vertex/face or once activated just snap any vertex/face to another object. There are many use cases for this like, Prim snapping, modular parts for structures, road, path, walls and fence sets, could even be used for clothing and wearables on avatars. 2) Pivot snapping: Being able to move the (translation gizmo) pivot point to any vertex on an object, this would be useful for adjusting anything that rotates in XYZ, like a door or window. These two features could be part of a snapping tool set.

Reflection probes are lovely and nice when set up with tremendous precision, but getting them to work inside any building more interesting than a rectangular prism is a difficult usability problem. To see the effect the probes are having, we need them invisible, and of course it's very hard to precisely adjust the edges of invisible things. But when we turn on probe highlighting, the whole interior of buildings goes overlapping shades of yellow, making it imposible to see how the probes are affecting the lighting. Or, basically: Setting probes up is insanely finicky, and just not a good user experience. Suggested solution: "Fill with Probes." Some kind of Build Menu tool that very simply tries a one-time task of using one or more box-shapes, scaled and rotated, opverlapping, to fill in the area inside the selected object. This combination shape is then set as probes. Basically, instead of the builder trying to manually rotate and stretch edges of probes onto mesh in an editing environment that has no mesh snapping, a viewer-based took that knows where the nearest edges of the mesh are located can do it for us.

Adding the .gif files to the allowed list to upload, letting us create animated particles, textures without the classic LSL moving into the same framed image

I've been working on coming back into Second Life after a prolonged stint away due to work arrangements and in doing so hope to bring several new creators along with me into what feels like a wonderful revival of the Second Life platform. Unfortunately, the landscape remains (in my opinion) extremely anti-newbie. To look good or create in Second Life requires such an immense hand-hold through all of the tiny nuances throughout the platform and the differences between each creator's naming conventions of objects and way of organization of their items that it's very difficult for people to learn anew. Even for me, a Second Life resident of 20 and creator of 15+ years, I found it challenging to catch up with everything that had changed. With that said, there is a suggestion I'd like to make in the interest of visual-based learners and organizers like myself that I feel would help out everyone: Customizable inventory icons for mesh, tattoos, and more. I've attached two example images. One is how a Jian Pets product currently unpacks, showing all mesh/objects as the same yellow cube. The other illustrates how with existing emojis already added to Second Life, the option could exist where you can change what the object icon would appear to be - in this case, I've elected to change the animesh/pet objects to be dogs and the HUDs to be a computer screen. Other examples would include clothing icons, such as shirts, pants, skirts, dresses. Another would be a house or plant for decor objects. It may not seem like a big a deal, but I would argue this simple functionality for original creators of meshes and objects to 'label' their creations in a visual way would add a lot to the inventory management system that at present is very clunky and difficult to keep organized except by extensive inventory management, even as a non-creator user. Thanks for your consideration!

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.

Allow users to create and rez objects larger than the current 64-meter limit to support large-scale builds like floating islands or full-size ship models (e.g., a 270-meter Titanic). Rationale The 64m limit creates unnecessary friction for creators in private or controlled environments. Splitting large meshes increases workload during modeling, uploading, and placement—especially when iterating. Supporting larger objects would streamline workflows and enable more ambitious content. Implementation Consideration To manage potential misuse, this capability could be selectively enabled in certain regions or estates at the owner's discretion.
