I would love to see this option as well. I would like to see it have some flexibility as well. Like "Render objects on other parcels" or "Render objects only on same owner parcels" as well as "Render objects in adjacent regions." options.
How would you like the feature to work?
Check a box in the parcel properties and all objects outside that parcel would be not be rendered for anyone within the parcel boundaries.
To be clear, any objects which are rezzed within the parcel yet extend beyond the parcel boundaries would rez as normal.
Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?
This feature would serve several purposes.
First, it would allow for a huge performance boost for anyone within the parcel. Without the objects (and their shadows), textures and sounds from neighboring parcels, SL would have to render far less. This would also drastically cut bandwidth use for people on the parcel. This reduces lag and rez time for users, and it potentially saves LL from paying for unnecessary bandwidth transferring data those on the receiving end don't even want.
Second, it gives parcel owners a new level of control over their surroundings. For example, let's say I own a parcel of mainland and wish to create a tropical hideaway for myself and my friends in a skybox. At present, neighboring skyboxes will clutter my view and the only way to hide them is to erect a box or sphere around my parcel, using a sky texture on the interior. Except this looks static and ugly compared to the dynamic SL sky. Being able to hide content on neighboring parcels will give my skybox the pristine, uncluttered sky I want.
Third, it helps residents to create the illusion of privacy. Just go look around the mainland, or even many residential sims. People erect walls of prim or terrain, surround their skyboxes in large, ugly boxes or spheres, all to hide the outside world from their view to give themselves the feeling that they are in their own private domain. People have been clamouring for this for years and here is a simple way to give it to them which also happens to also provide the other aforementioned benefits.
