So I had a thought on how this could be achieved. All we really need is an extra slider that magnifies the size of everything by percentage. So the relative size of everything is in the same proportions, just the avatar itself can be made bigger or smaller. I haven't heard anything more on the progress on this subject other than the mention it was accepted. It would be nice to know if this will make it though to second life in a future update anytime soon. I really think this could be a wonderful addition to second life communities and avatar creation.
How would you like the feature to work?
Hi
As many of you should know there's a limit to how big or small the linden skeleton/shape can go. This has caused a lot of controversy for those in SL that try to make very large avatars or very small ones. In many ways they have to "cheat" the system to get this to happen. Also this makes it harder to animate these avatars once made. I am proposing that the limit of avatar size be unlocked. This will help content creators with making new content and allow them to make use of the bento system for rigging larger and smaller avatars easier.
Now I know there's a worry about how will estate managers handle a random griefer person from teleporting onto their land and stomping on everyone at 100 feet in size. For this I propose the solution of adding avatar size limits to land settings. This will mean that estate owners can choose whether they allow anyone on their land that might be too big.
Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?
Please consider this option. SL has been around for over a decade and I believe this could be a good improvement for content creators and the many that have interest in modifying their avatar this way. There is Large community of people on SL that in particular like to make their avatars larger. Allowing them an easier way to do this will help grow this community
