The UI for the new avatar rank limits in group instances is confusing. Currently, the interface makes users think the instance is poorly optimized rather than restricted by a setting. To avoid this confusion, it would be helpful to explicitly add the label 'Avatar Limit' to the UI.

Using the new raycast component, set the Collision Mode to anything involving players. (Modes tested: 'Hit Players', 'Hit Worlds and Players', 'Hit Custom Layers - Everything', 'Hit Custom Layers - Player, LocalPlayer') Attempt to view the collision in-game. When attempting to collide with another player, the collision is only visible to the player the raycast is colliding with; no one else. All test were on Build 1818 on PC. Video of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHjRiAfAuHc In the video, the Collision Mode was set to 'Hit Custom Layers - Everything'

Since we now have a looks system for saving presets for avatar accessories, it would be an excellent opportunity to extend this feature to cover the much-requested feature of saving avatar parameter presets. As an example: Editing a look should show the avatar in it current state (instead of the default as it does now) or perhaps there should be a button to sync the state to match how it is in game. Saving the look should save all saved parameters to the look. And loading a look should restore all saved parameters to those saved values, along with the attached accessories. This would also solve the issue of default-disabled transforms not showing up in the looks editor. This would be a big boon especially to marketplace avatars, who currently have to implement complex animator systems to provide save slots.

Avatar Performance Gating is a very useful tool for events and gatherings, but currently it appears to be limited to Group Instances. I would like to request that VRC+ users be allowed to enable Avatar Performance Gating when they host non-Group instances, such as Friends+, Friends, Invite+, or Invite instances. Many small gatherings are not organized through a Group. For example: casual friend gatherings small community meetups creator test sessions temporary events that do not need a permanent Group gatherings where the host wants some performance control, but does not want to manage Group roles or Group membership In these cases, creating a Group just to access Avatar Performance Gating feels like unnecessary overhead. The host may simply want to say, “please keep avatars within this performance level for this instance,” without turning the gathering into a formal Group event. This would also make sense as a VRC+ hosting feature. VRC+ users already receive instance-related benefits, and allowing them to apply Avatar Performance Gating to instances they personally host would give them a practical tool for improving comfort and performance for everyone attending. To avoid interfering with the existing Group Instance system, this could be limited in scope: only the instance creator / host can configure it only available while creating the instance, or through instance settings no role-based bypass system for non-Group instances no persistent configuration beyond that instance Group Instances can keep their more advanced role and permission controls This would not replace Group Instance moderation or event tools. It would simply provide a lightweight option for smaller, temporary, or friend-based gatherings where a full Group setup is unnecessary. Avatar performance issues can strongly affect comfort, especially in larger Friends+ instances. Giving VRC+ hosts a simple way to set avatar performance requirements would help reduce lag, improve accessibility for lower-end systems, and make small events easier to run responsibly.

When saving and applying worn looks, both the accessories and the avatar are reloaded. Having to stay in the blue crystal avatar while waiting for accessories to be ready is not a good experience. It would be better to reload only the accessories, without reloading the avatar.

Pressing the menu button in the looks editor discards unsaved changes. It should prevent closing the main menu instead, or interrupt it with a confirmation prompt.

When I change scale on individual axes, sometimes accidentally, an item can end up with non-uniform scaling and produce strange visuals. However, resetting the transform also resets the accessory’s rotation and position, which is not what I want. Similarly, when I rotate an accessory unexpectedly, I may want to reset only the rotation, but that is currently impossible. Please provide buttons to reset rotation and scale individually. For scale, it might also be useful to have a button to normalize non-uniform scaling back to uniform scaling.

The Avatar Performance Gating is fantastic, but I think it could be made better by allowing groups better controls for what they want to allow in their instances. Like if they're not bothered by polygons but more care about skinned meshes and Texture Memory, they should be able to specifically select those to gate. I created quick mockups for UI ideas. Alternatively, instead of a big advanced option, it could be better, under the Good button that already exists, make a custom button that when clicked, opens up another UI or puts options beside it for every performance ranking with easy to understand drop downs for each one.

When I try to remove a look that is currently worn, there is no indication that it is currently in use. When I remove a currently worn look, the avatar is reloaded. This does not seem good for UX, and currently worn looks should be prevented from being removed.

When I tried the accessory editor, I was disappointed that the preview is not stereoscopic (it appears 2D) and the UI for transforming accessories is also entirely 2D, in VR mode. I want to see my avatar wearing the accessories I’m editing in 3D, and be able to grab and move accessories directly for positioning.
