[BUG-230619] Separate Appearance shapers option for head only and body only.

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

 

Separating head and body shaping settings in appearance as an option to choose to apply head shape only or apply body shape only or apply both.

 

Apply Head Shape Option Only = Head+Eyes+Ears+Nose+Mouth+Chin 

 Apply Body Shape Option Only = Body+Torso+Legs

 

This would make customizing avatars easier, simpler, more specific and time saving.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

The appearance head and body shapers are connected. So if, for example, you find a head shape you like, you can't just apply it to your head - it will also reconfigure the avatar body as well so you have to go back into appearance and manually reset your preferred body settings which is a huge time sucking PITA.

As mesh heads and bodies now dominate SL, having the ability to purchase separate head and body shapes specific to different head and body brands/types and not have to reset body or head shapes manually would be game changing. It would allow more specific customization and would simplify and save SL residents a lot of time in creating avatars.

It would be great for SL merchants as well. They can create more specific shapes for heads only or bodies only.

This would allow SL consumers to purchase a head shape specific to their mesh head brand/type from one shop/creator and a body shape specific to their mesh body brand/type from another shop/creator.

This should also work on any full head/body shape that already exists as the apply head shape only or apply body shape only would only apply the shape sliders for head config only or body config only or to both.

This would also work for classic/system avatars.

It's a win/win for everyone.

For Lindens: I think this feature is already filed internally under SL-567.

Thanks! We have this proposal already in our queue for possible future work. Would be useful but not super simple to implement, so I can't say anything about how soon we might be able to work on it.
