Cloning Only For Friends

Instead of making Cloning for everyone, maybe an avatar creator or someone using an avatar can set the avatar for friend cloning only

While options are generally a good thing there is a point where too many options interferes with a good UI. I think this starts down that path. If I want to restrict cloning for a friend (why all friends after all?) I could just invite them into my home world (they are my friend) and do the cloning there.

Tom Leylan A lot of people make avatars public for cloning amongst friends but don't want just anyone to get those avatars or for them to pop in avatar search worlds. This is something that I think is a good idea for that reason alone. I'm desperate for some kind of "ownership transfer" or "friends only" cloning solution.

clinicalia The point was (and I wrote that) :-) why just a friends option? And using your example how do you prevent your friends (possibly 100s of them) from letting their friends clone them? A well-designed solution should ultimately be the goal.

Tom Leylan Ideally, I'd rather there be a one time use token system or something like again, ownership transfer, where the original author can hand out tokens to specific people. My main issue with avatar cloning right now isn't what you mentioned about friends sharing avatars with people - I trust my friends and most commission me and understandably don't want just anyone having the avatar, either. I take issue with avatar search worlds, especially ones where the creators of them make it difficult to contact them or simply don't respond when contacted. In my opinion, a solution for this should have been made and prioritized a long time ago, especially since VRC wants a whole "creator economy" or whatever.

Ever since cloning came out weve asked for something like this, or a "pedestal only" option. Its been quite a while since

Definitely great for totally-not-alternate-accounts and friends. Would also be cohesive to the friends list feature, giving friends of that user access to more content!

I agree with BadWolf, it should have similar functions to the instance types. though having it friends+ would be pretty much the same as having it public. you just have to be friends with one person who has the avatar to gain access to it.

It would be nice to have more options, I currently make avatars for friends and the cloning feature is way more conenient for sharing it with them, rather than needlessly making a private avatar world.

Or maybe alternatively, have a selection of choices for cloning like "Off, Friends, Friends+, Everyone" in the form of a dropdown or "next" type choice box.

BadWolfVR: Support this minus the "Friends+" since that makes no sense.
