I was going to edit my message but I guess you aren’t allowed to.
Edit: What am I even saying, this already exists.
I forgot to add this as well:
This doesn’t include the benefits it can have in terms of:
- The avatar author getting more exposure on the platform.
- Avatar creators not needing to maintain a world every time they upload a new avatar.
- Users not needing to world hop especially with their friends to find new avatars.
This is even supported by the fact that content creators can already manage worlds and avatars through the website. So these options can be configured there, and it even can facilitate features in the future.
For example, avatar creators could charge for their creations with a small cut from VRC on a marketplace through this avatar search. Especially if it provides a way for people to purchase an additional license to download the base and use it, referencing the original avatar creator on their own in some way (probably by some identifier embedded into the base or something).
The possibilities are endless when you enable searching and content management via some interface. We can already see that with worlds.
