			=== Avatar preview improvements ===

			A request proposes raising the camera used in avatar previews, instead of the current bottom-up view focused on the lower half of the body.<ref name="Canny1642AvatarPreview">[https://feedback.vrchat.com/avatar-marketplace/p/1642-camera-angle-avatar-preview "[1642] Camera Angle Avatar Preview"] on ''feedback.vrchat.com''; posted May 22, 2025; retrieved August 31, 2026.</ref>

			The thread is currently marked ''interested''. A staff update on {{Date\|2025-05-23}} said improving avatar previews in general was part of planning for the second half of 2025, with no promises.<ref name="Canny1642AvatarPreview" />

			=== World analytics ===

			World analytics is in progress at a very early stage.<ref name="CannyWorldAnalytics">[https://feedback.vrchat.com/udon/p/give-world-creators-access-to-analytics-about-their-world "Give world creators access to analytics about their world"] on ''feedback.vrchat.com''; retrieved August 31, 2026.</ref> A small test gives additional, rudimentary analytics to a few dozen invited world creators. That group is as many as can be supported without a full system. The test is intended to learn which analytics matter and how creators use them. Work next year is planned to use those findings to build a system that supports many more creators. Building that system is expected to take quite a bit of time.<ref name="Roadmap2026-08" />

			=== Portal exclusion zones ===

			World creators currently choose to disable [[Portals]] completely, or to allow them anywhere except the player spawn area. Work in progress adds exclusion zones, which are areas where players cannot place portals.<ref name="CannyPortalDropZones">[https://feedback.vrchat.com/udon/p/world-request-designating-portal-drop-zones "World request: designating portal drop zones"] on ''feedback.vrchat.com''; retrieved August 31, 2026.</ref> The change is intended for games and other spaces where players should not walk into a dropped portal. More details are planned for an upcoming Developer Update.<ref name="Roadmap2026-08" />

			=== Camera Dolly in Udon ===

			Worlds will be able to apply [[Camera Dolly]] animations to the user's camera, including pre-defined paths around points of interest such as stages, race tracks, or dance floors.<ref name="CannyCameraDollyUdon">[https://feedback.vrchat.com/udon/p/camera-dolly-in-udon "Camera Dolly in Udon"] on ''feedback.vrchat.com''; retrieved August 31, 2026.</ref> Camera Dolly remains a [[VRC+]] exclusive feature. World creators can still add Camera Dolly paths with [[Udon]] without VRC+.<ref name="CannyCameraDollyUdon" />

			=== Avatar optimizer ===

			An official avatar optimizer was removed from the August 2026 Creators Roadmap for now. It is expected to return.<ref name="CannyAvatarOptimizer">[https://feedback.vrchat.com/avatar-30/p/automatic-avatar-optimization-in-sdk "Automatic Avatar Optimization in SDK"] on ''feedback.vrchat.com''; retrieved August 31, 2026.</ref> [[#Unity 6\|Unity 6]] support is prioritized first because it affects the optimizer's features and functionality. The optimizer is also intended to work with popular third-party avatar optimizers. Optimization is intended to be easier without many new ways to break an avatar on upload.<ref name="Roadmap2026-08" />
