Hi All, I am needing some assistance on how to create my own Avi Eyes. I already have the texture ready to go, however how do I create eyes that will show me as the creator? I used eyes from the library and applied my texture to them. It allowed me to save them however it shows the creator to be newbie_template Linden. Am I missing a simple step here? Please help :) Thank you kindly

By definition, a creator is a person who creates something. You may have created the texture, but not the eyes themselves. If you want to be identified as the creator, make your own eyes. ;)

Of course that is my goal.. I have created clothes in the past, but there was always an option to make new.. in the eyes I don't see that.. Any chance you can direct me to somewhere I can learn to do just that and create my own?

For others with the same question, when making eyes, hair, or clothing, or any other inventory item that is part of the avatar itself, you need to open your inventory and create a new item there, to get your name on a defalt copy of that item. Then wear that item and apply your textures to make it *your* new eyes, or whatever.

Also, just to save new eye-makers a bit of frustration, eye textures have to be rotated 90° counter-clockwise in order to look correct on the AV.

Why, you ask? Because that's how the Lindens made them. :D
