Hi everyone!

I obviously already have an avatar and I like building with him.
But I'd like to sell a few items, but under a different name, anonymously,
call it a third life, lol.
Is there a way to copy my objects from this avatar to a new one, making
my new avatar the so called builder?

Please and thank you,
Ryder

yes and no. one avatar creates the item and one avatar creates one prim part of the item, but it must be the root prim, send the near completed work to the 'root prim' avatar who adds this prim, when you click on the fully linked item it will show the creator of the root prim as the creator and owner. however, click more, more, inspect in the pie wheel and it will show who created the majority of the item.

Assuming it is a prim object that you created 100% of the content in the item with "Account A", you could use the Meerkat viewer to back up the item to your hard drive, then log on as "Account B" and use the Meerkat viewer to re-create the item as "built by account B".

That will at least get the prims and textures, and I think it will also get the scripts. If it does not get the scripts, you could copy and paste the contents of those from a full-perms copy given to Account B.

Note that the Meerkat viewer can ONLY back up items that you are the creator of all prims in, or that have only full-perms parts from other creators. It is intentionally not able to make a backup of stuff you don't have full perms for.
