I could cobble that together in photoshop instead, but I like being able to just use an existing two-person pose, looks more natural IMO. If I make clothes and want to photograph two people in it at once-maybe to show it on a man and a woman, or an adult and a kid, or different colors-I'll put one version on an alt, and the alt and regular-me will pose together. The reference to "shady" is often associated with affairs etc and going behind your partners (virtual) back because SL can be like a kid in a candy store sometimes.

There are many positive and above-board reasons for having alts. I'm not sure the percentage of nefarious uses for alts versus non-nefarious, and probably wouldn't want to guess, anymore than I'd want to guess at the true % (outside of s3x sims) of males running female avatars full-time (like me). My other accounts are alts.īeing "an alt" can have a negative connotation, like an account you log into when you have something to hide, or you're spying on someone, or otherwise intentionally hiding your identity for some shady reason.įollowing on on Reanimator's post, the critical word in his note is the one I highlighted, " can". An alt is usually considered an account you don't use as your primary account.įor example, Wulfie Reanimator is my main account.
