DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!
This product is a mesh intended for developers to derive from. If you buy it, you will end up with an ugly-looking purple face mask.
If you are wishing to purchase a derived version of this face mask, please check them out here.
This is the male version. You can also find a female version of this mesh.
This is the versatile, full-head version. You can also find an easier basic version of this mesh that has built-in straps already set up.
Welcome developer. This is a quick guide to deriving from this mesh, with some information on the texturing patterns used and several templates aimed at making your life easier. This mesh is fully designed to be easily derived from so that you can easily make your own version of it to fit your needs.
This derivable face mask features a full face mask covering the head all around. The mesh is designed to be extremely versatile, with a single texture featuring an opacity map and fully mapped so you can give the face mask virtually any shape you want. You can use the opacity map to change the shape of the mask, make it cover only part of the face, and set up straps to attach it to the head in any way and shape you can imagine!
There is only one material in the mesh, which has been assigned a meaningful name to make it easier to identify it. This texture is mapped and non-tiling, and also oppacity mapped. Also, the placeholder texture in place is set up to help you in easily identify what part of it goes where. Here's the templates for the material on the mesh, as well as a definition of what it is and its main characteristics. You can download the templates for the textures by right-clicking on their names and selecting "Save file as..." from the context menu. I strongly recommend you use JPG files for your textures.
The texture and opacity map is not mirrored, so you can make the mask and straps asymmetrical or any shape you want them to be.

This mesh has been tested with several different heads, both standard IMVU heads and custom, smaller heads, to eliminate clipping. Nonetheless, heads with bigger noses might show some clipping through. You should warn your costumers about that and encourage them to use the try-it feature before buying. Also, most hairstyles will clip through the top, sides and back of the mask, and the ears clip through the sides. That is very much intended, since the side and back of the mask are mostly inteded to be opacity mapped to turn them into straps or other elements that do not cover the whole of the head. Most hair bases will not clip through, though.
