(Despite it's catalog listing, this item is for BOTH genders!)
What's your favorite cloth? Cotton? Silk? Polyester? How about SUPERNATURAL?! Ditch those store-bought threads and try on the stuff of the GODS with the Ethereal Wrap. This ghostly cloth doesn't sit on your avie, it hovers AROUND them. Designed after the hovering scarves shown on Asian Gods and Goddesses, this hovering cloth will demonstrate both your mystical power, as well as your amazing taste. With looks this good, those mere mortals will have to advert their eyes to not go blind by the sheer spender. You won't be the Chosen One well wearing this... you'll be the one DOING the Choosing!
Command:
"Breeze" - Makes your already hovering wrap come alive
PLEASE NOTE: Ethereal Wrap is for Male *AND* Female avies! It's only listed under Female Miscellaneous because IMVU lacks a Uni- category. This item will also conflict with any item that uses Channel 38 in the avie's body. If you try to use any item that conflicts with that Channel, it will either remove this item, or the other item will disappear. Please use "Try It" before then "Buy It", to ensure it works with your wardrobe.
Prefer Black to Purple? Wish that cloth was chains? Want to turn the whole thing into animated LIGHTNING?! Well then, get to work and DERIVE it! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Here are the templates you'll need below:
This is the actual Texture map the Ethereal Wrap. Use this to make simple changes, like Color:
The Ethereal Wrap has an Opacity layer, but I have not included the image here as it's completely white. An Opacity layer is a black and white silhouette that controls how much of a model is visible. It matches the shape and layout of the Texture map. By creating your own Opacity layer image, you could make the Wrap glassy, or cut it into all kinds of strange patterns, like Chains or Lightning Bolts. Look over the Wireframe template below if you wish to make your own Opacity layer
This is the Wireframe Template for the Ethereal Wrap. This shows you exactly how the Texture map attaches to the model. You'll need this if you wish to redefine the shape of the Opacity layer, such as transforming the wrap into barbed wire or sparkles:
If you do change the form of the cloth into something else, be sure to change the Animation settings. You'll find these under Meshes->Materials-> Texture Animation. Scrolling works best for simple movement. Direction X and Y will control the direction and speed of your new material's flow.
To add sound, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Please keep your sound volume levels within acceptable limits. DON'T MAKE YOUR SOUND AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!! Loud sounds will annoy other users, and reduce your sales. Also avoid using Looping sounds, as IMVU has no controls to stop Looping sounds once they start playing.
Also please keep in mind that Deriving is not the same as using extraction tools and resubmitting. When you use tools to extract and resubmit my items without using IMVU's Deriving function, you remove me from earning anything off the sale of my items. So you're effectively STEALING from me. Not only will this get your account revoked, your credits ceases, your PayPal account shutdown, and get you into all kinds of legal troubles... it's also just plain wrong. Please don't steal from me. Please use the "Derive from Product" link and keep your account honest. You profit, I profit, and your honesty insures I'll be making many more wonderful things for you to derive from for many years to come.
