(This version is for Female avies ONLY!)
Are you taking your avie "Back to School"? Well put those books in the cutest bag ever, with the Angel Backpack. This adorable little backpack hugs your avie's shoulders and back, and includes it's own little wings and halo, for times when you need them!
PLEASE NOTE: This version of the Angel Backpack is for Female avies ONLY! It won't correctly fit the Male avie's back. It's designed for tight tops, so baggy tops might shallow up some of the pack or it's straps. It also replaces avie body channel 44. Extremely few items use that body channel, but if they do, they will either remove this item or force this item to removed. Please use "Try It" before then "Buy It", to ensure it works with your wardrobe.
Prefer a Devil over an Angel? How about a Panda? Or a BUNNY!!! 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 used on the Body of the Backpack. Use this to make simple changes, like Color:
This is a "Gray" template for the Body of the Backpack. This template retains all of my careful shading, but without any of the detail, so you can easily design a new Backpack design from scratching:
This is the Wireframe Template of the Body of the Backpack. This shows you exactly how the Texture map adheres to the structure of the model. Use this with the "Gray" template to help you design a whole new Backpack design from scratch:
This is the Texture map for the Backpack Parts. This includes the Halo, Wings, and the Straps:
This is the Opacity layer for the Backpack Parts. An Opacity layer is like a Black and White Silhouette that controls the visibility of the model. The whiter this image, the more solid the model it's attached to becomes. Solid black is invisible, and gray is transparent. You'll mostly want to stick to solid Black and White. If you wish to redefine the shape of the Wings, Halo, or Straps, you'll need to edit this image. This image needs to match the layout and size of your Texture map:

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:

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.
