Eak! A mouse!

No, wait, it's actually a Dirty Rat! Enjoy the best rodent company money can buy with the very cartoonish Dirty Rat. This little guy has a MASSIVE 18 commands, Thousands of frames of animation, and enough charm for 10 IMVU Pets! He's rude, cute, adorable, AND deplorable!

The Dirty Rat's commands are: "Gun", "Drink", "Cheese", "Love", "YesSir", "Angry", "OMG", "duu", "clap", "hm", "hi", "bye", "nono", "yes", "no", "LOL", "Yay", and "BlowKiss".

Want a Rat with Sound? Maybe a new color? Paint on some CLOTHING??? Well then DERIVE him! Make your own version, with sound, color, and even outfits. You can even place your version in the catalog for slightly more credits then mine and keep the extra for yourself! How's that for a deal??? Here's the templates you'll need to get started:

This is the Color texture for the Rat's Body. Use this for small changes to the Rat's appearance, such as color adjustments:

This the Wireframe for the Rat's Body. Use this if you want to construct an entirely new Skin for him, or major changes like adding clothing:

This Color texture for the Chat Bubbles that appear along side the Rat during certain animations:

This is the Opacity for the Chat Bubbles. Anything that's white is visible, anything that's black is invisible. Alter the white and black areas if you want to change the shape of the bubbles. Just make sure the white shape matches your that Bubble's Color map:

This is the Color texture for the accessories, the Gun, Drink, and Cheese:

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, which is important because the Rat already uses up 1.2MB's of the 2MB file size limit imposed by IMVU. USE OGG FILES!!!

Shapeways allows anyone to create and sell real-life plastic prints of their IMVU models. I would encourage all IMVU developers to learn how to export their models for printing and setup Shop there, so you're fans can enjoy your works on and off-line.
