Jacob's Ladder!
The quintissential staple of science fairs and mad scientist's lairs everywhere. Everyone is fascinated by the flickering electric arc that climbs slowly up to the top only to start the journey over again from the bottom. Named after a biblical reference of a stairway to heaven, it has delighted viewers for generations. Now you can have one without the high cost of electricity. This is a derivable version.
Texture maps are provided below to assist you in positioning your textures.
Under the creator agreement every developer has to agree to, you do have the right to make any derivations of the product derivable yourself. The exact wording states: "When you mark a product as derivable in the catalog, you give permission to every other IMVU Creator to derive a new product from your product. This permission also allows those other IMVU Developers to set their derived products to be derivable. You agree that since the original Developer in a product derivation chain always receives payment of their wholesale price, simply deriving from those derivations does not, in itself, constitute copyright infringement." It is considered courteous, and common practice, not to set products to be derivable unless you created the mesh or significantly altered the item in an original manner through the use of Opacity Maps, etc. I will leave it to your own conscience as to whether you follow that practice or not.
Textures are another thing entirely, and a serious issue in IMVU. To avoid any trouble I am formally giving permission for anyone who derives from this item to re-use my textures on this item only. This permission does not extend to using my textures on someone else's mesh or any other item except this one. I personally don't have a problem with re-using or altering textures when I provide them, but only on the mesh I provide them with.
The oscilloscope screen, and electrical arcs are animated. The fuses, flux chambers, and electrical arcs are opacity mapped. There is a small glitch where a separate texture is used for the bottom of one of the flux chambers. I haven't determined how that happened and it isn't very visible but you will want to texture that to something unobtrusive to your base unit design. A derived version of this appeared in the recent Steampunk Chronicles Bundle.

M03 = Second Metal
M04 = Speaker Grill (or other, texture positioning map provided)
M05 = Guages (positioning map provided)
M06 = Rubber/Insulation
M07 = Oscilloscope Screen (animated, texture provided)
M08 = Oscilloscope Border (texture positioning map provided
M09 = Base of the Jacob's Ladder (texture is pinned and centered so you can easily get fancy here)
M10 = Ladder Electric Arc (animated, opacity mapped, texture provided)
M11 = Cables
M12 = Edges of the Flux Chambers
M13 = Flux Chambers (texture positioning map provided)
M14 = Inside bottom of right flux chamber
M15 = Flux Chamber Arc (animated, opacity mapped, texture provided) this one could easily be changed to swirling mists or use your imagination.
M16 = Main Unit (texture positioning map provided)
