The Franky

You know what would really go well with this room? A fictional, electrically animated corpse! Or a lamp. I can't help you with the lamp, but if you want the monster, look no further then the classic Franky! Technically called "the Monster", since Frankenstein was actually the doctor who made him, this patched together, man-made man will stand around where ever you like and look generally confused. On command he'll storm around like the monster he is, before eventually returning to the same spot. Kinda like a street bum, only better dressed and slightly better smelling.

Like all Furniture items, you can use the Furniture Controls to copy, move, scale, and rotate Franky as much as you desire. The polygon and texture map resources for this item are very small, so you could copy it a few dozen times without slowing down the room much. His small resource size also means your room will run better and be easier to enjoy for all visitors.

Not fond of the color? Walk him to walk around faster? Slower? Paint him up to look like a robot? And how about some sound effects?? Well then, buddy, start Deriving! 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. Below is the template you'll need to get started (Right Click and Save As to your computer):

This is the Wireframe Template of the Body of Franky. This shows you exactly how the Texture map adheres to the structure of the model. You'll need this if you want to create a completely new texture from scratch:

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:

Also avoid looping sounds, as they tend to get annoying to listen to very quickly. Try to keep your volume levels low as well, as IMVU tends to over-amplify all audio playback to near ear-bleeding levels.
