(This item is for Male and Female avies)
I hope you don't have hay-fever! If so, you'll find nothing but misery in the oh-so-pretty Body Flowers. Originally designed for my Vine Body, this item contains 16 flowers which are generously attached all throughout the body. It's pretty, kinda weird, and questionable useful. Welcome to my catalog! At least this should make some hippie VERY happy.
PLEASE NOTE: The Body Flowers should work with any body type or clothing, but some of the flowers might float or sink into the skin. It also replaces avie body channel 50. 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.
Not fond of the flower colors? Prefer Roses? Razor Blades? Pictures of Pee-Wee Herman?? 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 for the Body Flowers. Use this to make simple changes, like Color. :
This is the Opacity layer for the Body Flowers. An Opacity image is like a Black and White silhouette, which tells the computer which parts of the image should be visible, and which should not. Basically, the darker the image becomes, the less of the model is visible. You can use gray to make things glass-like, but due to errors in IMVU's handing of transparency, you might see other strange graphic glitches. It's best to stick to solid white and black:
This is the Wireframe Template of the Body Flowers. 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 map, and Opacity layer from scratch. As you can see, there are 4 sections, representing the four different flowers. Make certain to keep your new design inside of each of those four places or graphical errors will appear:
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.
