The All Heart
(Despite the avie in the Video, This is a product for Men AND Women!)

Always wear your heart on your sleeve? Who's going to see it there?! Make your feelings *REALLY* prominent with the All Heart! This large, cartoonish heart expresses the gambit of love-related feelings, from "falling into love" to simply "falling apart". If you frequently ride the romance roller coaster the All Heart will keep your friends up to date without the long, tragic story. It might not make them care, but at least you'll feel better!

Commands are:
"HeartPound" - Makes your heart jump out and beat fast
"HeartStruck" - Pops out your heart just in time to be struck by Cupid's Arrow
"HeartBurn" - Displays your heart with a burning flame
"HeartBreak" - Breaks your heart in half
"HeartCrumble" - Shatters your heart into pieces that slowly crumble to the floor

PLEASE NOTE: The All Heart attach to the "Root" Node of the avie's skeleton. There's a limit to the number of things you can attach to any Node, so it might conflict with other items which attach to the other root node, like Pets. If you add too many items to your "Root" node, the Spheres might vanish, or cause one of your other items to disappear. As always, to ensure your full satisfaction with this product, please use TRY IT before you BUY IT! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't fit your needs.

Wish you had a Heart of Gold? A Burning Heart of Fire? Ice? And how about some SOUND EFFECTS?! 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 Texture map used for Heart. You can use this to make simple changes, like altering their overall color, or adding special markings:

This is the Wireframe Template for Heart. This shows you exactly how the Texture map lays over the model. You'll need this if you want to make a new Texture map from scratch:

This is the Texture map for Arrow Parts:

This is the Opacity layer for the Arrow Parts. 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 Texture map for Arrow Shaft:

This is the Wireframe template for Arrow Shaft. You'll notice there are sections marked red on either end. This shows you where "Arrow Parts" sections connect to the Shaft:

This is the Additive texture for the Fire. An Additive texture is an image that is glowing, and becomes brighter and more solid, the lighter each pixel is. If you wish to change shape of either effect, just make sure some part of your new image is sufficiently bright or your new effect will be very dull, or even nearly invisible. You can not, for instance, have a black Fire using an Additive texture. To make a black Fire, you'd have to create a matching Opacity layer and switch "Additive" Blending to "Composite", all under the Materials Tab. And if you do wish the change the Fire into something else, make certain the top and bottom, and left and right, of the image mirror each other. Otherwise an ugly band will repeatedly move across your otherwise smooth flame:

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:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Please 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.
