Prefer black latex? More muscle bulges? Less high-tech? Robotics? Some kinda SUPER logo?! 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):
The Jumpsuit is actually two bodies, one Surface Body and Subsurface Body. The Subsurface Body is used mostly for animated effects, with the Surface being used the actual skin. Holes are cut in the Surface Body via Opacity, allowing the animated effects on the Subsurface Body to be seen. It's a very flexible setup, once you understand how to use it. Carefully observe these examples and templates below.
This is the actual Texture map used on the Surface Body. As you can see, it uses the IMVU avie's basic skin as a base. The Hands and Feet are not used:
This is a "Grey" template for the Surface Body. This contains all of the detail work of the avie's skin without any specific details. Use this as a base for your new Surface Body design:
This is the Opacity layer for the Surface Body. 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. As you can see, I've cut holes in my design sparingly. I'd suggest you do the same, as having too many holes can cheapen the effect:
This is the Wireframe Template of Surface Body. 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:
This is the Texture used on the Subsurface Body. You'll notice that it's very simple. It's designed to scroll downwards, making the holes appear to pulse between Red and Black. You can use this image to change the color of the lights that pulse, or use it in some entirely new and dramatic fashion. It uses the same mapping as the Surface Body:
There is an Opacity image, but I haven't included here as it's completely white. You can mask the Subsurface Body if you want a body that's entirely transparent. I've done something similar with my Masked Body, just keep in mind that the hands, feet, and head will remain solid. If you wish to truely make a transparent avie, it might be best to used the Masked Body as your base, instead of the Jumpsuit.
This item shouldn't need sound, but 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.
