Sure, you can tell somebody what you think... but would you like to REALLY tell them what YOU THINK? There's no better way to smack somebody in the face with your opinion then with a great big old Sign in their face. But why stop at just one sign? The Derive-A-Sign is a pack of 4 hidden signs that you can whip out at any time to let people know EXACTLY how you feel about whatever you like.
And as the name suggests, it's fully derivable, so you can make custom versions of the signs to fit anything you'd like to convey, in no uncertain terms! You can even animate the face of each sign separately, for whatever crazy or psychedelic things you want to say.
Commands are: "ExitSign", "BullSign", "DramaSign", "StopSign"
PLEASE NOTE: This item will ONLY work with FEMALE AVIES! It will not work with Male avies. There is a separate version for Male avies available in the catalog. It will also conflict with any item that uses Channel 11 in the avie's body. This includes other hidden items, some avie animation packs, and a few of my weapons and suits. If you try to use any item that conflicts with that Channel, it will either remove this item, or the other item. So please -> Use TRY IT before you BUY IT! There will be NO REFUNDS if you buy the wrong version by accident, or this doesn't work with your existing outfit. TRY IT before you BUY IT!
So, Ready to make your own signs? Well then DERIVE it! Make your own versions, sell them in 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 are the templates you'll need to get started:
(For best results, shrink down your finished image to 128x128 pixels. People will old computers and slow internet will thank you!)
This is a blank surface for the rectangular "Exit" sign. Just use a dim white text that matches the background white and you'll have your own personal version of the Exit sign in no time:
This is the Wireframe for the Exit sign, should you want to make something completely new. This shows you exactly how the pixels attach to the model. This is for the advanced users, who need total control over the image:
This is a blank surface for the round Warning Sign:

This is an example of the simple, 2-frame animation I used on the Bull Sign. As you can see, it's two identical images, side by side, with small changes made to one of them. Animation is very easy to do and makes for a much more dramatic sign. Please carefully look over the my sample texture for the BullSign when deriving for clues on how you can add animation to your own sign:
This is a blank surface for the 8-sided Stop Sign:

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:
