The Proposal
(This item works with Male and Female avies, but is listed under Male Gloves)

If you want to stay married to somebody for the rest of your life, you don't just throw a ring at her over salad and steak. You get down on one knee and you do it RIGHT! Make that marriage really stick with a proper show of devotion, like The Proposal. This item will put your avie down on one knee, pull out a ring, and propose to whomever is standing to the right or left of you. Of course, you'll need a separate ring item for them to actually wear. This item is for PROPOSING, not for actually giving. One thing at a time, buddy! As for staying married until one, or both of you, drop dead, I'd suggest patience and understanding. Or . Maybe poison? How would I know? My parents got divorced when I was 7! :p

Commands are:
"Propose<" - Proposes to the person to your Left (Stage Left, not avie Left)
"Propose>" - Proposes to the person to your Right (Stage Right, not avie Right. Look at the arrow!)

PLEASE NOTE: The Proposal will work with both Male and Female avies, but is listed under Male Gloves. It replaces avie body channel 57. Extremely few items use that body channel, but if they do, they will either remove this item or force this item to removed. If you do have anything on that uses that body channel, it will either remove The Proposal, or the other item. Because The Proposal is hidden until used, you won't know it's gone. Please use "Try It" before then "Buy It", to ensure it works with your wardrobe.

-----------------------------------------=] Deriving! [=-----------------------------------------

Prefer a Ruby over a Diamond? A white box over a black one? 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 actual Texture map used for the Ring Box. Use this to make simple changes, like Color:

This is the Wireframe for the Ring Box. 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:

This is the Wireframe used for the Ring:

This is the Texture map used for the Diamond. The Diamond uses a scrolling image and random mapping to make the gem appear to sparkle. As such, it doesn't have proper mapping. If you make a new version of this image, just know that it's moves slowly across the entire surface of the gemstone, and it's not meant to be exactly mapped to each and every facet, but instead "flow" slowly across all of them. Stick to simple bars of color and light patterns for the best results:

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.
