The Salmon Head
(This version is for MEN ONLY, there is a Female version available separately)

Something's fishy here! Get your weird with a side of tartar sauce with the Salmon Head. This aquatic head replacement not only has freakishly bulging eyes, but also full IMVU animation support, several of it's own animations, and works with AnySkin, so you'll be free to be as bizarre as inhumanly possible. It's so odd, people might not even notice how weird YOU are!

PLEASE NOTE: This version is for MEN ONLY. There is a Women's Salmon Head sold separately. Due to the shape of the head it might not fit certain hairstyles and head accessories. It might be best to use a Bald hairstyle like my super-cheap Baldy Hair. It definitely will NOT work with any glasses. Please use "Try It" before then "Buy It", to ensure it works with your wardrobe.

---------------------------- Deriving Section --------------------------

Wish those teeth were human-like? Bloody? 'n Gold? And how about some SOUND FX's?? 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):

As most of the head is "AnySkin", the only part you can visually alter is the Teeth. Below are the templates for those. You can also alter it's size and animation playback speeds to make your version of the head more unique.

This is the actual Texture map used on the Teeth. This image is only one side. It's mirrored to cover the other side, so plan for symmetry:

This is the Opacity layer for the Teeth. 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 for Teeth. 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:

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.
