The Flower Trap

Have you ever wanted to say, "Wow, what a pretty... OMG! THE HORROR!!!!!"? If so you're weird, but you're also in luck, with the Flower Trap. This monstrous daisy looks like an innocent, albeit large and looming, flower. But once your guests click on it, they get an unfriendly surprise. Fear not, it's a GA item, so there's no gore, but there is some laughs... at someone else's expense. It's your room, you should always get the LAST LAUGH! Muhahahahaha!!!!!

Like all Furniture items, you can use the Furniture Controls to copy, move, scale, and rotate this item as much as you desire. Once you own one, you can use it as many times as you like, in every room you own, and place as many copies as you see fit, as well as scale and rotate it to suit your needs. You can not place furniture items in rooms you do not own.

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

Prefer Rain over a Rainbow? Wish those specks were a burning flame? Or a torment of BLOOD?!? 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):

This is the Texture map for the Plant's Body. Use this to make simple changes, like color or decals:

This is the Wireframe Template for Plant's Body. This allows you to see exactly how the Texture is applied to the model's structure. Use this to make a completely new Texture from scratch.:

This is the Texture map for the Petals. To redefine the shape, check out the Opacity Section:

This is the Opacity layer for the Petals. This allows you to redefine their shape. 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:

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.
