PLEASE NOTE: This version is for MEN ONLY. There is a Women's Skunk Head available, sold separately. It should work with most hairstyles, but won't fit glasses or other front-face accessories. It works can work with almost any hairstyle, although bangs can be an issue. If you want to avoid hair altogether, try my Super-Cheap Baldy Hair. The skin and eyes are "AnySkin", so they can be swapped with any skins you have. The Nose and Face Hair uses their own material and can't be altered without deriving a new version (Please see Deriving Section below). Please use TRY IT before you BUY IT to ensure it works with your chosen outfit! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't work with your existing outfit or body type.

Wish that nose was pink? The face was black? And how about some SOUND EFFECTS?! 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 actual Texture map used on the Nose. Use this for small changes, such as color. Keep in mind this is one half, so whatever you paint on it will be mirrored on the other side of the nose:

This is the Wireframe Template for the Nose. 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. As with the Texture map, this image is half of the nose, and mirrored on the other side:

This is the Texture for the Face Hair:

This is the Wireframe for the Face Hair:

It's possible to alter the shape of the head drastically. In the Editor, under the Meshes tab, look for Mesh Scale, and carefully alter the numbers. Keep between 1.0 and 0.7, in most cases, or the results might become comical and bizarre (unless that's what you're into).

The timings on the included animations can also be altered, under the Actions Tab. If you alter one of the animations using loops, make certain all of the settings between the Skeletal and Morph animations match. If there is no Skeletal or Morph, then don't worry about it.

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.
