Are your enemies everywhere and quickly multiplying? Can you barely set foot outside your door without feeling the burning gaze of a hundred angry, soulless eyes bearing down upon you, plotting your destruction? IS EVERYONE OUT TO GET YOU??!! Well, there's a pill for that... but assuming your medical plan doesn't cover it, try the Shield Suit. This energy based power armor will keep all forms of attack at bay, from bullets to nuclear blasts to wet willies! And it's hidden until use, so your enemies won't even know you LAUGH at their petty attempts to destroy you, until it's TOO LATE! Then you can hit them with a Purple Nurple or something. Oh, the Sweet Sweet REVENGE!

Commands are:
"Shield" - This Covers your avie in pulsing energy for about a minute or so.
"Solid" - This Covers your avie in non-pulsing energy for about a minute.
"Envelope" - This draws up energy out of the ground to protect you.
"Devour" - With this energy that comes up eats your avie alive!

PLEASE NOTE: This item will work equally well with Male and Female avies, but is found under Male Accessories because IMVU lacks a Uni- category. This item conflicts with any item that uses Channel 66 in the avie's body. Extremely few items replace that body channel, but if one of your items does it will either remove this item, or the other item. If you're in doubt, use TRY IT before you BUY IT! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't work with your existing outfit.

Wish that Energy was Slime? Water? Sand? Solid ROCK??? Good! DERIVE your own version! 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:

This is the Texture map I used for the Shield Suit. As you can see, it's just a long strip of a simple repeating texture. You can put whatever you like here, such as Water, Oil, Fire, Sand, Mud, ect. Just make sure it tiles well at each end, or a sharp seam will move through your suit that will look very unsightly:

This is the Opacity map for the Shield Suit. My version is just a Black and White version of the Texture. If you want the material to be solid, like Rock, then make this image all White. And if you want it to be very transparent and glass like, try using darker gray. But whatever you do, Don't Use Black! That would render the suit completely invisible:

This is the Wireframe layout for the Shield Suit. As you can see, it's a bit of a mess. It was designed to smoothly animate a material flowing down the body of the Suit, not to be easily painted itself. For one thing, the arm extends off the edge of the map and tiles back around on the feet. If you uses a non-animated texture, just be aware that you won't be able to perfectly shade your Texture. If you animate your texture, this will allow you to see what parts your skin will be flowing over:

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:
