The Smoke Bomb
(Despite the Avie shown in this video, this item is for both Men and Women!)

Need to make a quick exit? Well you can't go wrong with the tried and true Smoke Bomb! Popular with Magicians and Ninja's for centuries, this obscuring cloud of smoke allows you a quick exit from any situation. Avatar's will reappear after 5 seconds, or if you type in "SmokeBomb!" (With a "!"), your avie will stay gone until you click on a chair.

Commands:
"SmokeBomb" - to Vanish! (for 5 seconds)
"SmokeBomb!" - to Vanish (And STAY GONE!)
"SittingSmokeBomb" - to Disappear well Sitting Down

PLEASE NOTE: This item will REMAIN HIDDEN until you activate it. As such, you won't know you put it on until you type in one of it's commands. If you have found that the item isn't responding after trying on other items, make sure you actually have it on your avie, as it can be removed without you realizing it. The Smoke Bomb will work with both Male and Female avies, but are found under Male Accessories. This item also conflicts with any item that uses Channel 76 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. To make sure it works with your avie's outfit before buying it please use TRY IT before you BUY IT! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't work with your existing outfit.

Wish the Smoke was Pink? How some cool "Poofing" sound effects? Well then, quite complaining 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. Below is the template you'll need to get started (Right Click and Save As to your computer):

This is the Texture map use for the Smoke Cloud. Use this to make simple changes to the appearance of the Cloud, like Color:

The Smoke Cloud has an Opacity Layer, but I've set it to solid white to make the Cloud solid, so there's no template here. If you wish to have a more Smoke-like Cloud, you can use a Gray image, or reuse the Smoke Texture Map. Just be aware that a see-through cloud won't cover the avie's disappearance as well as a solid one. You'll actually see him or her vanish. Also, the darker the Opacity Layer, the more transparent the Smoke will become. If it's too light, it won't be visible at all. If you do change the Opacity, make sure it's a JPEG with the same dimensions as the 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:
