The Moose Head

Mooooooooooose! Or at least, the head of one. You can't get more iconic or cliche then a Moose Head. Rare in this day and age, there used to be a time when no self respecting hunter didn't have one of these monstrosities in their home. Unlike it's real-life counterpart, this one is very much alive and moves around quite a bit, both on it's own and on command. Better yet, this one doesn't smell!

Commands:
"Yes" - Nods in agreement
"No" - Shakes it's head
"What" - Does an inquisitive head tilt

Like all Furniture items, you can use the Furniture Controls to copy, move, scale, and rotate the Moose as much as you desire. You could even fill a room with them... if you're nuts. (I DARE YOU TO DO IT!)

Wish the Moose was made out of Gold? Did every animation randomly? Looked around on command? 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 Texture map used for the body of the Moose Head. Use this to make simple changes, like color:

This is the Wireframe template for the Body of the Moose Head. This will show you exactly how the Texture map fits the model's structure. Use this to create custom Textures from scratch:

This is the Texture map used for the 2D Moose Parts (Antlers and Hair Tufts):

This is the Opacity layer for the 2D Parts. 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.
