Wish those grenades were Black? Flash? Had a Green Fireball? And how about some Sound Effects?! Well then, get to work 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. Here are the templates you'll need below:

This is the actual Texture map used for the Hand Grenades. Use this to make simple changes, like Color:

This is the Wireframe for the Hand Grenades. 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 from scratch:

This is the Additive texture Fireball. An Additive texture is an image that is glowing, and is brighter, and more solid, the lighter each pixel is. If you wish to colorize or change the detail of the Fireball, make sure your new image is very bright or your Fireball will be barely visible. You can not, for instance, have a Black Fireball using an Additive texture. It would become invisible. To make a black Fireball, you'd have to create a matching Opacity layer for your new black-Bolt texture and change the Blending Mode to Composite:

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:

Please keep your sound volume levels within acceptable limits. DON'T MAKE YOUR SOUND AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!! Loud sounds will annoy other users, and reduce your sales. Also avoid using Looping sounds, as IMVU has no controls to stop Looping sounds once they start playing.
