(This head is for MEN ONLY, Women's version is sold separately)
Take a BITE out of life with the toothyist grin in the animal kingdom... the Piranha Head! This snapping mauled menace works with any skin, eyes, and even most hairstyles. It also includes a menagerie of maleficent animations to both frighten and beguile. Should the Piranha Head's brilliant smile fail to win their hearts, you can always fall back on tearing them out through their chest!
Commands are:
":pp" - to blow a Raspberry
">:)" - for an Evil smile
":D" - for a big Friendly smile
"LickLips" - to lick your lips
"Bite" - to snap ferociously
"Grr" - to let'm know to BACK OFF
"LickLips" - let your prey know you're hungry
PLEASE NOTE: This version is for WOMEN ONLY. There is a Male Piranha Head sold separately. It will work with any hairstyle, but the eyes can be easily obscured due to their high placement. It might be best to use a Bald hairstyle like my super-cheap Baldy Hair. The skin and eyes are "AnySkin", so they can be swapped with any skins you have, with some distortions. Some skins and eyes will work better then others. The teeth and fins are part of the model 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 those teeth were bloody? Fins Red? FINS RAINBOW?! And how about some SOUND FX's?? 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 Teeth. Use this for simple changes like altering color. The Teeth are mirrored, right to left, so you only need to work on one side:
This is the Opacity image for the Teeth. 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. Due to issues with IMVU's "occlusion", it's best to keep your image solid white and solid black. Greys can produce a glass-like appearance, but they will often visually clip out bits of each other and the background in terrible ways:
This is the Wireframe Template for Teeth. 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:

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.
