Cut your enemies down to size with the ridiculously big Battle Axe. This favorite of Barbarians, Knights, and the Short-Temptered will make your point and cut any boring conversations short. It's also good for chopping firewood, raiding villages, and 15th century divorces.

Commands are:
"DrawAxe" to take the Axe off your back and hold it.
"Gut" to attack with the Axe. (Use DrawAxe first!)
"SpinThrow" to toss out the Axe like a Boomerang.

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 53 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.

Is this Axe design a little too cliche for you? Wish the Axe made a "Whoosh" sound when swung? Well then DERIVE IT! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and you can 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 are the templates you'll need to get started:

This is the texture used on the Body of the Axe. Use this to make small changes to the look of the Axe:

This is the Opacity texture for the Body of the Axe. Anything you paint black disappears. Use this to remove the thick part of the Axe blade, cut holes in it, or alter the thick parts of the Axe at all. Otherwise, leave most of this image white:

This is a "Gray" version of the Body of the Axe, to allow you to paint in new color and detail without loosing any of my shading:

This is the "Wireframe" layout of the textures on the Axe body. It will tell you exactly how each and every pixel attaches to the structure of the Axe. Use this to create a completely new texture map from scratch. This is something best left for the Advanced users:

This is the texture used on the 2D, flat parts of the Axe. If you wish to add or remove new parts on this image, make sure the outline of your new shapes match the Opacity texture below:

This is the Opacity texture for the 2D parts. Make sure this matches the outline of whatever you painted above. Everything that's visible needs to be white, and everything else needs to be black. By masking off the Axe Blade on the Axe Body texture map, and then drawing in a new axe shape on the 2D image, you can reshape the Axe Blade into any shape you wish:

This is the Wireframe layout of the 2D shape, and how it wraps around the Axe Body. Use this to help guide you, should you want to change the 2D parts, or even remove the existing Axe Blade and replace it with a completely new, flat one:

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:
