Making a simple avatar

First things first you need this tool right here



Now this is a sticker that you place on your imvu home page. for this to work you would need the latest version of adobe flash player it must be version 10.0.0.0 or better. To see what version, you have please go to the adobe version test page and update your player if necessary https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html


After you have place the sticker on your homepage it should look something like this.




In order for the sticker to work, go to the top of the screen and click on preview


Now scroll to your deliverance sticker, and click on CLICK HERE TO START!


After its done loading you want to check these boxes.

*Body mesh

*Auto hide

*Gizmo

*Centre bone

*Zoom



Then you start making your avatar. Every bone can be move to the angle or position you want them to move, once you click on the bone the Gizmo will pop up enabling you to move your bone to the angle of your choice. Back and forth, up and down, round and about etc.




when you have gotten to the point where you think that your avatar is good enough and you want to preview him/her save your work.



Save your work to wherever on your computer, make sure you can have full access to it.

Then you need to go ahead and save your XAF file that can be uploaded into imvu.




When you click on XAF a small window pops up, you’re going to select all bones



After you have selected all bones it’s going to prompt you to save your XAF to your pc




Go to your imvu client go to create make sure you have a derivable avatar, find where you save your XAF file on your pc and import it into imvu. Now remember the file test.xaf that we saved, that’s the file your goin to upload into the client.



After you have uploaded your test XAF file your avatar should look like that from the deliverance sticker on your home page..






On the next tutorial I will be showing you how to upload your avatar to your catalog in your shop and ill also show you how to create a sit pose for that avatar

Yep, I have all these stickers lol. They are huge for your page tho, best to stick it on a page thats not used to much.

Its fun to play with these things, my poses always turn out weird looking tho. They might be good at halloween when ppl wanna look freaky tho lol.

thanks!
