Creating a mesh head can be challenging, especially if you’re just starting out, but here’s a clear guide to help you get started. I’ll keep it simple and straight to the point:

Tools You’ll Need:

1. 3D Modeling Software: Blender is free and widely used. Other options include Maya or 3ds Max.


2. IMVU Studio: The software you’ll use to upload your head to IMVU.


3. Reference Files: Get IMVU’s starter files (like head or body templates) from the Creator Resource Center.


4. Texture Software: Photoshop, GIMP, or Substance Painter for skin details and textures.



Steps to Create a Mesh Head:

1. Download IMVU’s Head File:

Grab an existing IMVU mesh head (usually in FBX or XMF format) from the Creator Resources. This will act as your guide.



2. Start Modeling:

Import the head file into Blender.

Use the Sculpting Tools to modify the shape and design. Start simple: adjust the face, jawline, nose, and lips to make your unique look.



3. UV Mapping:

Once your mesh is done, create a UV map. This ensures textures (like skin, makeup, and features) align properly on the head.



4. Apply Textures:

Use Photoshop or GIMP to create your textures. You’ll need:

Base skin texture.

Makeup or extra details (optional).


Import these textures into Blender to test how they look on your head.



5. Rigging (Optional for Expressions):

If you want the head to move or have facial expressions, you’ll need to rig it. Use IMVU’s skeleton rig for proper compatibility.



6. Export the Mesh:

Export your head as FBX (preferred format) or XMF from Blender. Make sure the mesh is clean and optimized (fewer than 20k polygons).



7. Upload to IMVU:

Open IMVU Studio and create a new product.

Import your head file and textures. Assign the materials (textures) to the mesh.

Test your head with different avatars to ensure compatibility.



8. Peer Review & Publish:

Once you’re satisfied, submit your head for Peer Review. Ensure it follows IMVU’s guidelines to avoid rejection.




Tips:

Keep the polycount low; IMVU products need to be optimized for performance.

Always test your mesh in IMVU Studio before uploading.

Watch beginner Blender tutorials for tips on sculpting and UV mapping.
