Well im just starting out developing on IMVU, yesterday actually, and im was wondering before about making my own products from scratch, being this I asked alot of developers on how to do this, and each time got the same response "if you want to make your own products from scratch you want to make a mesh yourself" and which left me to another question search on "how to make my own mesh" being me turning to the people I know I could trust, the mafia, so if you know of any programs to make my own mesh that would work with my previewer that would be great, any information would be appreciated

Google sketchup is free and works.

However, it is hard as hell to do.

If you really want to make your own mesh...I suggest you try shaping.
Look into learning opacity maps.
With the right mesh...you can make anything with an opacity.

Hmm, well ive looked into google sketch but it keeps taking me to a 3-D bulding maker which is not helping the developing thing, but opacity is something that I have not heard of, is there a certain program that I use to make those things function, or maybe an online tutorial on it, thanks for the info Don

How about some of them products that dont have any opacity map? (like some IMVU Inc. clothing but from other devs too) How do I add one to it?

If you wish to mesh and don't want to pay the $3500 for 3D max i suggest blender. It's open source. There are tutorials on how to use it all over imvu and the wider net.

You could also refer to this thread and get 3DsMax 2010 for free:

Or you could check out this thread and get all the help you need with Sketchup:

Which imo is the easiest to use, at least for me compared to the others I've tried, even blender.
