Picture Time? Say Cheese! The Photoshoot Palace, created by Acunninglinguist, is one of my favorite rooms to take pictures in.

This place is perfect for anyone looking for a good time and some nice dancing spots. You could even spend some time just hanging around on the tree of darkness, right in the middle of Danse Macabre. Come in and hang out with some friends, watch the dancers do their thing, or get out on the dance floor and shake what you got.

If you are new to creating, or want to improve your catalog icons, here are some basic tips on how to take clear, sharp photos for your IMVU products.Ĭatalog icons are the small icons (100×80 pixels in size) that you see while browsing the classic catalog and/or the desktop version.Ever been up late one night on IMVU wanting to have some fun? Ever wondered where everyone goes to have a good chat and lounge around with friends? Well I did some research of my own, and here are some of the hottest places to be seen on IMVU!Ĭalling all AP holders: this is the lounge for you! Danse Macabre, owned by the one and only Macabre herself, is a Gothic-themed nightclub with an atmosphere of true darkness. These images are very important as almost 50% of users still use an IMVU version (browser or desktop client) that is based on catalog icons to purchase goods. That is almost half of the buyers that will see the catalog icon first, and not the Next version of the product. Note: As of August 2021, there are two versions of IMVU available for users. The one is the old, classic version of IMVU where users shop based on catalog icons (left picture) and the new version of IMVU, IMVU Next where users are shown a preview of the item on a standard, white avatar (right picture).

Prepare your avatar Choose the right items or take off items that cover the product you want to showcase Note that catalog icons are still used in IMVU classic, Mac and PC versions and the classic IMVU catalog available on browsers. You want to showcase a specific product, therefore the avatar model should emphasize the product you want to sell.īelow is an avatar dressed in a sweet way, nothing wrong with the outfit itself. However, the initial outfit we started with is not good to showcase the top that I want to add to the catalog. The necklace is stunning, however, for taking a picture of the top, the necklace is ruining the composition because it’s covering a significant part of the top which should be the product standing out in the icon. On the other hand, the skirt is not appropriate because it cuts a bit from the top and it wouldn’t really match the top zooming in on just the top and bottom part of the body. I removed the necklace and replaced the pants (second picture) to make sure I can put the focus on the top itself. The black pants are a good element to add to the composition of the top we want to showcase.Īdd scalers or items that can enhance the product showcased The pants are there in case the catalog icon shows a bit more from the bottom part and I wanted something black to make it seem like part of the same story. My top product is quite complex, as it has the black stripes going around the waist and around the neck. I could have added some arm bracelets or a small choker, but I decided not to. Instead, I added an 87% shoulder scaler to make the avatar look more feminine.Ĭhoose a pose that can showcase the product clearly You want to make sure the product’s details can be seen as much as possible, and given that the final image we have to work with, 100×80 pixels, the pose is very important.īelow you can see some poses which are appropriate to showcase the product and some of which are not.įigure 1 – the hand is covering a significant part of the top, thus many details are lost and the side pose does not offer any visual advantage to the product we want to showcaseįigure 2 – the hands begin to look like the important part of the composition, thus taking away the focus from the top itselfįigure 3 – the bottom part of the top is covered by hands, losing a part that makes the top interestingįigures 4, 5, 6 – the product is clearly visible, there is nothing to obstruct the actual item showcased In the example above, the pose used is already good enough to keep as a final pose to showcase the top.
