Using Blender 3D to create products for sale in the IMVU catalog
I have just come here to introduce myself, I am Mark Walder, I am a developer for the IMVU website which is a site for 3D chat and role play, As a member you are a 3D avatar, that moves and communicate by means of bubble like in a comic book. The whole site is based around a 3D environment, rooms, outside areas, clothing accessories and more the list is endless. Until now most of the 3D content has been created using 3DMax, a very expensive 3D graphics software package. I, with some help have managed to use the 3d open source package know as Blender 3D, to create a whole range of products to sell in the IMVU catalog, and I am now teaching other developers to use Blender to do the same thing. As blender is free it is proving beneficial to the developers using it as the profits made although very small (2500 credits for $1, or £0.50) so you have to sell a lot of 3d virtual products to make any real profit, although the potential is there. I now run a website dedicated to helping these developers, with video tutorials, written tutorials, downloads and much more. It is packed full of information to help the cause.

The web address for the site is:

If there is anyone interested in the Blender to IMVU developer program please feel free to visit.

I am there all the time, to help and answer as many questions as I can, and even to work one to one to help you guys be as creative as you know you want and can be.
