Introduction
IMVU Studio is our next generation creator tool, currently in development. It will serve as the foundation for new features and optimizations on IMVU Desktop and Mobile, allowing Creators to take their products to a whole new level.
Dec 09, 2020 What is macOS 10.15 Catalina? Released on October 7th, 2019, macOS 10.15 Catalina is the latest version of the Mac operating system. Just like each macOS update in the past, Apple has created Catalina with more features and optimizations to improve your Mac experience. IMVU has reached 50 million registered users. You can play games, dress up your avatar, shop, decorate your room, create your own personalized look, and connect with new people around the world. IMVU is easy to use! Just download the FREE software onto your computer to get started.
We are offering IMVU Studio as an early Beta, introducing several new features including normal and specular maps, new lighting and a fresh new user interface.
What To Expect from Beta
IMVU Studio is a new platform built from the ground up for both Mac and Windows. Expect to encounter bugs, stability and performance issues. Studio will be continuously updated during this phase and quality will improve with each iteration. We will also be rolling out key features as we move through Beta.
We strongly feel that getting our community involved in the development of your tools early will result in a better product for everyone. Besides, you know your creative process better than we do! We’re excited to get your thoughts, feedback, suggestions and bug reports as we move forward.
New Features
- Normal and specular maps
- Undo/Redo History
- Derivation catalog built into Studio
- Control over submesh/material assignments
- New user interface
- Better security for your assets and project files
Stand Alone App
IMVU Studio is a new stand-alone client. After reviewing your feedback, we concluded that separating Studio and Desktop would result in smaller downloads, allow independent development on each app, and improve the experience for both users and Creators
Backward Compatibility
The underlying structure of how products are created has remained the same in IMVU Studio. About 90% of existing products in our catalog will be derivable into Studio . If you are familiar with Classic Create Mode, you should be able to start creating products in IMVU Studio in no time.
