Greetings from Estonia which is a small country in Northern Europe. My name is Tarmo, and main IMVU avatar name is ChicByTrinity (often called either Chic or Trinity among friends) who's also my model character for my IMVU products.
I have had creative urges throughout my entire life. Now I make (compose, produce) music since 1993, and in 2009 I discovered IMVU.
At first I explored IMVU shop and rooms, I didn't create anything significant until July 2011 when I started making avatar skins for women. I had some prior Photoshop experience for this texture work.
At first I created skins for my model Trinity only, but to my surprise many other people started wanting the skins that I create.
This was not all, not enough. I started learning 3DS Max in early August 2011 with the help of IMVU Creator education resources and YouTube video tutorials. It was not easy, many days filled with trying, messing it up, trying again, until a couple of weeks later I figured it out. The rest is history.
I have been creating realistic rooms and furniture since August 2011. Real-life look and feel is my primary goal, as much as it is possible with the tools available.
Unexpectedly, all this fun turned out to be my actual income to support my life and household. I have been my own boss, I don't have to "go to work", this has given me lots of freedom. For this I am truly grateful!
Creator Tips
Always use proper texture sizes and ratios like 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 pixels, always multiplied and divided by 2. Do not go larger than 512x512 pixels. If you just add a random texture that you downloaded, it may be huge (1000-2000 pixels) and pump up the product size/KBs for no reason, even making the texture look worse than 512x512 pixels and below would look like.
Whenever you buy or download textures for your IMVU creations, make sure they're not copyrighted or stolen from other creators! This is very important. Keep your account in a good standing.

...I've been on IMVU for a total of eleven years, and during those years ChicByTrinity has always been a recognizable name, and for good reason. Your creations are second-to-none, and my IMVU experience has always been greatly enhanced by your outstanding products. I'm a long-time customer, never a Creator, and I spend my IMVU time Streaming, on the Feed. Your outstanding "rooms" provide me, and other Streamers, with inspirational settings that give us ideas for creating our own forms of satisfying, and entertaining artwork. Thank you, so much, for allowing me to benefit from your great skill, hard work, and dedication. I am so happy to know of your well-earned success..!!

I think the one creator I would highly appreciate is
ChicByTrinity, because to get the success is one thing
and to maintain it for this long is very different
which I think she has done it beautifully.
The connection she has with the members feels like home,
I have met her, she’s exactly what she is extremely down to
Earth fun, and completely talented
and something I really appreciate, she has talked about issues
like trolling, depression, climate change and body shaming,
she’s throwing light on all these issues and I really appreciate her for that!”
ChicByTrinity is connected and talented, and self made!
I am here 15 years as a creator myself and have seen her grow and
she is TRULY an inspiration to me!!!
I’d just like to say how amazing she is
Shes Number 1, Mesher, creator, designer and so much more

Congrats on your spotlight Chic!! You have been an inspiration to me for a long time now. I have created off of several of your meshes and will continue to do so. Your creations are so realistic like you mentioned and using your rooms especially, makes the experience here on IMVU that much more satisfying. I am glad we are friends and I miss talking to you. Best wishes ~ Ash

ChicByTrinity is by far one of the most amazing creators I've ever seen. I've bought several of her rooms, mainly her Giga City and other city variants, as they've been wonderful for my own photo and video creativity.
I see her work and it makes me want to learn 3D so I can mesh as opposed to just deriving. She's truly a talented and inspirational creator, and I'm happy she stayed in IMVU and is finally being recognized.
Also can see why Giga City reminds me of towns I've seen in Central Europe. Very cool.
