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 conquer with all the above messages, I derive but, mostly clothes, very rarely do I derive a room, yours was pleasant to work on, the Autumn room is my favorite, sitting on the porch facing the sun and sea brings me peace, so Thank You for the work you do. and Congrats.

Finally! Chic got the spotlight! Chic's creations don't need any baking just pure hard work and lots of time to perfect. I always love how he make his scenes and he captured nature by himself through his real life photography hobby. So stealing his textures would kill your business lol. I am always a fan of your rooms and no one can do it like you, you're one of a kind. I wish you all the best Chic -huggles-

I have several rooms, and numerous furniture designed by Chic, everything is always so perfect. I buy, use, and gift her products, because they are always of the highest quality and originality.
