We can only use PNG and JPG for IMVU, the reference to "bitmap" was really just to say you need an image file associated with the materials rather than using Blender's generated textures.
Would really need to see an image of the UV maps in Blender as Studio won't normally cause issues unless there's something odd going on.
For the textures you're best off splitting into 256x512's or 256x256's if they must be square - we're supposed to be able to use 512x512 in Studio but that still seems a little iffy right now.
The floor is black because the right half of the texture is black, so it won't display the right texture until i make a full squared texture. This really slows down the process and ruins the quality overall.
Am I right? Imvu wants me to have full squared texture? How am I supposed to paint more complicated meshes if it doesn't even respect the uv map?

1024x1024 is too big for IMVU. Scale those down to at max 512 x 512 (if you're using Studio).
Double-check you don't have any unused materials assigned to objects as that will mess up the objects appearance in IMVU, they need to be deleted/removed. Make sure you're using bitmaps and not generated textures, those won't be used by IMVU (if you're baking they'll need to be saved as bitmaps).

Indeed.
Checked my file again and there were lots of mesh duplicated.
Now My problem is, I baked my textures and in blender I can see them fine.
Whenever I import it on imvu or imvu studio, it looks like Imvu doesn't respect my UV MAP.

[Archived]Hello!
I am creating a room and when I try to import it, in the last step it won't let me click "Review". It just loads forever.

[Archived]Can't believe it!
I always check UVmaps because it's always good to check if they're OK.
Totally forgot to check on this mesh. Thank you Jazzkat, my issue is fixed now. I had two UVmaps with similar names :D

[Archived]Go into Object Data Properties and check the UV Maps listings, there should just be ONE. If there isn't you'll need to remove the one that's unused. Check the boxout here https://www.katsbits.com/codex/uv-maps/#generate-uv-map-uvmap

This is my top's UV map (512x512) , unwrapped with blender and texturized with Photoshop..

This is what I get on imvu

[Archived]Plus, this is the texture I want to use. https://gyazo.com/0da6764b47c21f1b2423038407ea550b
Getting a full squared texture just ruin its resolution.

[Archived]Rebaked my Texture to 512x512 .BMP.
https://gyazo.com/42b1caa9de82799dbfafdfc2827388f0 This is the final result. Seems that Imvu doesn't like Rectangular UV Mapped meshes?

My textures are 1024x1024. Am I missing something?

[Archived]52 MB?! That's a big file. You may need to optimise it, Studio has a polygon limit the mesh is likely exceeding.
