What Graphic Editors to use? Many people use software like Gimp or Adobe PhotoShop, Paint.Net, etc. I see many beginner tutorials for all of these on YouTube. For example on YouTube, many Starter guides for GIMP are very easy to learn. Look Here: I mention GIMP as it is a "Freeware" Software program and many use and give support for it. The Paint.Net is also free but not as many tutorials out there or experienced people here, as of yet.
The Next Step is to make a few things you like and may use for yourself. These "practice products" should be some things that are simple and take you through the flow of making items on IMVU. Many recommend starting with deriving products as a good start. . To "Derive" a product means to take one that is already in the IMVU Catalog and make a new color, pattern, or add custom shapes, etc.
To start, I recommend making a new "T-Shirt". These are relatively simple and will take you through the process of making a product you can wear. In the Creator Education Center, there is a step-by-step in making a shirt. Start with a simple one and look Here: https://create.imvu.com/knowledge-base/make-a-shirt/ This is how so many creators start making clothing.
I have to say clothing is a very competitive market. Look at the catalog, lol. I do know some who have started making furniture for rooms, instead. Competition is less and there is more room for profit! These furniture items are fairly simple and can lead to other paths of success. Furniture is easy to make as the texture materials are mostly, very simple.
I have had several Creators trying to Derive things from IMVU's New Desktop or on Mobile and asking "How to find derivable products". These are not currently linked to Derivable Products. As a Creator, you need to get familiar with the Classic Catalog, etc (at this time). Most people don't know the Classic Website exists. Beyond Creating, Power Shoppers use the Classic Catalog, exclusively.
Classic Website? How do you find it?
See Here:
Once there use the Classic Catalog to find Derivable Products (ones from which you may make things) and other Helpful Settings, etc. Check Mark "Derivable" when searching to find the Derivable Products or the ones you can add to your artwork. Grab the PID Number (Product ID Number) and use it in the IMVU Studio for Creating. I recommend the IMVU Studio product editing tool as the many features give you more ways to enhance your products and make them the most attractive. Also, the IMVU Studio has many video tutorials as listed below.

[Archived]Hi @lele27314 Becoming a Content Creator you will find it much easier if you are already familiar with a good Graphics Editor. A Graphics Editor is used to create images from scratch and to "Crop" and "Resize" images you have already made yourself. There are other places to get images but use many cautions downloading "Free Images" or "Brand Name" logos. You do not know who made them and have rights to them. If you made them, you know from where they came. I highly recommend people stay away from Brands and Logos!
