[Archived - Dainte] I am new to creating. As a part of my new vu business I would like to create wedding and ball gowns. Where do I even begin? I used to do a little bit of creating but it was so long ago (over 7 years ago) and so much has changed with cr

HI @Dainte​ Yes many htings are different, now, LoL... Welcome back! Most complicated mesh and especially clothing still use Material Maps. I would look at the "Derived From" on each page to ensure you are looking at the original meshers page. That is where you will find Material Maps if there are any. Simple to check the Derivation Tree, too... from the Product Page.

 

I would suggest to use the Create Mode as you have before and then learn the new IMVU Studio in short time. The Create Mode is still around for an undetermined amount of time and the Studio is the new route with many new product features. Some of these features would behoove the Wedding Gown sales, I am sure.

 

When you have the basic back again (wont take you long) you can look more closely at the IMVU Studio.
