There are two kinds of products in the IMVU product system: Primary products and Derived products. Primary products are usually the first product of a given type of geometry to have been built. You should think of Primary products as the master products from which all others ought to be derived.
Derived products literally inherit all of the attributes of the Primary product but they overwrite one or two features. They are smaller faster versions of the Primary product and they should only contain overrides. Usually these overrides are in the form of texture overrides. Since the file size is much smaller than the Primary product, Derived products will make your product more appealing to your customer as the download time is much shorter than the Primary.
For more information about creating products in IMVU, please visit the Creator Education Center.
Creating a Derived Product
Making a Derived product is simple. For instructions on how to do it, follow the steps below:
STEP 1: First, rename your recently created Accessory product according to the IMVU-created product CFL naming convention.
STEP 2: Next, open the previewer then choose Create a Derived Product.
STEP 3: Finally, choose your recently saved and newly named Scene product CFL file.
STEP 4: After making sure the product works, click the big red Submit Product to IMVU catalog button in the Product Info panel.
