What is imvu+?

imvu+ products are the latest products created on IMVU Studio, our new Creator platform. imvu+ products take advantage of new rendering features only visible on IMVU Desktop and IMVU Mobile. imvu+ products can reflect light dynamically and may contain new particle systems, interactive lighting and more. 


This new technology results in more realistic looking surfaces and textures when utilized in chat rooms and avatar creation.

Products that are utilizing this new technology from IMVU Studio will be displayed in Shop with an imvu+ badge on the upper right hand corner.

Chat rooms that have an imvu+ badge displayed on the room image contain dynamic lighting that can showcase your imvu+ products. Use your imvu+ products in these rooms for more realism in your gameplay. 

 

Which platforms are we able to view/purchase imvu+ products? 

You can purchase imvu+ products on any platform, and you can view the badge indicating that an item is an imvu+ product on IMVU Desktop and IMVU Mobile.
