Dec 20, 2010 IMVU has reached 50 million registered users. You can play games, dress up your avatar, shop, decorate your room, create your own personalized look, and connect with new people around the world. IMVU is easy to use! Just download the FREE software onto your computer to get started. Every Mac has a main user account called “root,” which is the system account that’s used to launch the essential background services required for your Mac to operate. While this account is. However, according to the IMVU FAQs, the only requirements are, “Individuals must have a personal computer (PC or Mac) and broadband access to use IMVU.” I did find a post on the IMVU forums saying that IMVU had updated their minimum system requirements, though. It says the requirements for Macs as of May 27th, 2011 are: 2 GB RAM. Aug 27, 2019 The IMVU Mac Beta release will be an update that Mac users can download as a beta application to get a headstart on our new desktop experience. It will co-exist with the current IMVU desktop app, unless you upgrade to Mac OS 10.15, and will be differentiated with a “BETA” flag over the IMVU dashboard icon.

The browser used in this tutorial to download IMVU Desktop App is Google Chrome . Please, be aware that the installation steps may differ if other browsers are used.

Introduction

IMVU Studio is our next generation creator tool, currently in development. It will serve as the foundation for new features and optimizations on IMVU Desktop and Mobile, allowing Creators to take their products to a whole new level.

We are offering IMVU Studio as an early Beta, introducing several new features including normal and specular maps, new lighting and a fresh new user interface.

What To Expect from Beta

IMVU Studio is a new platform built from the ground up for both Mac and Windows. Expect to encounter bugs, stability and performance issues. Studio will be continuously updated during this phase and quality will improve with each iteration. We will also be rolling out key features as we move through Beta.

We strongly feel that getting our community involved in the development of your tools early will result in a better product for everyone. Besides, you know your creative process better than we do! We’re excited to get your thoughts, feedback, suggestions and bug reports as we move forward.

New Features

  • Normal and specular maps
  • Undo/Redo History
  • Derivation catalog built into Studio
  • Control over submesh/material assignments
  • New user interface
  • Better security for your assets and project files

Stand Alone App

IMVU Studio is a new stand-alone client. After reviewing your feedback, we concluded that separating Studio and Desktop would result in smaller downloads, allow independent development on each app, and improve the experience for both users and Creators

Backward Compatibility

The underlying structure of how products are created has remained the same in IMVU Studio. About 90% of existing products in our catalog will be derivable into Studio . If you are familiar with Classic Create Mode, you should be able to start creating products in IMVU Studio in no time.

New Features Coming Soon

These will be exposed in future releases

  • Spotlights – Control cone angle, brightness and falloff
  • Shadow Maps – Spotlights will have the ability to cast a shadow
  • Increased Texture Map Sizes – Support 1024 x 1024 texture sizes
  • Particle System Panel – Particle System 2.0 coming soon
