One of the most popular methods for deriving a product is to replace the textures applied to a product for new ones. All creators involved in that derivation chain, get a portion of the transaction. This means that if a product is set as derivable, other creators can make a newly edited version of the item and sell it in the shop. IMVU is founded on the idea that many products in our catalog can be derived from. That is to say, adding a texture to a 3D mesh is much like wrapping a package, or covering a piece of furniture with patterned paper. The IMVU Catalog is filled with 3D generated products, and the success of any good 3D product is the quality of the textures applied to it.Ī texture is a two dimensional artwork that is applied to a three dimensional shape or also called “Mesh”. This article will help you understand what textures and diffuse maps are and how they work.
