Imvu characters6/30/2023 Much like the creating process today, it featured various options to create, edit products, meshes, animations etc.Ĭreators were used to be called developers. Wanted to re-read something? You better dragged those bubbles fast, otherwise, if the other person created more text bubbles, you’d lose the history fast!īack in the day, if you wanted to create on IMVU, you had to download a separate application called Previewer. It was easier to see which window was being active (as Windows would notify the user by coloring the application tab in orange).īack then, all chat bubbles were the same color and there was no option to see the chat displayed as simple text as we do right now. I personally was a fan of the cascade windows. Here is a derivation of this product: Christmas-themed UI skinĬhatting was a separate window from the Inventory/Buddy list and it had several quick buttons on the bottom right of the screen. This UI skin product I believe was quite similar to the dummy bundle, in the sense that you would derive from a base product that did not actually exist (I think). I used to fangirl over that UI skin a lot because it was well made and I couldn’t afford it. Luckily, my memory is still very good and while I could not find actual screenshots of modified UI using the custom skins, I did find the original product ID, as well as one holiday-themed skin made by pinkpheonix (pinkph oenix today). Today, that category no longer exists and the parent ID from which items were derived has been hidden, as well as derivations. Original UI Skin for derivation – PID 115658 I remember back in the day wanting to decorate my UI with Christmas-themed UI skins. This was an awesome feature because it allowed you to customize the skin of IMVU. One important difference was that the IMVU version of 2006 had an inventory section for “UI Skins”. The inventory was not yet integrated into the chat window. ![]() The chat was a separate window like in the picture above and lo and behold, the IMVU cafeteria is a classic room, but back in the day, it was both really awesome and very boring due to the lack of rooms on IMVU. It’s very strange compared to what we have today, but back then, there weren’t many items in the shop and people would keep small friends list. The messenger itself had two categories like in the picture above, one for “buddies” and one for “inventory”. ![]() The IMVU client was a simple program much like other messenger application from around that time (MSN, Yahoo messenger). ![]() I had many memories of old stuff and I tried researching to provide images that could accurately describe what it used to look like back in 2006 and the following years. Note: The following article is written from my own experience. If you’re curious to know how IMVU used to be back in my time, keep on reading (or just look at the pictures :D). I joined IMVU in 2006 and everything back then was much different! From the way the client looked, how shopping was done and even what kind of upgrades you could buy for your avatar. Have you ever wondered how IMVU used to be over 10 years ago? 15 years ago? We’ll dive deep into it! □
