Derive & Earn

Make IMVU products without 3D software. This free three-part series shows you how to become a creator, derive your first product and price it so it sells.

What is Derive & Earn?

On IMVU, a derivable product is one its creator lets others build on. You take the mesh, put your own textures on it and sell the result in the Catalog under your name. You never touch a 3D program: everything happens in Create Mode or IMVU Studio with images you make in any editor.

It is the fastest way to open an IMVU shop. The trade-off is that part of every sale goes to the original creator, so your price has to be planned. Part 3 shows how.

Who it is for

  • New creators who want a first product live this week.
  • Texture artists who can recolour but do not model.
  • Shop owners who want more items without paying for custom mesh.

Ready for your own furniture?

Derives are great to start. When you want products nobody else has, our Create & Earn library gives you ready-made furniture files with tested sit nodes that you upload as your own.
