With new technologies, How far is a new image at the Virtual Avatar?

Creating a reflective avatar on IMVU can be a challenging task that requires advanced 3D modeling skills and expertise in material and lighting effects. However, in today's digital age, it is certainly possible with the help of modern technology. 3D modeling software has become increasingly sophisticated, offering a wide range of tools and features that enable creators to achieve highly realistic and detailed virtual objects. Additionally, advancements in material and lighting effects technology have made it possible to create the illusion of reflective surfaces with high fidelity, even in real-time applications like the IMVU client.

Whether or not it would be a hit item on the market would depend on various factors, but if it's a high-quality and well-designed product, it could potentially generate significant profit. The potential for creativity and profitability make it a project worth pursuing for skilled 3D modelers and designers. Reflective avatars could be a unique and eye-catching addition to the IMVU marketplace, and the realism and attention to detail of a reflective avatar could be a game-changer in the virtual world. A high-quality reflective avatar could attract a lot of attention and generate significant profit, and a derivable version of the product could inspire other creators to develop their own versions, leading to increased competition and innovation in the marketplace.

The ability to integrate reflective avatars into the IMVU Studios platform or export them in the FBX format for use in the IMVU client offers a great deal of flexibility and creative potential for creators. IMVU Studios provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for creating and publishing virtual content, including avatars and rooms. Creators can use the tools and resources provided by IMVU Studios to bring their reflective avatars to life and publish them directly to the IMVU marketplace for sale to other users. Exporting a reflective avatar in the FBX format also offers a number of benefits as FBX is compatible with many different applications, allowing creators to use their reflective avatars in a variety of different virtual environments and share them with others who may not be using the IMVU platform. Overall, reflective avatars represent a unique and exciting opportunity for expression and innovation in the virtual world.

Let me know what you think of the Idea generated by a Chain Stoner.

tbh i think the development is really needed. We need more mesh for clothings and hairs etc. It gets tiring to see people use same ones over again and again. We need more meshes to be built to elevate the metaverse.

I think the biggest hurdle right now is the software itself. More specifically how much RAM and processing power it can actually use, coupled with the net performance. I don't personally suffer from it, but plenty of people still have issues with lag and I've noticed longer loading times in recent years, despite very capable hardware and an SSD install.

If I'm reading you correctly and what you mean is either photoprojection, dynamic lighting and/or realistic matetials, I think it might prove hard to achieve within the limitations of the client itself (let alone mobile) and without making the size of your avi skyrocket to 5000kb's and above. I already struggle to keep it under 3k like I used to as texture sizes increase, or more novice developers come onto the scene, but don't have the skills to effectively compress.

I'm not a 3D modeller or dev of any substance myself, so apologies if I am misunderstanding things or incorrect in my knowledge. I certainly look forward to more advanced creations in VU, I know there's already been some cool strides taken with mesh heads and + materials. But I fear IMVU may have hit it's technical peak, especially when it lacks the user numbers and funding for upgrades and advancement. If only they allowed 3rd party clients as SL does with it's viewers, it would allow a little more creative breathing room.

I'd be curious to see how the IMVU community would react to reflective avatars. Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking idea!
