Content Creator News
IMVU’s Creator Showcase is a monthly series that highlights Creators for their content creating achievements.
After recognizing a prominent member of the Creating community last
month, April 2013’s Creator Showcase focuses on someone who is newer to
the scene: skittish.
Skittish
has been part of our community for two years now and just began her
creator career only 4 months ago. Like many users, skittish began
creating at the urging of her friends. Her women’s clothing products are
very wearable and generally urban-styled, although skittish is “still
at a point where [she is] discovering [her] market” and her current
selections "very well may evolve into something different." As a newer
creator, skittish noted a few groups that have been helpful in guiding
her to become an even better creator, namely Free Derivations, Dawning Developers, and 3DS Max Group.
We think skittish is off to an amazing start with new products being
added weekly. Do you have any advice for her and new creators in
general? Feel free to post your words of wisdom here.
We are proud to feature our extremely creative and talented community each month!
Today we are unveiling a monthly series called the IMVU Creator Showcase where we will highlight certain Creators for their achievements. Whether you are a well-known Creator, or just starting out, you could be featured here!
March 2013’s Creator Showcase recognizes member bibirasta! Bibirasta has been part of our community since 2005 and has worked her way from being a casual user to becoming an accomplished mesher. Her meshes are well known for the “BM” or “BoomMastic” look, which has a strong customer following. Bibirasta is currently studying modeling and animation, so look for new products coming soon, in addition to the 2,500 items currently in her catalog!
I enjoy with what I make, and I like that the people have a good time with my creations :) . I care about answering all my messages, although sometimes it takes a little time, right now I am a little disconnected, because I am studying modeling and 3D animation, but very soon I will return with new projects :)
IMVU’s Creator community is large, diverse, and extremely creative. We are proud to showcase them via the Creator Showcase.
Note: The IMVU team will choose each month’s Creator Showcase, there is no need to apply.
Please note that product submissions are back on as of 12:30 PM on March 2nd , 2013 (Pacific Time). Please read this forum post for further details as well as staff updates.
We have been working hard to address one of the biggest Peer Review issues: incorrect voting. Our team has recently identified hundreds of accounts that regularly fail products in Peer Review incorrectly. We have removed Peer Review privileges from these accounts, and they will no longer be able to participate in PR. The process of identifying these accounts and removing PR privileges is ongoing.
Please read the full post in the Creator forums here.
Many of you may be aware of a recent issue with Creators receiving multiple, single--credit gifts from random accounts in a short period of time. We are investigating this issue. Meanwhile, please make sure you are using a computer that you trust, is up-to-date with anti-virus utilities and your password is secure and recently changed. Please read more in this forum announcement.
