Projects are loosely organised by <i>difficulty<\/i>, i.e. <i>simplest to most complicated<\/i>, based on the amount of additional content the Creator needs to make, or work required, to complete a project, standard rooms being the simplest, animated content being the most difficult. Each project starts from the appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.katsbits.com\/codex\/imvu-starter-files\/\">Starter File<\/a> and typically works through the item creation process e.g. a seat, its export, then to IMVU import and assembly (and optionally publishing) in real time.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style: none; margin-left: 0.4em; ; border-left: 4px solid #b7ca85;\">\n<li>\n<h4>401: Furniture Room<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.katsbits.com\/codex\/imvu401\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/tutorials\/imvu\/401_thumb.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b>Description<\/b>: make a custom furniture room using the Room Starter File.<br \/>\n<b>Duration<\/b>: c. 1:45:00 mins<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.katsbits.com\/codex\/imvu401\/\">Watch Now \u25ba<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4>402: [coming soon]<\/h4>\n<p><b>Description<\/b>: <i>[coming soon]<\/i><br \/>\n<b>Duration<\/b>:<br \/>\nWatch Now \u25ba<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \n\n --><br \/>\n<center>\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Who is KatsBits\/jazzKat?<\/b> Basically, and not to toot jazz&#8217;s horn with too much of a hint of modernity, <a href=\"https:\/\/avatars.imvu.com\/jazzKat\">jazzKat is <i>the<\/i> founding avatar of the Blender 3D community within IMVU<\/a>, every Creator who uses Blender to make products for IMVU can trace a lineage to his founding documents, example files, tutorials, individual help, community support, project fixes, back in the olden days of bobble heads, big hands and feet.
