Welcome to Keef's IMVU Developer Tutorials

"They know enough who know how to learn."
Henry Brooks Adams

As I discover how to do things I’ll try and share my discoveries with you so you can be a developer too. This is not intended as a replacement for the IMVU tutorials but as a supplement.

I STRONGLY suggest you first complete the IMVU supplied tutorials to gain a basic understanding of the tools.

In order to be an IMVU developer you must buy your name and register as a developer. You will be unable to submit a product until you do so.

Remember, No one learned to do this overnight, so take your time, learn at your own speed and have fun allong the way!
