Create furniture

From Whirled

Furniture is any kind of object you can put in your room to decorate it. From chairs and tables to fireflies and planets, furniture comes in a limitless variety. And since it's usually just a simple image file it is also very easy to create your own furniture!

To arrange the furniture in your room, edit your room.

Basic Furniture

To make a simple furniture object for your room:

1. Create an image of the object*, with transparency (24-bit pngs are usually best). If working in Photoshop, use File > Save for Web and choose PNG 24-bit with transparency. Make sure that you have cropped the object closely to the edges.
2. Go to Me → Furniture
3. Click Upload....
4. Upload the media.
5. Give your item a name and a description.
6. If your furniture item is a .swf you will probably want to upload a .jpg thumbnail under the Thumbnail Media tab.

This will allow you to use the furniture item. If you want others to be able to buy it, select the object in your Inventory and click List in Shop. If you want to make changes for the item, click on the item in your own Inventory and select 'Edit'. When your changes are complete click "Update Listing" to update the version listed in the shop.
