Well, 3DCommune didn't release Alexa to jump on any bandwagon.. :) We wanted to have our own character to get into development and after all that has happened we're still happy to be there and we are deep into it now. Personally I think it's a ton of fun and a great learning experience for everyone invloved. I wish we didn't get burned on Alexa with partial stolen mesh work but all in all it's been a great experince so far. I applaud Renderosity for also joining in that arena or RPPublishing or whatever you're calling yourselves now. Unfortunately all the problems you're having now are due to releasing her too soon before you put her though all the hoops. This is EXACTALLY why we are NOT releasing Alexa again till we have her just as we want her. We want to make 110% sure everything is right before we give her back to our customers and the community. I would rather wait then have something like this happen. I think she looks nice, a little too much like V3 for sure and I would have thought you'd want to do something a little different as well with all the competition out there. Good luck with her and I do wish you all the best with her. Personally I would pull her, fix her, and spend the needed time to get her right and then re-release her. No shame in that in the least, unless you just keep pushing forward with blinders on. Hope you make the right decision. Mark
