I just had a look at your site (which incidentally I found a little difficult to navigate because of the size of the home page) and the Body Studio 16 looks pretty good. If it's all yours then I say fight the bastards! If it's not, then you should be hanged. OK, let's assume you're on the side of sweetness and light. What you need to do is locate any files you saved on the way to making the finished article. You should then mail a couple of them to Micogames (keep a few up your sleeve) and copy them to somebody you can trust (your solicitor, your bank manager, Renderosity, the web?) showing that you went through various stages to get to the finished product. Challenge Micogames to show that your texture is exactly the same as theirs, and I mean exactly. If they are professionals then they should have built a watermark of some sort into the texture to prevent them being ripped off. If your image contains the same watermark then you are done for. If it doesn't then I guess you are home and dry. You can take on the big guys and win. I just beat British Telecom and they are about a billion times bigger than me. Then sue the bastards, or at the very least make them give you an abject apology on their website. Good luck, Maz
