Before anyone acuses me of being an obsessed fan boy who can't let go of the past, hear me out.  Like many A3 users, I started using her because I didn't like V3.  Among other reasons, I found A3 realistic to have a far more expressive face than V3.  When V4 came out, I tried very hard to like her, but like a lot of other people I know, I just couldn't get on with her.  Then came A4. 

I'm yet to find anyone who says they prefer A4 to A3.  Her realistic setting is as far from realistic as you can get.  Worst of all, as I already explained, I started using A3 because I didn't get on with Victoria 3 or 4.  Now Aiko users are expected to use A4, V4 with a different set or morphs.  That same V4 they didn't like.  The people at Daz are laughing of course.  One less figure to support and to use Aiko they get to sell another copy of V4.2.  Does any complain?  Yes.  Constantly. Do they take a stand a refuse to use it?  No.  That's what I'd like to change. 

It's reached the point now where nothing new is being made for A3.  The likes of Hongyu and other top vendors have dropped her like a stone.  Now people have no choice but to put up with V4 whether they like it or not.  I'm sure that if A3 products were still available she'd be as popular as ever.  Sadly, nobody seems willing to test that theory.  So, here's my plan.  I can make characters, textures packs and pose sets.  Unfortunately, I can't do 3D modelling.  I'm hoping to find a few people who can so we can start churning out A3 freebies by the bucket load and keep the character alive.  Hopefully this will catch the eye of the vendors.  If you agree with my sentiments please contact me.  If you think I'm insane, contact my doctor.

Lastly, renderosity could help with this campaign by renaming the "Aiko" section "Aiko 3".  The vendors have had long enough to move their A4 stuff to the Aiko 4 section. 

Anyway, maybe this is a futile request.  On the other hand, maybe there's enough of us out there who resent being forced to use V4 to make a stand and change things.  We shall see.  I look forward to speaking to anyone who's interested in helping.  Thanks.
