Well friends, what do you think ?
Today at PoserPros, I saw a post from an artist that had the
name "Bonnie" in it. It was a product to be launched at DAZ and
possibly other sites as well.
The character was called "Bonnie" for V3
I asked that the name be changed because the 3D character name "Bonnie" is used by me and people identify "Bonnie" with me as the artist.
The reply was "Sorry...we searched the stores and the name was not used and
we are not going to change it."
A friend of mine replied that it should be out of courtesy not to use a name
of a character that is seen all over the net on different Poser sites.
The reply was that the launch of the package would cost more money and be
delayed.
My friend also told me in a PM to let it go and that the rival "Bonnie" would
be forgotten in a few months.
I replied to the author that the concept and idea of a 3D character called "Bonnie" was my idea and character, not theirs.
The image and thread were removed by the admins over there.
I have asked DAZ to delay the product launch until another name could be
found.
Oh yeah, one of the two artists on the "Bonnie" project said that she
never, ever heard of my Bonnie character. It proves that people only look
at what their small circle of clique friends produce and IGNORE EVERYONE ELSE.
I didn't want a fight on my hands.
All I asked for was a name change.
What's mine is mine.
Opinions anyone ?
