☢☢☢ Thanks for your interest in the Crux X, the newest imagining of the Crux species from it's original creator! ☢☢☢
This latest incarnation offers a lot to fans of the species:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☢☢☢ Modern SL Technology ☢☢☢:
Fully Rigged Mesh, fully BoM compatible, bento rigging, specular mapping, nomal mapping and up to date scripting bring the Crux fully into modern SL
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☢☢☢ Customization ☢☢☢:
Through use of Bakes on Mesh, and rigged mesh, customizing your Crux has never been this easy or flexible. Every crux you see in the product images is created with only this base product! A huge variety of shapes, colors, and markings are possible. With additional BoM layers almost anything is possible. This gives the species more potential variety than ever before. In addition, we've included an applier based body for those who do not wish to use BoM, along with a full applier kit for creators, and access to texture resources to do your own BoM customizations or products. We even made alternate head and ear models, and gave you three nose shape deformers for even more variety
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☢☢☢ Expression ☢☢☢:
Uses over 100 animations, including eye, ear, mouth, tail and hand poses, talking gestures and typing animations. There are also gestures to laugh, bite, hug, lick and more. The HUD includes a full (and optional) AO with everything you need plus stand, walk and crouch options to walk bipedally, quadripedally, or a mix. Everything is controlled easily from the HUD. Works great with most other AO's too!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☢☢☢ Performance Minded Scripting ☢☢☢:
A minimum of scripts, lightweight scripting and memory limits were used to create the avatar, leading to lower script lag, and a responsive and simple HUD.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☢☢☢ Love and Care ☢☢☢:
The creation of this avatar has taken half a year from concept to completion and has used all the best of our talents in and out of SL. We wanted to give the species and the community the update it deserved! We hope you enjoy it!

Its okay...
This avatar leaves a lot to be desired. As a long time fan I just find my self disappointment. It feels like a SPC rip off of what the Crux actually should be. No charm, all the edge. Its sad to see the creator of this fun species and avatar go this route. I thought maybe I could do something else with the avatar.
The avatar works at least. The hud is nice and compact, has a lot of good stages for the mouth and position of the ears along with hand and tail poses. My only issue with the AO is the head follows my cursor even when its on. And it drives me nuts.
I wanted to give it 3 stars but that felt to mean. Malluch is a skillful creator and maybe the Crux is just heading in a direction that is not meant for older fans like me. =c
My new favorite!!
This was my first time working with BoM textures; i have to say it's perfect for beginners and advanced users alike! Not to mention a stellar re-imagining of the original Crux. All in all, i'm very pleased!
A grinning ghost wishing you well.
Lovely to see you back in the saddle. The avatar is a wonderfully twisted and lively writhing bundle of madness. Highly customizable. Would recommend and hope to see more from you again. ~cheers!
Worth every L$!
a very nice well made avatar with lots of built in customizable options as well as really nice animations. looks good, works well, i love this ♥
Feature Rich. Exceptionally Optimized. Entirely Versatile.
The fact alone that this avatar is editable for this price point is worth the purchase alone, but this is taken much further by providing features and functionality that both rival mainstream human bodies and outright surpass them. There is a built in animation set with plenty of customization. There is a large array of tint-able skin layers applied via BOM to create a look you want. Hand, eyes, mouth and tail poses/animations are available for the sake of expression. The body is highly customizable with the shape tool, utilizing most of the sliders available. You are given everything you need to make a completed avatar out of the box. If that is not enough, this body is fully editable with a creator kit available, allowing for additional parts and accessories to be created for this avatar rapidly, and for you to tweak and tune to your personal preferences. Even if you do not have any strong attachment to the aesthetic of the Crux, you can use this avatar as a great base for any number of different looks.
Additionally, the optimization of this avatar is exceptionally well done. While achieving a high-fidelity look, this avatar has a dramatically low impact on performance, as in it being fractional against most mainstream human avatars. This is all while still allowing the features and capability of achieving the fidelity of those avatars through provided tools or by community mods.
The only issues I have with this avatar are small and potentially addressable, unless set back by technical limitations. One issue is in how the eyes behave where the entire eye socket rotates instead of the eye itself, causing an odd disfiguration at these parts when the avatar looks far left or right, which can be common with the default animations since the head freely looks around. The other issue is a lack of updates notes when an update releases, making it difficult to know what to account for.
Despite these, this is an exceptional product and a worthwhile purchase.
I Love It
I wasn't a fan of the old style Crux, but this one is amazing. The unique body shape makes it perfect to mod creatures that are too sinuous for the default human shape.
