Like Anton with his clothes, my texture making skills have improved and though I still look at the period gown mappacks fondly, I felt they no longer met my current standards, so I had them pulled. I will be making new mappacks along the same lines, but better and for more advanced products. The period gown was exquisite and versitile for it's time, but I'm sure the maker of that dress could even do better now. There is a shift going on at Daz, but mine was a personal decision that would have happened regardless.
