I - just speaking for myself, as the only judge in this competition ;-) - have seen no cheating anywhere here. My initial statement was "The first TWO who give the answers IN THIS THREAD will receive the texture pack". I think not that this could have been misunderstood. I also think that we worked together on this thread here. And I also believe that Brokenangel9 could have given the answer. Therefore I herewith declare that the contest has three winners. All three will receive a copy of the texture pack. This way, I think, no one will feel cheated or will have the feeling someone else cheated because he / she just read the thread (and my initial statement). Is that alright with you three, Midnightposer, Brokenangel9 and Arien? There is still the possibility for someone else to own the texture pack - plus three bonus textures in different colors. Just find out what the secret of the Eleonora gown is ;-) And, by the way, if you found my little historic lesson interesting - just wait how thrilled you will be when I eventually reveal the secret of Eleonora's gown (if no one else can answer this question, I will most certainly reveal it - at latest when the texture pack is in my shop - you may thank whoever is the beta tester at the Renderosity store for this taking so long). As for future creations: Yes, I have plans. Yes, I am already working on them. I may toss in three textures on which I am currently working: - Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" gown texture for The Dress; - Scarlett O'Hara's red velvet 'Shame' dress from Gone with the Wind - will come with feather balls as a prop; see my homepage / featured gallery images for a texture of this gown I have previously made for Posette) for the V3MFD; - Queen Elizabeth's gown from the 'Phoenix' portrait for V3MFD & Expansion pack ( http://www.tudor-portraits.com/Elizabeth20.jpg )- this will definitely be published in a pack with some other Queen's gowns, like - Maria De Medici's Fleur-de-Lys gown (de Medici this time ;-) - http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/ariadata/image/SK/Z/SK-A-870.Z.jpg ) and - the portrait gown of Archduchess Isabella Clara Eugenia ( http://ladysarafina.home.att.net/claraeugenia5.JPG ). There's so much historic fashion I love, but my greatest love is for the Elizabethan gowns from England and France. Now if there was any artist who would be willing to collaborate in creating a mesh for a real Elizabethan gown - I would be jumping right in by providing all information on what the mesh should have and of course make unbelievable textures for it. Don't get me wrong, the V3MFG w/ expansion pack is already great - but it's not the real thing. I could texture far better with a correct mesh... sigh...
