Broken communication - Lack of responses

To be fair, unless I’m misreading things, it wasn’t specified that all 800 of those textures have to be in one folder. Mike said you could use “ProjectName > AssetType” or “ProjectName > AssetType > SpecificAsset”, so you could in theory have those textures in folders of their own within the Texture folder. I know I do this in submissions and I’ve not once, in 6 submissions, had any issues with folder structures for my submissions.

Honestly, this is one of the more important points that needs to be discussed, at least from what I understand (though keep in mind, I’m not a modeller).

Regarding the folder structure discussion being had, at this point I honestly think sticking with the current standard is the right move, as there are 2200+ assets already matching that. Consistency is more important here than anything, and while I agree having a Marketplace folder at the top, or something similar, would have been ideal, changing it now seems counterproductive. Honestly, the fact that this is even a discussion being had when Epic aren’t requiring something absolutely bonkers feels like a waste of everyone’s time. I also, personally, much prefer having all Materials in a Material folder with a specific asset subfolder than the other way round, just to throw that in there. It makes far more sense to me, given assets are re-used and such, than the method that is being proposed by -Dev. I also don’t agree that it shouldn’t matter which approach is taken - I think maintaining consistency across the marketplace is one of the most important things to be considering with new submissions. We have to remember that a HUGE portion of the community may only be skilled in one specific area of the engine, so the more consistent it is, the easier it becomes, and the less hassle it is for everyone - including sellers (less support and such).

Consistency |= efficiency though. In my bundle for example, I have 5 of my packs that are in a folder structure as so:

>Starter Bundle
…>Modular SciFi: Hallways
…>Modular SciFi: Interiors
…>Modula SciFi: Command Center
…>Modular SciFi: Materials & Decals
…>Modular SciFi: Props I
…>Maps
…>Textures
…>Materials
…>Meshes
…>UE4 Example Assets

I can’t merge the individual texture/mesh/material folders into a folder in Starter Bundle. It would be incredibly confusing as users wouldn’t know which files corresponded to which pack. This way is the most organized, and efficient in understanding what belongs to what. I’ve sold my content on Gumroad with this setup and have had no one report any issues. If anything people had nothing but praise for how everything was organized in the bundle. A one size fits all solution never works for everything. This bundle is a perfect example of that.
