Make sure you download version 1.5 not the previous. If it's not up, Rendo is pending the upload, but I see it on my end.
EDIT: Used in promo - Jani Heels G8f by Arryn/Onnel/Anagord, Curly top Hair g8f, FW Laverne HD for Monique 8

Thank you :) The idea is that an end-user should be able to just apply their wood shaders with no fuss.

Thank you Bryster. Now I feel like I need to render an office scene of some poor employee looking at their evaluation or something, and spewing a drink into the cubicle.
So here is a quick update on where the project stands and where it is going.
This door has been almost completely re-worked, optimized, and organized. The prop is now rigged with both left and right hand swing (120, 90, 60, 30, 0 degree open-close poses), with new materials, some elements now compatible with subd, and a double door subset with double wide jamb prop. Textures are chopped in half, some have been condensed and I took the liberty of saving out my masks in substance for the important bits. For example the jamb and door panels have a directional mask, for texturing wood grain (doubtful you would build the vertical panels of a door from a crosscut rip of mahogany, for example..). Some of the hardware is masked as well.
The promo scene I originally included transformed into me modelling transoms and windows for the door, with the same modern style

Yes, thank you for your input, and you are right. Let me also review myself. When I put all the files together and looked at what the size came to, I almost snorted my coffee. I have a checklist of things I'm going to do differently for my next piece from what I've learned by all this. It's the textures. Or rather, its the way I set them up. I modeled the item trying to squeeze as much texel density out of the uv maps as possible, for each little element, even where it would have made more sense to use a simple shader. For example I have some of the hardware, nuts bolts washers etc. which can only be seen in extreme close-ups textured on separate maps. In hindsight, I doubt anyone is going to zoom a centimeter away from the rubber grommet and inspect the roughness of it, haha.
So, I definitely need a break from this particular project for the time being, but I should like to revamp it at some point in the near future to be more resource efficient.

The door is uploaded. Check my freestuff area, and any feedback on the item is very appreciated.

Ok, that shouldn't be an issue. Thank you both for taking the time to comment. It might make more sense from a user-friendliness standpoint to split it anyway. So that would be one file with just the prop and its poses/morphs , templates and geometry files, for those that have no interest in textures, or would only end up using their own regardless. Additional files could contain only the runtime textures, material presets and necessary data files , with a revised readme...

Thank you :) . . . I see how vendors do that for their products, but I'm honestly not sure how to go about it. As far as winrar I think I just have to add ".part#" suffix to the end of the files, but on the freestuff page does that mean I need to upload it 3 times like it is separate products?
