Submission Guidelines

• All asset submissions must be distributable under the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses.
• Optimize all files before submission. Ensure no file is larger than it needs to be.
• Only submit files required by the asset.
• Keep asset files organized in their own directories.
• Meshes should be a reasonable resolution for their use case. There are no strict limits, however, be mindful of file size bloat in the repository.
• The inclusion of Blender (.blend) source files is highly encouraged. Do not include proprietary scene files from closed source apllications (.ma, .max, .psd, and the like) unless the tutorial requires a closed source application.
• Images and textures should be no larger than 2048 pixels square, and should be in .png format, unless required in the context of the tutorial. Terrain heighmaps and HDR image maps, for example may require more resolution and specialized formats.
