I might have been carried away with variants 
And forgot to share crates:

One size of crate?

One size for nowā¦ I even removed different barrel sizes. I need to see how Grants proposes to organize scene (now itās a mess ) and how he textures thingsā¦ at the end I will be able to create more variants.
btw. right now those object scales seems to be a bitā¦ bigā¦
ok, I just watched āorganising the modulesā lectureā¦ itās still a mess, but less of a mess. I am surprised that Grant is not loosing it with so many versions of cube.00*, cylinder.00* and plane.00*
I will do the organization by myselfā¦ like that
But before finishing the section Iāll look how some game asset creators on unreal marketplace and unity asset store organize their collectionsā¦ I might even create an asset pack just for the practice of it.

Sooā¦ I reviewed many packages by various asset creators for unity and unreal. Including those made by Unity and Epic. There is no magic there. Mostly itās just 1-3 levels of tree in directory structure with a few categories like buildings, props, nature etc. Sometimes creators are lazy and there is no organization at all (i.e., all the meshes in one directory).
I think there are just 2 important/consistent things that assets packs I looked at have in common: consistent naming convention and demo maps. Both of which help in discoverability of what a given asset pack has inside.
Sounds reasonable, basic sorting into groups. It is perhaps surprising there is no recommended structure, it would make creatorsā and usersā lives simpler and more consistant.
Demo Maps?

It definitely would. But if for example Epic has different conventions between their asset packs than I guess establishing āglobal standardā would be very difficult.
Demo levels, demo scenesā¦ Each software has different nomenclature . Basically an example layout and placement of assets. Like in the section would be - example dungeon layout.
