I just finished creating a megapack of textures and tried uploading it, but the submission system won't allow more than 10 mb at one go.

Even if I break the upload into parts, I'll have to fill in the same information every time, and upload the pack image and thumbnail image of the same pack every time, considering that the system won't allow me to upload unless all asterisk marked fields are filled.

My zip file size is more than 40 MB. Can anybody offer any suggestion?

I tried phoning RA from India, which is pretty costly at indian tariffs, but only find an answering machine, which I abhorr.

Can anybody provide some guidance?

You can upload the pack in parts as long as each part is clearly marked as is the rest of the information on the form. I know it is a bit of a pain to fill in the form several times but the rules for the submission form are pretty strict on sizes and it won't be accepted if not conformed to.

Alternatively you can send Zack an email and explian your problem. He may be able to offer an alternative method of uploading your content. Contact him using the address below.

Just as a matter of interest, are the textures in JPG format? If they are then it really must be a bumper bundle of textures you have put together.

Thanks for the response.

I had already mailed developer@reallusion.com. I am waiting for the response, which I guess can get delayed by the weekend.

I'll also divide the stuff into parts and see if it works.

My question is, if everything except the zip file is identical in the forms submitted repeatedly, including pack name etc., won't something get goofed up? Anyways, I'll make the try and find out. I'll also keep on posting my experience here.

I thought posting this problem was important, in case other newcomers find similar problems in the future. They can have this thread for reference.

Yes, everything is in jpg format, with a revolutionary approach to texture packs. For me, Re-gular Evolution means Re-volution.

One decent avatar fits in 10Mb. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for maximum size for downloads...The same limitation is generally used  for e-mails...

Thank you Shygirl for sharing necessary information. It will help all newcomers. And when I looked at your products I thought no more texture artists were needed at Reallusion. You seem to have covered every corner professionally and methodically. Bravo. I know when you see my pack, you'll love my textures for they are handpainted and orginally created. Your work is pretty good.

And thanks BigBoss. Your comment has set me to thinking, and yes in dealing with megapacks new formulas and strategies are required for while a mega pack might be bought by a consumer, nobody would like a huge download size. So I am working on that right now taking into account planetstardragon's suggestion. I'll upload to RA, following Shygirl's instructions after I handle the download strategy.

Owen's questions are mine too.

PS I am still to receive any response from Reallusion, and it has been more than 24 hours, but this forum not only solved my problem but put me in the right direction regarding my product in a jiffy. It feels great to be part of this community.

I truly look forward to seeing your hand painted textures, that is definately the best way if you have that kind of ability.
