So it's kind of complicated and unless a team has gone to some effort to make their projects easy to distribute, it's probably not worth the effort of making the project files public.

However, I am pretty sure that there is a way to compress all of those resources into a format that can be distributed as a single file. It does this automagically when network rendering. But this still leaves the problem of having really big file size when you include all the textures and external files.

Edit - Also, please name your threads something descriptive.
you should have organized all of your textures and know where you got them from, So you just put everything in a folder then zip it.
