I see this is your first post so Hello and welcome to the forums :-)
Thank you for the thoughts but this is not going to work.
When starting out it is a good idea not to encrypt your files.
In D/S - Edit > Preferences ... there you can set your "name" ... "anon" is not generally done.
Under My Library > Runtime > Textures > name your subfolder ... having .png files in Hussein Saafan's Documents folder is fine on your computer, but nobody else's.
After putting the required images in a suitable subfolder, retexture the model using them, then save it out again as a figure/prop, possibly to the location My Library > Props > {your name}
When packaging up the freebie, you need then to copy everything into a set of empty folders using the same structure. This is then put into a .zip folder for sharing.
My Library > Props > {your name or product} .....
My Library > data > husseinsaafan > Laptop > Laptop > laptop.dsf [without this file the .duf will not work]
My Library > data > husseinsaafan > Laptop > Laptop > UV Sets > etc.
My Library > Runtime > Textures > {your name} ....
And then, people need to have a readme [text file] ... in order to use your model, they want to know if it can be used only for non-commercial projects - if it can be used commercially, etc.
Welcome to the world of 3D modeling :-)
Thanks for the advice, I tried again following it, please let me know if I did anything else wrong.
You seem to have missed out the "textures" folder within the "runtime" folder.
Keep up the good work. The first step is always the hardest!
Keep going Hussein, you're doing well for a first model and Catherine is great at helping people.
Looking forward the end result.
