Folding Wooden Stool

This asset has an interesting history: It was initially modeled and submitted to Poly Haven back in mid-2022; following a round of feedback, it was retextured, resubmitted, and successfully donated…but it never got published on the site.
Which is understandable, because upon rediscovering the files on my computer earlier this year, I spotted a myriad issues with the mesh (and with the textures, too.) The fixes to the mesh were pretty basic, such as reducing the face count by around 3K faces just by deleting proximity loops, but I opted to do a full retexture in Substance Painter rather than try to salvage the old textures.
It’s nice to see how far I’ve come in terms of modeling, but it’s also mortifying to think at some point I deemed the mesh “good enough for sharing”. :sweat_smile::rofl:
