Asset Files - File Naming

AssetName_Type_STEP.user.version.blend

ex: YokoYoshino_Char_MODELING.v003.blend

Rules:

• No Spaces, use PascalCase to denote word separations
• Keep asset names simple yet unique
• No special characters like +=#^*&^$()?!
• Underscored '_' separate items
• Dots '.' denote versions, users, or user tags
• If you can avoid using a last name or second word for the AssetName while keeping it unique, do so.
• Props always start with the name of the character they belong to, if applicable.
  ex: YokoNecklace_Prop_MASTER.blend

Possible Types:

• Char = Characters
• Prop = Props that are separate from Characters or Environments. Includes Vehicles.
• Env = Environments
• Fx = Effects
• Ast = Generic Assets that are part of a Library. Usually things like Trees, rocks, road signs, ect. Typically not linked into shot files directly.
• Lib = Library. This file contains several Generic "Ast" Assets.

Possible PROGRESS:

• MASTER = The main production file. This file is the only asset file that gets linked into shot files.
• MODELING
• RIGGING = also applies to geometry nodes
• SHADING
  
• COMP

Additional/optional tags:

After the dot '.' at the end of PROGRESS, the user may make notes as to where they left the file or who is working on it.
