Re: Naming your mesh objects in Maya or other 3D software
Just learn to use naming conventions, it takes very little effort upfront but can lead to huge benefits later on when the project gets big. Also proper naming conventions really speed up the export process to game engines, since that way your tech artists can setup import export scripts that automatically figure out if… -

Use a prefix for each type of object, ex. BLD_ for buildings, so that you can write/use scripts to filter out objects by name. Use a numbering convention for the suffix, ex. _0001, so you can visually see how many of each you have. Add descriptive info in the middle, ex. _WindowRed4x4. This will make your troubleshooting,…
