5.1. Introduction

Basic instructions for naming

The very first idea is to avoid "_" as separator for names.

The "_" separator was used in the 80's But Generates very complex names difficult to understand.

MAL_UND_FACT_HD is not a very frendly name.

Instead of using a separator we will use Capital letters as separator.

MalevitchUndergroundFactoryHD is more sweetable. It's a bit more long but is much easyer to understand.

There is two kind of names.

Names for files and Names for object inside a file.

This rule is not really strict but we should try to respect it.

So a mesh in a file will be named carWheel01 and not CarWheel01

But for a reference the name should be CarWheel01 Because the name refer to a file not to an objet.

The same convention will be used for script, variables and any other name.

To separate the numbers of multiple objetcs with the same base name you will have to use letters that mean something instead of "_"

So the weels of a car will be named this way:

carWheel01

carWheel01P001
carWheel01P002
carWheel01P003
carWheel01P004
carWheel01P005

 

carWheel02

carWheel02P001
carWheel02P002
carWheel02P003
carWheel02P004
carWheel02P005
