I have been telling many artist to follow naming conventions, it not just applies to 3D artist but also to 2D artist. I remember when giving training to new comers at Prime Focus, how important is naming convention and this has always the first topic, I've covered. Today while reading a TD's blog I came across his post, which I am going to re-blog it here.
The naming convention doesn't just mean naming of filename but also the name of a node, element etc.
