Asset Naming

Assets are prefixed with a short acronym for their type to make identification outside of Unreal faster:

Animation	A_
Animation Blueprint	ABP_
Animation Montage	AM_
Aim Offset	AO_
Blueprint	BP_
Data Asset	ClassName(DataAsset)_
Material	M_	Material Naming

Sound Cue	SQ_
Sound Wave	SW_

• Asset source files such as .psd or .blend should be suffixed with _Src. For example: SM_Prop_House_1stry_01_Src.blend
• Mesh LODs are suffixed with _LOD#. For example: SM_Prop_House_1stry_01_LOD0.fbx
