Hi,

Just wondering if there is any conventional folder naming that goes well with the editor?

If anyone reading uses maya you’ll know that when you create project, it creates a set of default folders for the content.

Also unity tends to have a common folder naming convention.

Anything similar I should be aware of in UE?

Chris
