The Naming Convention asset retains its name with this update, however there are a few changes with it, and you will need to recreate any existing assets using the new Asset Creation Path.
You can create this asset by selecting from the Top Menu Bar:
Assets -> Create -> Deep Space Labs -> Core -> Naming Convention
or by right clicking a folder (or inside a folder) within the Project Hierarchy and selecting from the pop up menu:
Create -> Deep Space Labs -> Core -> Naming Convention
By default this Asset is given the name NamingConvention, however we recommend changing this name to something that will better help you differentiate it with other Naming Convention Assets in the future.
The new Naming Convention Asset retains the Numbering Starts At 0 field, and it functions exactly the same as before. The special characters that previously existed are also still used. These include:
1) %g - Replaced by an Asset Chunk Group's Group Name.
2) %y - Replaced by a Cell's Row Number.
3) %x - Replaced by a Cell's Column Number.
4) %z - Replaced by a Cell's Layer Number (only necessary if the Asset Chunk Group is 3D!).
5) %c - Replaced by the Chunk Number of the Asset Chunk, in situations where Multi-Chunking is being used.
There are now two format fields on the Naming Convention asset, the first of which is the 'First Chunk Format' field. In most cases, this serves as a replacement for the old Format field and you can copy whatever Format you had in your old Naming Convention asset to it. The format is used to construct the names of the first Asset Chunk belonging to a Cell, regardless of whether the LOD Group that Chunk belongs to uses Multi-Chunking or not.
This is a new field that is only used with Asset Chunk Groups using Multi-Chunking. The format is used to construct the names of the second, third, fourth, etc., Asset Chunk belonging to a particular Cell.
There is a new special character that must be present in this format, which is %c. All instances of %c are replaced by the Chunk Number of the Asset Chunk, in reference to the Cell it belongs to.
If you are not using Multi-Chunking, you are free to ignore this field, however if later you decide to start using Multi-Chunking, you will need to come back and edit it!
Remember that the Naming Convention asset can be used with both 2D and 3D Asset Chunk Groups. If you are using it with a 3D group, the %z special character should be present in both format fields. Leave it out only if the groups you are using the Naming Convention with are 2D.
