SVN Folder Structure

Work in Progress

October 17th 2023 - The content of this page is currently being edited/updated.

Logic

• pre folder: like a sandbox, can be messy
• pro folder should be the very structured one
• Keep the structure as simple as possible, with assets / shots / others
• Inside an asset folder:
  • blend file
  • published folder
  • maps folder

Proposal adopted in October 2023:
