:::spoiler nomenclature

 1. the **UpperCamelCase** is a tool in the shelf that transform all the NameObject with correct UpperCase letters. 
    - the **UpperCamelCase** always uses a **UpperCase** at the first letter of the Word
    exemple : if you want to name a mesh (ex : pink skull desk) write **P**ink**S**kull**D**esk. The CamelCase will automatically change it the way it must be according to the process. 

2. **PREFIX :** all meshes must start with a prefix

    - C_ : Only for **symmetrical** meshes and at the **center of the world**
    - L_ : Only for meshes at the **Left** of the **symmetrical** part and at the **center of the world**
    - R_ : Only for meshes at the **Right** part of the **symmetrical** mesh, and at the **center of the world**
    - U_ : for every other case

    ![](https://i.imgur.com/Ig2vkHr.jpg)
    
Prefix is determined as followed : 
![](https://i.imgur.com/WuNlma3.jpg) 

:warning: Do not use **PREFIX** for top node :warning: 

    
3. **SUFFIX** : the suffix is the last information of your mesh
    - In your outliner you can have groupe, mesh or top
    - For a topnode use **_Top**
    - For a mesh use **_Msh** 
    - For a group use **_Grp**

    ![](https://i.imgur.com/8n79K6u.jpg)


4. **GROUP** : When you have multiple meshes with the same name, you must regroup them in group :
   
   - Always name the group with a padding of 2 : (01, 02, 03...) 
   - The mesh must have a same name of group
   - Use a padding of 3: (001, 002, 003...) to name meshes with the same name (ex : Flower01_**001**, Flower01_**002** etc. These will be in the group "Flower01")

    ![](https://i.imgur.com/aVpIJCX.jpg)
    
5. **CENTER PIVOT** : 
    - If your MDL is not at **center of the world**
    
    ![](https://i.imgur.com/jaDxrOC.jpg)
    
    - Replace its pivot and put it at the **center of the world**

:::spoiler time line

8. change your time line maya to have your **range slider** in **25 fps** and your **time range** between 1 and 100

9. - [ ] Once all of these tasks are done, delete history.
   - - to do so, select all your mesh and groups in the Outliner
   - - Edit > Delete by type > History

10. - [ ] Save scene as...
     - - Use the correct naming : AssetName_Default_MDL.v001
	 - - "Default" means it is the first asset, it is not a variation. 
	 - - **Make sure you are saving your scene as a .ma and not .mb**

:::success
Save the scene under : **P:\SHOTGUN\Pirata2\assets\ELT\NameAsset\MDL\work\maya**

### ASSEMBLY

:::danger
Assets have been renamed since second migration. Please note that there is no longer "ELTS_" in the naming. 
Nomenclature is now : AssetName_VariationName_step_additionalInfosIfNeeded.v###.ma"
ex : **BiscuitTray01_Base_STG.v001.ma**
:::

1- Open file from **P:\SHOTGUN\Pirata2\assets\NameAsset\Reference\Publish** and apply the exact same process as for ELTS. 

---

2- When saving the file, please use the new Naming of **list n°2 of SG_Listing sheet.** 
There is noted the corresponding names from the old migration to the new one. 

---
3 - File saving location : 
The location will depend on the nature of the asset. 
If MDL folder doesn't exist, you should find a STG (=stage) folder to save your file in. 

**<center> :warning: If you save the file in STG folder, make sure to rename the file with "STG" and not "MDL" in the step part of the name. 
ex : BiscuitTray01_Base_STG.v001.ma </center>**

Location of the new file should be in : **P:\SHOTGUN\Pirata2\assets\NameAsset01_Base\MDL or STG or else\work\maya**
