how to organize my 3D library ?

[lyca]

Hi all

 

after few years in 3D my library begins to grow to a very complex tree off folders, files and documents.

So i'd like to know how you guys manage all those files, what's the fastest way to found back the furniture or vegetation you need for your scene, maybe you know somthing like a plug in who classify and import 3D files directly into your scene in the same way RPC works. Anyone, any ideas ?

I personally use a number system before the object name, then a discriptive name. ie, 0-07-greencouch..... using the "0" first separates my models and they always show up first in a scene. I tend to remember projects by year. Hope this helps.

We have a central library for max maps, effects, preset... and the directory are classified with specific name on user try to create any folder in this library, we can just add the map file into the folder. So we don't face much problem,
