How do you Organize Your Assets

[Matt McDonald]

We've always organized our assets (plants, vehicles, people, etc.) by vendor. This approach makes some sense in terms of knowing from where an asset comes from but if one vendor has provided the majority of assets one tends to only look in that folder missing out on possibly more suitable assets from another vendor. I'm curious how others manage this.

We use the Connector app by Design Connected. This way you can have them set primarily by vendor, but can also tag them with keywords such as "armless chair" or what not.

Scott,

 

I've been looking for a better way to organize my assets and materials. I am a small time freelancer in this industry so I don't have a huge library, but want to start organizing properly so I can expand and grow without creating headache down the road. Can the Connector app organize materials as well or just models? I do not use 3ds Max so I'm not able to use any of the organization plugins for that - looking for something that's Windows based.
