:D hahaha Yeah, I’m not gud with marketing , so I guess the pirates are my accidental promo team. Only if they gave credit to the creator.
@Tashi59, always prefix all your files with your handle/name. Eg my textures/geo etc are always 3DC_Wood_etc... If you have purchased enough from Evermotion and KitBash you will recognize the format. These files generally get sent around to different studios at some point for other conversions or standard industry practices where they do don't steal your data but use it for processing their part of the workflow, they do recognize the prefixes after awhile and if they like the quality of your work will eventually recommend it to others. You can always go a step further and embed metadata into all your files but thats up to you.
Wonderful —thanks so much for sharing! I hadn’t really thought about the long-term benefits of using a personal prefix. I’ve used prefixes while working with studios before, but I always assumed it was just for pipeline consistency and protocol to follow. The idea of having my own custom name prefix for recognition and branding is something I honestly hadn’t consider before, but it makes a lot of sense. I’ll definitely start using custom brand prefix going forward. Appreciate the tip about embedding metadata too—that’s a next-level touch I’ll look into as I grow. i really appreciate the tips.
