Synology Drive folder structure

blender

Directory structure for assets, to ensure that different Blender files are referencing things consistently.

/anim: Reusable animation items (e.g. slip portal)
/art: Sketches, concept art and CG character proof sheets
/images: Organized by source
/materials: Reusable shader settings
/mattes: Background art
/models: Props, planets, etc.
/renders: Output for model testing
/scripts: Python (or other?) scripts
/sets: Scenes per camera angle
/textures: Organized by what they usually color (cloth, nature, buildings)

Compositing

Only if doing some compositing in Blender

/vid: Stock video
/wav: Soundtracks and sound effects

Animating

Only if animating in Blender

/chars: Character models
/pose: Motion captures and animations of creatures
/rigs: Armatures of reusable rigs

production

Directory structure for episodes, special features, etc.

/audio: Prelim reading to final mixdown
/anim: Rough animatic (story reel) using storyboard and audio track
/mktg: Material for posters, banners, adverts, story copy, etc.
/preprod: Pre-production notes, planning, etc.
/ref: Reference materials incl. location shots, test photo shoots
/render: Organized by quick vs. final, per shot
/scenes: Separate blend file per shot (including any DVD extras)
/sched: Shooting schedule, etc.
/script: Story, screenplay, shooting script
/status: Administrivia
/story: Storyboard images
/vid: Imported video
/xtras: Extras and special features, incl interviews, actor bios, etc.
