    Absolutely. The organizational aspect of working in Blender has been the topic of a few sleepless nights, for me, haha. I suppose everybody is going to have their own preferences for naming, so maybe I am approaching this topic the wrong way by asking “Is this right, or is this wrong?” or “How would you approach this?” Instead, maybe I should be asking…

    “What are the guidelines to establishing a good naming convention?”

    You already mentioned the most important aspect, which is consistency, but do you have any other insight on how I might define a unique naming convention, or can anyone point me in the direction of a decent article that’s been written about it?

    edit:

    Oh, yeah. I also wanted to ask you…why do you name your collections in all caps?

    edit again:

    I also think you’re onto something by establishing collections based on the workflow itself, such as naming one of the collections “Blocking Collection”. An obvious follow up to that would then be the “Modeling Collection”.
