Clean asset imports means you can switch out objects, iterate quickly, find stuff, not have to piss around realigning things by hand in the editor.

A quick bit of advice for new #gamedev artists.
Work clean. That means:
Set your scale
Import at right scale
Import models at 0,0,0
Get pivot in right place
Freeze transforms/apply scale/collapse stack
Name your objects
Name your material slots
All this saves everyone pain.

Learn to set up your 3d app, painting app, Z brush and game engine so the scale and orientation for import and export is bang on 1 to 1 so you can round trip from engine to mesh, to texture to engine, back to zbrush etc. Round tripping makes for fast iterations.

Work clean. work clean. work clean. I cannot stress this enough for aspiring game artists.

Ahem ... SET YOUR PROJECT! This has been a reminder from your local tech artist who doesn’t want to have to reassociate all your assets to see what’s missing

Yes yes yes. This should be a habit to get into with personal and indie work. Especially indie work as you are possibly the everything.

During my career has not a single co-worker bothered to name their objects. Yet I'm the one they always ask to rig stuff :(

Send it back! I've refused to work on a file until the creator named everything properly. No untitled comp1, untitled comp2 crap! You're a professional dammit!

Potato_01 Potato_02 Potato_03 Potato_04 If i get to Potato_11 I delete Potato_01 so i never have more than 10 potatoes at the same time. Think about the potatoes.
