The main information are assetName/shotNr, task and version
shotName, author and comments can be saved as metadata and will be shown by the apps.
- assetName_TASK_version.extension cat_RIG_v001.mb
- shotNr_TASK_version.extension s010_LGT_v001.mb
- shots are counted in 10 steps (s010). Inbetweens start with 5 (s045) and then above (s046) and bellow (s044).
- shots start with a s (to avoid software conflicts & differentiate to other namings)
