The downside to this is if I change the folder name for on directory I will have to manually change it in Unreal and vice versa.

Examples of my folder layouts. Heavily inspired by DICE's methods of structure.

I used it to add more gore to my zombies but to also create high quality textures for a few props such as the ammo boxes which can be found in the game. The hand...
