There are several options which have different time investment on your end:
Clean incoming files
The task goal is to create a Python hook file for every each vendor to deal with handle their specific naming conventionconventions. Creating By implementing different ingest logic allows you to rename to incoming texture layers in one , you can standardize incoming texture layer names under a unified naming convention.
This ensures consistency, keeps everything nice and tidy and allows for better organized, and enhances integration into your pipeline and workflows since it all follows the same patternby maintaining a uniform structure.
Pro
well structured files on disk
less work using the textures in production
easier to automate task in your pipeline
...
External preview generation
You can use an external 3D external tool to generate previews. For example , such as a turntable rendering of the texture set applied to an 3d model in certain a 3D model under specific lighting conditions or in within a neutral grading workflow. The preview can be a single image or , a movie file/, or an image sequence that gets render by rendered through your internal pipeline.

Ingest original previews
Some texture sets provide you ship with a preview of that textureimage. A less time consuming option quicker method is to ingest only ingest that preview and , then simply copy the entire texture folder along with all it’s its additional files. This keeps approach preserves the original folder structure as it is. However, however if you don’t ingest the additional files via through Das Element, it has no relationship with the files on disk any they will know show up inside they won’t be linked to the database and won’t appear in the Gallery View.

less time consuming
keeps original structure and file naming
