OSC Asset Naming Schema v1.0

Production-specific extension of TR-VFX-IS naming conventions, integrating the OMC version model and the new Asset Origin + Era Code fields.

General syntax (3.1)

• Allowed: alphanumeric, 0-9, -, _
• No whitespace; parameters separated by underscore _; dashes - replace whitespace within a parameter
• Lowercase preferred, case used consistently
• Under 255 characters

Field sequence (3.2)

<showid>_<vfx-sequence>_<vfx-shot>_<image-type>_<origin>_<vendor-code>_<version-code>{_<era>}{_<identifying-description>}{_<spec-version>}{.<frame-number>}.<file-extension>

Positions: 1 showid, 2 vfx-sequence, 3 vfx-shot, 4 image-type, 5 origin (NEW, HC-011), 6 vendor-code (extended for agents), 7 version-code (+ OMC v2.8 versioning), 8 era (optional, NEW - era lock), 9 identifying-description, 10 spec-version, 11 frame-number (single-frame only), 12 extension.

Omission rule: if an optional field is omitted, surrounding underscores must still be present. Example: osc_sc03_0100_comp_cmp_a003_v003___sv01.00.1001.exr

Asset origin codes (2.5)

• arc: archive (retrieved, unmodified)
• enh: ai_enhanced
• gen: ai_generated
• cmp: composite
• (plus others per schema)

Notes

• Era codes come from the era look guide (sf/snd/kch/vhs/dig/ntrl).
• Vendor codes are extended for AGT-xxx agents (a003 = Gen-Video, a019 = Enhancement, etc.).
