Do people name shading groups?
 

Hi,

I watched people during tutorials stress that naming materials is important. I get that. But do people name shading groups? Just wondering.

I do, can get confusing if you have many many shaders all called blinn1, blinn 2 etc, especially if they are similar in colour.

Same as naming objects.

I typically don't, unless I need to for some reason. For instance, in Unreal, naming shading groups skin00, skin01, skin02, etc maintains the order for material IDs which is important.
