| - Layers & Groups can be copied to other texture variants and are expected to be identical if they share the same name | ||
| within the same texture set. | ||
| - Groups meant to be used to assemble an alpha channel are named `_alpha` and will be hidden before saving the image |
| textures (Pristine -> Damages, Summer -> Winter, ...). | ||
| - Layer & Group names are lower case and use common keywords such as "damage", "light", "barricades", "snow", or any | ||
| other name that gives it meaning. | ||
| - Layer & Group names may end on a texture variant suffix (`_d`, `_g`, `_e`, ...) which helps to identify the origin |
| textures. | ||

Suggestion:
- Saving and Conversion: Don’t manually export DDS files. Texture conversion should be automated by the build pipeline via Mod Builder to ensure optimal quality and file size.
