How to add modifier suffixes?

Modifier Suffixes

When you have the same thing but in different versions, states, or with different notes, you can add modifier suffixes (separated by a dot .) to tell them apart. For example:

Skeleton.high.v001.blend

.high indicates it’s a high‑poly version
.v001 indicates the version number

Both .high and .v001 are modifier suffixes.
