This is the biggest dwonside to any third party asset manager. However, it took quite a while for asset manger to get updated for Blender 2.80 so me and many others had to look for alternatives since sticking to 2.79 simply wasn't an option. This add-on can manage your scenes, materials and hdrs! You can sort all your assets by libraries and categories easily with the add-on, making it extremely useful for having an organized asset library to quickly and efficiently access later on.Īsset manager was early with its own built in thumbnail generator and is probably the reason why so many chose to use it. It has been around for a long time and is probably one of the most widely adopted. obj, fbx, hdr files will be found automaticly wherever you place them.Asset Management add-on is a paid asset manager. All the rest of the folders will import you models. So in folder named materials the addon will only import materials, and if the folder is called particles, then it will import all the particle systems. For simplicity i didn’t add any additinal ones.įor simple usage i made some hacks. You will see all your folders as categories, and if any folder has additional folders you will see them as subcategory. Manager tab is located in Viewport tool panel (shortcut key: N). Of course you can always render your own previews as 200x200.

It will render material view with eevee of your models, materials, and particle systems in one specific manner. Choose Library folder with your blends, in the addons settings.Īfter install you can also mark to render missing previews.

please consider supporting me and buing it from here: Support.

If you want to use most recent version use this link SimpleAssetManager.Simple, and small to modify code as you like. With Ctrl+scroll over the categories it is even faster.Dynamic, and custom categories: Except of material, and particle this addon will follow your library layout, folders and subfolders.Chocofur asset manager is almost perfect, but still, it had its cons: separate spaces for categories, and (i only assume) fixed categories. Asset flinger was nice, but the idea with previews was much better. None of the mangers I’ve tried was enough for me.

Works with objects (blend,obj,fbx), materials, particle systems and hdrs.ĭid this one due to dealys for internal asset manager for Blender.
