The Asset Manager lets you manage places and bulk import assets into your experience, including images, meshes, packages, audio, and models.
Asset Folders
Assets are organized within folders based on their type. You can switch between grid view and list view by clicking the view toggle button.
Importing Assets
The bulk import tool is ideal for importing up to 50 files in one batch.
Imported assets enter the moderation queue and are only visible to you within their respective folder and within the Creations tab of the Toolbox. Assets pending moderation display a yellow clock icon, while assets that fail moderation display a red exclamation icon.
Images
You can import images in .png, .jpg, .tga, or .bmp format for use as textures/decals on parts, UI elements, mesh textures, textures for custom materials, textures for special effects, and more.
Meshes
You can bulk import meshes in either .fbx or .obj format, although this workflow does not support complex meshes such as those with rigging, skinning, or animation data. For complex meshes, it's recommended that you use the 3D Importer, located in the Home tab.
Audio
You can import audio assets that you are certain you have permission to use in either .mp3 or .ogg format. If you're uncertain whether you have permission to use an audio file, the Creator Marketplace has a variety of free-to-use audio, including more than 100,000 professionally-produced sound effects. See Audio Assets for details.
Filtering Assets
The top bar contains an input field that lets you filter assets in the current folder. When you type in a filter query, the view updates to show matching assets.
Inserting Assets
You can insert assets into the 3D view by dragging-and-dropping or by right-clicking the asset name/tile and selecting Insert.
