Blender 3.0 is awesome the asset browser is exactly what I need for my next porject - THANK YOU THAT VIDEO! Is it possitble to change assets which are already in the lib and would these changes affect any other project which has gathered changed assets? That'd be neat! Best Greetz! o/
I bought a materials pack by another creator that supplied horrible instructions that did not work. Your video was so helpful, I bought your #5 pack and will be back for more! Arigato!
I love that Blender is trying but there is alot of room for improvement such as the limitation of me needing to open the Blend file where the asset comes from in order to organize and label things. Also if it didn't have to follow actual folder hierarchy it would be 100x better. Thank you for this in depth tutorial.
Thank you, you do a lot of tutorials for things that get skipped over by other youtubers and i'm always left wondering how tf they got there! Really appreciate your thoroughness
A lot of the videos i was looking at dont explain that you need the file (or a copy) to have the models appear in your asset library outside of the original file. thank you for the clear explanation.
I've been using Blender for several years now and previously I would create individual files with their objects but now I can create a library and pull assets that I've previously created and have a better workflow when composing individual scenes! Thanks for the tutorial😀
Cheers Ryan for a simple to understand explanation of the basics. I can see this being a massive time-saver once I've created some initial asset libraries. I must admit my Blender housekeeping leaves much to be desired and your tutorial has shown me how I can make things neat and tidy and (hopefully) keep it that way. One problem I did face when creating some assets was getting the orientation/origin correct so that objects were the right way up when I drag them into my scene. Perhaps that's something you could cover in a future video? Keep up the good work, love watching and learning from you.
Thanks! yeah, maybe I can make a video on that. Although, I've never actually had that problem. My assets are always added with the correct rotation. But I will try to look into that. 👍
This is really great that you have made a very good tutorial for the new Asset Browser. I have already found out a little myself. But some I did not know yet. Thanks for this tutorial
I'm gonna have to restructure my computer folders so everything is in one spot and not all over the place on my computer LOL. I've been meaning to do this for awhile but that new asset browser is pushing me in that direction. Pity it doesn't do collections yet because sometimes joining meshes has unexpected results if the modifiers are still active on some parts and haven't been applied yet. I'm gonna dive into this tonight, tomorrow, this week, rest of the year hahahaha. Thanks Ryan!
You made it understandable. Thanks to this tutorial I've been going through all my files and turning the items that I could use in other projects into assets. There were a lot of files with one or two items so I just created an additional asset file like "Furniture 1 or Furniture 2" or Material 1 or Material 2 and appended the items I thought would be useful and moved that file into the appropriate file folder in the asset library I only needed to mark each item as assets and create subfolders where necessary. It worked perfectly. Not sure yet if there is a maximum number of subfolders allowed in in the asset library. Selecting "all" and hitting CTRL A and choosing Scale and Rotation was necessary.
The new asset browser is great! I've been using it since Blender 3.0 dropped and I absolutely LOVE it. Fantastic video as always my friend! I hope you have a great rest of your weekend! 😃
8:47 I was today years old when I found out that you can zoom in on open windows in file explorer in windows just like you can with most other things by holding CTRL-Mousewheel. Thank you.
Yes! In the file browser you can Use: Control + Scroll Wheel to Zoom into the files. Although I'm actually using the Linux Mint Operating System, not Windows. : )
I really hope Blender continues to create features like this, as well as features for teams of people working on one file. The latter usually requires paid cloud servers though, but a man can dream :)
Very helpful. It shocks me, though, at how unnecessarily complicated it is to set it all up. A lot of those initial steps could just be setup already with example materials, meshes, etc. ready to go. Blender Foundation strikes again.
@@RyanKingArt it does if you have to go through all those steps for each of 1000+ assets.I recently subscribed to iMeshh and downloaded an entire library of archvis assets that work beautifully in their iMeshh Asset Manager -- which uses a simple folder/subfolder setup -- but the downside is that the Asset Manager update for 3.0 is still several months out. So to be able to use the assets in the 3.0 Asset Browser will take a huge amount of legwork, as most of the items consist of multiple separate pieces that will have to be first joined to be one mesh, then the textures will have to be packed into the .blend file, which then must be copied over to the Asset Browser folder (which means double storage), and then set up using the multiple steps presented in the video. Times ~1000.
@@RyanKingArt huh, no kidding. I tried with the Blender file view in Outliner and the option for images was ghosted. I need to try again. Thanks again!
I purchased 4 of your Procedural Materials packs. Love your tutorials. Do you have one on how to set up a new version of Blender and then how to move those setting to newer versions of Blender when they come available.?
If you have come across this video like me and felt frustrated about not being able to save collections as assets, well NOW you can now save collections in Blender 3.2 - once you drop them into your scene use ctrl+a and click Make Instance Real. ♥
Wonderful Tutorial as always Ryan, you deserve more likes and views. Question: Once the assets are in the Asset Browser, are the .Blend files within the respective assets folder meant to remain there indefinitely? What if they are moved or deleted?
Thanks much for the vid. Is there a way to attach one or more text tags to a material, and then later search for all materials with a given tag(s) regardless of the folder the asset is in?
Yes there is. I should have gone over that in this video. If you select the material in the asset browser, and then press N, to open the side panel, there is a tag section. You can add tags to different assets. : )
Thank you for the video; it is very clear, comprehensive and helpful as always! How come the two instances of the bush have different colors at 12:43? And is there a way to change color/material without `making instances real`?
Thanks for this nice tutorial! I have a couple questions: -Does Blender create a main .blend file where it stores the assets or are the assets kept in their original .blend files? -If the latter is true, would you say it is better to have a single .blend file with many assets or many .blend files with a single asset in each one?
Yes, that is true. The assets are appended into the new file, from the other files. I actually have no idea if its better to have only 1 file, or more. Personally, I prefer to break it up into separate files.
When u said Linux i got hit of nostalgia, i love Linux, too bad that unity have problems working Linux, that's the only reason I switched back to windows. As for add-on, i think it's great, it looks like it will speed up creating process a lot. I will give it a go!
Hi Ryan, I bought your Procedural Material Packs. How do you add multiple materials to an object using the library? It seems draging and dropping does not work in edit mode...
Hello. Thank you for purchasing. Because of how Blender's asset browser works, that is slightly tricky, but there is an easy work around. First, add two or more objects into the 3d scene, and add the different materials from the asset browser onto them. That will add the materials in the material dropdown, in the blend file, for when you want to add new materials. Then you can just go into edit mode of the object, and add the different materials into the objects material slots, and assign the different materials to the parts of the mesh, how you would with normal materials. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the great tutorial, I learned a lot 🙏🙏🙏, I have a question, Could you tell me what is the difference between "clear asset" and "clear asset (set fake user)" I read the manual and it says the second command "marks the data-block as protected" but when I perform the "Clear asset (set fake user)" it will delete the object from the asset browser and I can't find it anywhere 😓😓.
A fake user is basically making sure that the material isn't removed from the blend file, even if the material isn't on any objects. So If you clear the asset, but set a fake user, it should still keep the material data in the Blend file. so if you select and object and click on the material drop down, the material should still be there to add to objects.
Hi tnx for your amazing tutorial it helps me a lot I have a question when I import textures from photoshop and illustrator in vector it is pixelated in blender in 4k version how can I solve that problem thanks!!
this is awesome! but whenever i select multiple objects from the outliner and mark them as assets, they have the wrong rotation. can you help me with that? (their rotation is applied, and if i mark each asset individually, they have the correct rotation). I appreciate your tutorials
Can you "put" or "send" and asset from your working file into your external library? That's the most obvious workflow to me but can't figure out how to do it
Very Lear tut as always. Thanks mate. Just one question to blender org. Why not make internal database, like it’s done in davinci reolve where it stores all projects and setting. Hmm the procedure with separate blend file is a mess.
Very well done. Something I noticed on adding in some assets was there is a locator that is not set to the origin point on some of the models. For example; 5 items in a row all with the origins on local center. Each spread across the X axis. Dragging those in showed some of the objects null at random distances from the object origin. This isn't a huge issue but any suggestions?
... also, is there a way to make objects in the asset browser appear with their color(s)? In your tutorial, they are all gray. (I guess you knew beforehand the colors of the mushrooms to sort them by color.) Thanks.
The materials I mark as assets are shown in other blender files but I can't see my catologs. Only the two default categories are shown: All & Unassigned In Blender v3.3.0 :(
@@RyanKingArt Hi Ryan :) After I wrote to you, I found the issue. I assigned the wrong file path under the Blender Asset Libraries Path Settings. Now the problem is gone :)
usefull tip ! : with asset file open, ... drag drop an other file with assets, ... append this file, ... navigate to the materials ... select all (or the ones you want to add to your library) ... sort them ... save the blender file ... and you're done !
Ryan, Thanks for that. I've got it up an running, and surprisingly easily for me. Works well. Is there any chance of doing the same for the Pose Library? I thought it would be similar, it even might be, but I can't seem to crack it. The 'official' videos don't seem to relate to the current version. Thanks again.
One question, if u have more than one blenf-file in one directory, how will catalogs work? If I have two completly different folder structure, how will they combine one another?
@@RyanKingArt yes, that’s my question, how catalogs work. If I have sane catalogs in two different files will they merge? Like “car>paint” the two of them will become one or there will be two “car>paint”?
@@RyanKingArt Throughout its entirety, but look at the very beginning when you bring in the mountain for example. You drag it in, and then it SEEMS like there is an easy way that you are rotating the object. Could be wrong.
When I mark and send assets to the browser they are reflected sideways or upside down. any solution? If I have an asset mase up of many materials am I required to first join them all before sending to library? Thanks much.
Hmm... Maybe apply the rotation of the objects before you mark as an asset. Your second question depends on if your marking the object as an asset, or the material as an asset.
yeah, open up the asset blender file that you made all of the assets, and add the asset into that file. Or just copy and paste the blend file with the asset, into the folder with your other assets.

No, they will be combined in the asset browser. and you can also sort them into catalogs if you'd like to.
@@RyanKingArt yes, that’s my question, how catalogs work. If I have sane catalogs in two different files will they merge? Like “car>paint” the two of them will become one or there will be two “car>paint”?
how come you ddint do the materials and the models at the same time, do you need to save them separately?
No you can do them together if you want to.
I feel silly asking this but what setting do you have where you can easily rotate the items with the mouse?
Click and drag with the middle mouse button to orbit around your view.
@@RyanKingArt no no lol Im talking about when you bring in an object from the browser and quickly tweek its rotation
@@megan8494 when do I do that in the video?
@@RyanKingArt Throughout its entirety, but look at the very beginning when you bring in the mountain for example. You drag it in, and then it SEEMS like there is an easy way that you are rotating the object. Could be wrong.
Hi Ryan,
I'm using Version 3.4.1 of Blender and would love to have access to the asset browser/library!
When I mark and send assets to the browser they are reflected sideways or upside down. any solution?
If I have an asset mase up of many materials am I required to first join them all before sending to library? Thanks much.
Hmm... Maybe apply the rotation of the objects before you mark as an asset. Your second question depends on if your marking the object as an asset, or the material as an asset.
So for any new material or object I want to add, i need to save its origin blender file on the file path?
yeah, open up the asset blender file that you made all of the assets, and add the asset into that file. Or just copy and paste the blend file with the asset, into the folder with your other assets.
