Import and Apply Assets
The process of importing and applying assets from Asset Library is simple and works consistently across all categories:
Open Asset Library
Browse through the categories or use the search bar to find the asset you need. Select an asset to view its details.
Use the preview section to view the asset in your effect. You can change the preview media here.
Import the asset:
Click Import to add the asset to your Assets panel without applying it to the scene
Click Import and apply to both import and immediately apply the asset to your scene
If you imported the asset only, drag and drop it from the Assets panel into the Hierarchy panel. The asset will automatically group itself in the appropriate render group.
Once applied, use the Inspector panel to adjust properties, such as materials, positions, or animations, to better fit your effect
Work With Prefab Assets
Prefab assets are pre-configured building blocks for effects. These can be applied with one click or by dragging and dropping them into the Hierarchy panel. Prefab assets can be identified by clicking an asset and locating the Type field.
Use the Latest Assets
Stay updated with the latest assets with blue notification tags! In the quick access bar, the tag appears in the Asset Library icon when new assets are added, disappearing after the first click or after 7 days.
Additionally, notification tags are displayed next to specific categories in the Asset Library window, helping you identify updated sections at a glance!
