This is insanely cool, so much time saved, THANK YOU!!!

OMG! This is superb. I can't imagine the work that went into making this addon.

Please don't give up on perfecting this addon. You wouldn't believe how disorganized my downloaded assets are. With this, I can just create a blend file, batch import all assets that I would want to reuse later on, then mark them as assets so that when I create a new blend file, I can just go to my asset library and see everything.

This is really great. Can't wait for Blender 3.0b to see what more features you add. Thank you.

Since this video, some updates to assetlibrarytools have been made, in this comment ill keep track of everything new since this video was released.
I will make an updated video at some point, probably when blender 3.0 hits beta stage.

===Update v0.1.7===

* Added batch append from .blend files. Currently you can import objects or materials, with a few settings to control it.

* Added “Asset snapshot” into assetlibrarytools. Asset snapshot is its own standalone addon, which someone suggested I should include in assetlibrarytools, so I made some additions to the standalone addon, and then put the code into assetlibrarytools.

* Added “Clean up duplicate materials (simple)” to the utilities panel, this removes duplicate materials based on their name (the .000 at the end of a duplicate material name for example) and sets any material slots it removed materials from to the original material.
* Also added “change displacement scale on all materials” to the utilities, which can be handy.

* Made it possible to use all ambientcg download attributes (still some room for improvement due to these values being hard-coded, instead of downloaded)

* Improved FindPBRTextureType

* Added info text to asset downloader panel



===Update v0.1.8===


* Added xterm + konsole support for the asset downloader

* Batch 3D model import error handling

* Added “clean up unused materials” function

* Asset snapshot tweaks and fixes

* Modified FindPBRTextureType to make the code a bit neater, should still hopefully work mostly the same as before

Cool :-D !
in time, they might just call you up about integrating this in the standard addons :-D !

Hey I know this is pretty old post but I have hope :) I am not a computer guy and i jsut want to use this amazing add on as a designer. So the question is does it work on my mac? Cause you never mentioned it in the Video. Thanks in advance. And again this is a pretty cool thing you have done here. :)

hi, I can't find a way to batch import a folder containing hundreds of alphas, i want to import a collection of alpha as single textures to use as sculpting stencil

[uddhavpandya]

We really need free add-ons like this especially asset manager. I really appreciate you and encourage you to make more stuff like this and subscribed to you for more content.
As a professional 3d artist i like to spend my time to create some creative things rather than Creating materials everytime. Keep it up 👍

hello. i would like to import lots of pbr texture to blender. but when i select the folder and hit the import PBR textures. its say completed 0 material imported :D what did i wrong? please help me somehow

[glitchySi]

This looks great. Any idea why it finds 10297 assets but then displays "Found 0 assets that match the filters, with a combined size of 0 bytes (0.0 gigabytes) despite having the same parameters as the video?

[nickkalmamiski]

i guess it is not working anymore at least "Batch asset downloader"

my error message is : "Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases."

[mastart]

You are not maintaining this add-on anymore so it doesn't make sense to download it anymore. But is there an alternative you could recommend? Thank you very much

[KarenM]

Hi, I get an error message when I run the script. It says: The system cannot find the path specified. python" can't open file 'ALT_CC0AssetDownloader.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory. What did I miss?

The title says AssetLibaryTools (misspelled, missing r)
