Blender Asset Browser - FULL Tutorial

This is a step-by-step tutorial on the new Blender Asset Browser in Blender 3.0.

The Blender Asset Browser is a new feature in Blender 3.0. It allows you to organize your asset library and import assets into your scene very fast. Objects, materials, poses, images and sounds are all assets which you can use with the Blender Asset Browser in Blender 3.0.

The Blender Asset Browser is available in Blender 3.0. A lot of changes were made to it in the development so most tutorials are already out of date. I'll show you how to download Blender 3.0, how to set up your asset library folders, how to organize your assets (objects, materials, etc) and how to append assets into your scene with a simple drag and drop.

The Blender Asset Browser is not a true Asset Library but it is going to be a game changer for a lot of artists, especially kitbashers or anyone who uses assets over and over in their scenes.

Linking is not at all useless! When you link an object, you can apply a library override, to allow you to pose a character rig for example. So when you do changes in the original character file, it will be updated on the linked object, the changes will be applied but the pose or animation will remain! so it is super usefull for animators/ riggers to change rigs or models easily without loosing all the animation in the different scenes.

Thanks for this much-needed clarification of AB. Great job in the choice of information its order and the delivery. No stupid splash, just straight to the point, no background music, Clear voice audio at an articulate speed of talking, Simple examples that concentrate on the subject NOT trying to show off personal work, No vain video insert of you in the corner of the video. Also much appreciated is the warning that this is still a BETA and things may change. I so wish vloggers would edit their libs and delete the out-of-date videos. It's like keeping a broken tool, it's only in the way and could harm if used.

Superb introduction to Asset Browser!

11:03 Nicely shows why you should create your assert library with correct dimensions so you don't need to manually scale items and people when you drag assets from the library to your scene.

Finally we have an integrated file browser.
I do hope that with future version they make it more user friendly ( it seems a bit complicated for now or is it just me!!?) specially and strangely compared to other Files browser add-on ($) on the BMP

I'm on blender 4.1 now and just wanted to thank you. This is STILL the best tutorial I've found.

[precisechaos]

I have literally sat here for like 20 minutes trying to figure this out and by 3:50 you already answered my question and I'm up and running. Thanks man

[joelwalden]

This video was an enormous help, thank you for making it so comprehensive and thorough. The part where you explain how you can only alter the data and catalog information while you're inside the specific file was particularly helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!👍

[andreas_resch]

Great video. Although the fact that you can't add assets on-the-fly is a big letdown. Always having to copy the asset to the designated file before and then tag them as an asset is not very time-efficient.

Thanks for the concise, yet detailed tutorial on Blender's new asset browser feature. This helped me get started with the new feature in just 10 minutes!

[rontarrant]

This is the third asset browser tutorial I've watched and it's the first that really explained it well. Thanks.

[_nomad]

this is the most comprehensive guide on asset browser that exist on the internet, thank you ! <3

[robertYoutub]

The Linked Option, is my game changer. So cool for references or in teamwork

[TheAllinder]

That was excellent. I watched a few tutorials on Asset browser but you felt like you actually sat down and said THIS is why THIS works like THAT.

Btw, if you're getting grey or viewport coloured Previews in your Asset Browser and you want them textured/coloured - select the Viewport Shading dropdown in Solid mode, then select Texture instead of Material. If you head to Shading tab, you will find that the colour will be based on whatever node you last selected (so select your Base Colour node) - very weird but this solution solves it on a Refresh!

[AnimatedHealthcare]

A really solid video - covers all the key technical points in perfect amount of detail. Best video on this subject I've come across. Great stuff!

[timvw]

+1 for explaining how to save to catalog organisation in the library

How to get to the Current File of an Asset to change the name? At 8:10 when he talk about that you only can change the Asset, when you are in its current file. He should mention that if you are not in the current file, you see in the Asset description, behind Source: the Path to that File. Behind it you can click on the shown Tool Icon to open direct this file. Then you can change this Asset there and close the file again.
Thanks for this amazing good Tutorial. It's the best I found for understanding the Asset Browser!

[CarlosGomez]

Thanks a lot!! Assets browser is a powerful new Blender's feature and this tutorial makes it very easy to understand how it works.

[AndImages]

Thank you one of the clearest explanations I have seen so far...

[realxrust]

Thanks a lot, such detailed tutorials are rare, this is gold. And you have a cool voice and intonation, it’s a pleasure to listen to you!
