What’s an asset?
You’ll hear the word asset a lot. Asset is a common term in the world of 3D. Its meaning can be different depending on the context.
In Blender, an asset is any of the following:
- A material or world material
- A completed 3D model
- A node group
Pretty simple. An asset is just a completed thing that you can use in 3D to build your scene. It’s simply anything you’ve made – usually a single object – that’s stored in a .blend file on your computer. When we use the asset library, you’ll move all of your asset files into a central location.
Eventually, you’ll need a place to store your assets and a way to access them easily across projects. Enter the Asset Browser. With the Asset Browser, you’ll be able to access any of your saved assets from any Blender project.
