Asset Browsers

There are two ways to spawn assets from Asset Packs: Blender Asset Browser and engon Asset Browser. We recommend using engon Asset Browser to spawn assets.

engon Asset Browser¶

engon comes with advanced asset browser that has many useful features such as advanced filtering and different spawn options. Read more about engon Asset Browser here.

Blender Asset Browser¶

You can also spawn assets from native Blender Asset Browser. All asset packs are automatically added into Blender Asset Libraries upon installation.

Make sure that you're using Blender 3.2 or newer

If you want to use the native Blender Asset Browser, you must use Blender 3.2 or a newer version. This is necessary in order to ensure compatibility.

Asset Browser Working

Working with Blender Asset Browser¶

You can now head over to Asset Browser inside Blender and after you select the suitable User Library (top left in the panel) addon assets should load. Initially it might take a while for previews to cache.

Please consult the official Blender Asset Browser documentation for more details.

Limitations of Blender Asset Browser¶

One potential disadvantage of using the Blender Asset Browser is that it may not have as advanced filtering options as our engon Asset Browser.

Append and Append (Reuse Data) work as expected, however Link behaves differently from the core addon functionality. The addon will create an empty that instances a collection that it automatically links. The Blender Asset Browser will just link the collection. This means that you will not be able to move it, unless you instance it.
