True-Assets helps you manage

your existing materials, HDRIs and models

Key Features

The most intuitive features broken down

USD, FBX and OBJ asset automation...

True-Assets offers functions for automating the 'assetization' of .USD ,.OBJ and .FBX files in as little as 3 mouse clicks. Object/s imported, textures found and materials added all at once!

Quick-Swap...

Got something in your scene you wanna swap out? Too much hassle matching the scale, rotation and location? Quick-Swap it. One-click replace the active object with ANY object in your asset-library.

Material library automation...

Point True-Assets to a folder of texture sets, tell it which of our awesome built-in shaders to build materials on and let it rip. In as a little 60 seconds, you can have your texture libraries converting into materials for use in the asset browser.

HDRi library automation...

Tell True-Assets your HDRi library location, make yourself a sandwhich and you'll come back to a cleverly organised set of world shaders using the HDRI library you've managed to hoard over the years.

Convert old or existing blend files into asset catlogs...

The feature that started it all! True-Assets was specifically designed to take your old and dust-collecting blend files, and convert the objects, collections, materials and worlds all into assets in the asset-browser so you can always access them in one click and drag.

Custom shaders...

We'd be remiss to say that our shaders are the cream-of-the-crop. We've carefully crafted 6 principled-based custom shader groups, so you always have the right shader setup for your material and worlds libraries. Turn your texture based mats, into semi-procedural PBR goodness!

Inside Blender

After installing True-Assets, your imported materials and HDRIs are available right inside Blender's Asset Browser.

See docs

Instant Access

True-Assets streamlines importing and managing your own libraries for fast access to materials, worlds and assets. Just drag and drop.

Feature time...

Materials

True-Assets has multiple options for materials. It allows you to choose from 3 preset custom made material types: Uber, Plastic and Organic. Uber deals with everything else the other two don't (Woods, Metals, Rocks etc).

All shaders come with custom controls for manipulating things like Roughness, Colour values, Metallic levels, Subsurface scattering, Translucency (Great for fabrics and Leaves/Grass). All shader controls can be found in the material tab in Blender.

Worlds

Creating worlds will allow you to choose what file-type you want True-Assets to create worlds from (EXR, HDR, JPG etc). At the point of creation, worlds will be generated with a thumbnail image of the sky so you always know what one you're dropping into a scene.

World shaders also come with custom controls for things like; Colour manipulation, Light intensities, Cleaning up the horizon lines, Blurring the whole image, Vector controls and more! Once dropped in your scene, controls are found in the World tab in Blender.

Catalogs

An asset manager wouldn't be very good if you couldn't Catalogue your assets! Well... We're the good kind.

You can create Catalogs either right in the Asset manager under the True-Asset sections OR right from the import section. So when you create materials from your texture collection, they go exactly where you expect without rummaging through thousands of icons.

KitBash Support

You asked, we provided.

We know how awesome KB3D kits are, but we also know they can be a nightmare to get into the asset manager in one piece. True-Assets has a toggle on the import section to define if a blend file is a KitBash file or not, if so, we do all the hard-work identifying the collections in those files, joining all the meshes for their respective groups, setting the rotation and and dropping them into your library as a single mesh!

QuickSwap

For when you need to change an object in the 3d viewport, but can't be bothered to manually line everything up!

QuickSwap-it!

FBX and OBJ Support

That's right! There is no longer any need to go through the hassle of trying to import your FBX or OBJ files into each scene everytime you need them.

Just point True-Assets at any folder with FBX or OBJ's in and it'll automate the import process, materials if supported, and then categorising them in the Asset Browser so you can always access them when you need them!

Windows Context Menu

You don't even need to go into Blender to automate asset marking! If you're on windows, you can install the windows context menu tool from True-Assets preferences so even if you're just doing a spring clean of your drives and come across a gem of a Blend file, you just right-click it and create assets!

The UI

Simple User Preferences

Really simple users preferences
Choose what keymap you want for the "Mark assets and quit" function, and what assets to mark.
Choose the location of your True-Asset libraries. That's it!

Importing things

Importing your asset libraries is offensively easy!

We have a history of creating addons with tonnes of options with 100s of variables, and thousands of outcomes. This time around, we decided to make it super simple.

Importing from another .Blend

The obvious one!
‍
Marking assets from another blend file without ever going into that blend file... Magic.
Just choose the asset types that you want to bring in; Meshes/Materials/Node Groups/Worlds/Blah Blah. Choose the icon type you want, then hit that blue button at the bottom! Boom, now you've got stuff from old files always available!!!

Turning HDRIs into Worlds?

The UI here is super simple too. Select your directory, choose the file-types you want to create worlds from, choose if they go into a catalogue on import, choose if we're packing those images so you can have those files stored in the .blend we make, and finally choose if we're snooping in sub-directories for other file types or not.

Get'cho texture library sorted

Again, super simple to import textures into True-Assets. Point it at a directory, choose your shader type and BLAMMO all your wonderful textures, paid, cc0 or *cough* unscrupulously acquired will just be brought in and made into shaders. PS. You can make them go into a catalogue from here too... Just trying to make your life easier.

Doing things in the Asset Browser

Once you imported yo' stuff, this is where you'll be spending most of your time.

We got options for re-rending your icons with different camera angles. Options for deleting stuff you don't like. Options for making new catalogs, moving things to catalogs, and also jumping right into the source file and editing anything a little skew-iff.

Organising all the 'things'

Select some things, click a button, categorise them. Simples.

Deleting some of the 'things'

Don't like something, select it OR them, click a button; Bye Byeeeeeee

Marking assets and walking away

Been working hard on a project? Got some Suzanne's that you just spent too much time on? Don't want to mark all the assets? CTRL+W to save, mark and close the project!

FAQs

All the most commonly asked questions, answered below

Why is True-Assets a paid tool?

True-Assets has always been a paid tool. The functions it provides are built and maintained by people who work full-time on our products.

That includes support, tutorials, documentation, community channels and regular updates.

The price reflects ongoing development and long-term maintenance so the tool remains reliable for production use.

Do you support USD with True-Assets?

Yes, as of version 4.1, True-Assets does indeed support USD (Universal Scene Description). This update allows users to benefit from the versatility of USD, including its extensive composition capabilities, performance optimization for large scenes, interoperability with various 3D applications, extensibility for custom data types, and support for efficient, high-quality real-time rendering. Please ensure to consult the latest documentation or reach out to True-Assets support for further assistance and guidance on how to use USD within the software.

Do I need to sign up to True-VFX to use this?

No. You can use True-Assets without signing up for a separate account.

If we ever add optional account features in future, they will be for convenience and updates, not to block core functionality.

Does True-Assets come with custom shaders?

Yes, True-Assets comes with pre-built shaders for materials and worlds, meaning all you need to do is point True-Assets at your texture or HDRi library, and we'll automate the creation of Materials and Worlds with whatever shader type you choose.

Currently there are 4 material shaders and 2 world shaders to choose from. World and Material have 1 basic principled workflow, and then Uber shaders for the others.

Are there limits on importing assets?

True-Assets does not impose hard limits on how much content you import into your own libraries.

Practical limits depend on your storage, system performance, and the terms of the content source you are using.

Can I use True-Assets for commercial use?

True-Assets can be used for any purpose.

Please always confirm the license terms of any third-party content you import into your asset browser and ensure your usage complies with the original creator's terms.

What are the price differences for?

True-Assets is a single user license, so if you work or have a group of people wanting to use this tool, then a license should be purchases per user.

If you have a team or group of 5 or more, then we have tried to reduce the confusion by offering a flat rate of $249 which covers any teams of 5 or over users.
