Batch generate asset browser previews

Overview

When dealing with hundreds of library files it becomes tedious to mark their contents as assets.

Using python to automate the process is a perfect fit for such task.

However marking objects as assets using python doesn't automatically generate their previews like using the interface does.

This aims to mark all objects as assets and generate the preview of all files in the folder the user selects.

It might bug out if the file contains hundreds of objects. It is recommended to keep a low number of objects per file.

Go to File > Import > Batch Generate Previews

image

In the file selector, navigate to the folder where the blend files are located. Validate.

Count ~ 2 seconds per file to generate their assets and previews. It's a good idea to enable the console with Window > Toggle System Console beforehand so you can see how many files you have marked yet.

Example Result :

    I'm not able to enable this module on Blender 3.2.0 Beta. It seems to correctly install but states no module found. I don't believe this is related to the pinned issue #35, but I've been wrong before.

    All catalog moving/ removing operations suffer from the same issue that they have no input values to choose from. These values can also not be typed in. This happens when trying to change catalogs for files on disk in Blender 3.1.

  • Perhaps add studio setup for previews [IDEA]

    Perhaps add studio setup for previews [IDEA]

    Found your asset utils through the cutaway shader of the BlenderBIM. I also bumped into this studio light setup file. Perhaps would be nice if such a thing, or this one could be added in the process. Would allow for nicer thumbnails.

    Its not using any HDR, but could use very simple small one. Guess it would need extra code so the object or studio will be scaled to the studio size or visa versa

  • Filtering assets by tags and tagging multiple assets manually.

    Filtering assets by tags and tagging multiple assets manually.

    I'm currently working on some modular level kits for creating game levels and have need for multiple collections with overlapping assets for ease of access during level design. Given that catalogues have A nested structure that makes this specific use case difficult. I turned to tags to immediately discover that they are barely implemented in default blender, which is how I found this project.

    After using this addon to set tags for a short while I've come up with two improvements that I believe would make them much faster when searching for assets by tags and when tagging assets manually.

    The first is keeping A list of every tag on any asset within the catalogue you have selected and making A panel beneath the catalogues menu that can be used to filter your currently selected catalogue to only the tags you have selected. Perhaps switching by default but allowing multiple to be selected while holding a key like control.

    The second is an option in the 'assets context menu', when clicking this option another popup list appears with the same list of every tag in the selected catalogue allowing you to easily tag A manually selected group of assets with an existing tag.

    Thanks for reading my feature suggestion!

  • releases contain unnecessary __pycache__ folders

    releases contain unnecessary __pycache__ folders

    Hi! I noticed that there's a considerable file size difference between downloading the main branch and a zipped release. It turns out that your releases unnecessarily contain compiled python files in the __pycache__ folders and some orphaned folders.

    To me it seems as if the release was packed locally from a working space and then uploaded. You could consider using a github action to build the release directly from a clean version. This could look somewhat like the untested setup below.

    Hi @Gorgious56, could expand the Custom Operation(s)' renaming options? I would like to add the Asset Name as prefix to the Object Data name and Object Material name.

    Currently, it is only possible to use the same name as the asset or enter a custom string. But this won't allow me to rename the material data in such a way that I can add the asset name as prefix. afbeelding

    I search here for an asset browser addon,and I find this. image

    When I want to export assets from current file to another file,it failed. What I do: enter image description here image

    After click this,it turn to here,which is my default asset folder,nothing in the list.But I do have some files there. enter image description here I click Export Assets,a new test.blend file created,but there are only a default cube in it.And the icon of test.blend is different from other blend file. enter image description here

    I remember that blend change the thumbnail from logo to real object in 3.3.0,so maybe the test.blend is an old version,which may cause trouble. I don't know whether it is my mistake or it's a bug.Could anyone help to check this?Especially waiting for the author... :)
