Asset management in iR Studio refers to the organization, importation, and utilization of various assets within your virtual projects. The Studio supports a wide range of asset formats, including 3D models, images, audio, and video files, allowing users to enhance their virtual worlds effectively.
Key Aspects of Asset Management:
1. Asset Library: The central hub for all available assets, where users can browse preloaded assets or upload their own. It includes categories such as Models, Textures, and Lighting.
2. Supported Formats: The Studio supports various file formats, including `.glb`, `.gltf` for 3D models, and `.png`, `.mp3`, `.mp4` for images and audio/video files.
3. Loading Assets: Users can load assets into their scenes either through the Hierarchy panel or directly into the Viewport, allowing for flexible placement and organization.
4. Entity Management: When assets are loaded, they create entities in the Hierarchy panel, which can be organized and nested for better project management.
5. User Library: A feature that allows users to store and organize their custom assets for easy access across different projects.
6. Optimization: It is recommended to optimize assets for performance, ensuring that files are under 300 MB to maintain smooth operation during development and user access.
By effectively managing assets, users can create immersive and dynamic virtual experiences within the iR Studio.
