I wish every Blender KZbinr spoke with your pace, pronunciation and preciseness. Instant sub.

[@greboge]

Thanks! I try me best!

[@mr.lunatic3157]

I wish everyone in the world does it like that, but thats not how the world works does it 😂

[@ike_0zzy]

Instant sub is absolutely right you change the world a helpful moment at a time!

[@naborsjw]

Dude, I could hug you. I've checked so many videos and keep getting it wrong. You put it so simply! Thanks a ton!

[@greboge]

Thanks! I'm really glad I could help

[@sambarjunk]

Wow Blender makes a simple thing like saving assets so complicated. Thanks for the tutorial

[@jack36693]

Thank you for this! I was getting so confused why my assets weren't showing up in a new project, this tutorial saved me so much time

[@minitiv]

Quick and simple! Many thanks!

[@perlichtman1562]

01:00 Thanks, this section was the part I didn’t understand from reading the online documentation. This is such a clear and succinct explanation. You just got another subscriber. :)

[@youtubeshow7576]

Thank you for this tutorial I am definitely going to use it in my future projects

[@ichefable]

Best Short directions I have found. Thanks

[@greboge]

Thanks! I'm glad you found the video to be useful!

[@bnadem.panormal]

This is the quickest and most clear explanation, thank you! But why does blender makes everything so convoluted and unintuitive like this, why not just click "save to library" like every other software. This is isn't a library, it's just an append interface

[@TheTamii91]

Thank you so much!!! You're amazing! I've been struggling to get this done and you explained it so well!!! Thank you 🩷🩷🩷

[@greboge]

Glad I could help!

[@kiro253]

wow its have always been there...yet i only know now the uses of it thanks mate

[@user-zs2mk3eu5x]

OMG THANK YOU INSTANT SUB your explanation is perfect

[@greboge]

Thank you!

[@ahmedkamal6107]

super awesome man

[@krupavasantha1009]

Nice brief explanation.

[@in3432]

Brilliant video thank you.

[@gregornovich3512]

thanks bro! good explanation

[@uoassist82]

Oh thanks man! You just save me a lot of time!

[@greboge]

It really does! especially when trying to populate new scenes

[@Spooky_Adler]

Great tip! Thank you!

[@greboge]

I'm glad you liked it! This helps me a lot

[@blackswan6386]

thank you sir ! hope we see ore from you, like your tutorials ! ciao

[@greboge]

Thanks! More are coming indeed!

[@jamiediromero5016]

Thank you very much, it helped me a lot

[@greboge]

I'm glad to hear that!

[@saadsarnaik]

Thanks!

[@mrshivam3dvisualizer]

thanks for help

[@jojo-pr3ov]

valeu! sempre quis saber como fazer isso :)

[@greboge]

Tmj!

[@denizendamned]

Thanks for the concise explanation. One query though. What if there's an object made of separate parts. eg. a car with separate components (wheels, chassis, doors, dashboard, etc)?

[@greboge]

I haven't tested that, maybe you can parent them before marking as an asset

[@3dlab334]

I loved the video, it was quite helpful. I have an issue: When I add categories in the assets file and then open a new one, the categories disappear. Do you know what could be causing this?

[@greboge]

Its been quite a while since I used this feature, but did you remember so save the category before closing the file ?

[@roberthintz4017]

What about fur grooms, created using hair nodes?

[@greboge]

Im sorry, I've never used them, mayba you could save as asset similar to materials? but that is just guess

[@ArthurTheGreat]

Is there any way to spawn objects with their materials attached ?

[@greboge]

I haven't done that, but as far as I know its no possible. But maybe there is an addon out there that does so

[@ArthurTheGreat]

@@greboge thanks 👍

[@3dness449]

Is this only on Blender 3.6 or can I do it using blender 3.2.1? Thanks for the awesome tip!

[@greboge]

This works for any version superior to 3.0!

[@3dness449]

Again, thanks!

[@gordonforson3861]

How can I get the asset library in my preference cause there's no asset library in my file paths

[@greboge]

Which version of blender are you using? I think it needs to be version 3.0+

[@Y_J-sx1tq]

The assets( mesh with materials ) preview show only gray in asset browser, do you have the way to solve it in 4.1?

[@greboge]

Maybe you need to remark the materials as assets as well ? I haven't encountered this issue with blender 4.1

[@Pink-Phoebe]

how do you drag a new window in????😕

[@greboge]

Its kinda of tricky until you get the hang of it, you need to aim towards the corner of the current windows, a different mouse pointer will apear, then you hold the mouse buttom and drag

[@Pink-Phoebe]

@@greboge Thank you for your reply!

[@Riley_Christian]

Is this the only workflow tho?? cuz im not a fan of it. I don't want to have to duplicate my whole file every time. And I have a pbr material library that I don't want to duplicate some textures, where as some I DO want to have packed in the blend. This doesn't really give me control over that. I really want to learn how to use the asset browser to its full potential if anyone can point me in the right direction please. thank you

[@greboge]

You could probably just point blender to multiple directories where your orignal files are, then you would not need to duplicate files. I do this way because I prefer to have all my "source" files in the same place

[@Riley_Christian]

@@greboge Thats what ive found out. To be fair, if I was more organized, it probably wouldn't be a big issue lmfao. Messing with all my file organization will be mess, but luckily I suppose it won't be moving forward now. Just a big change to my workflow. Thanks ;)

[@greboge]

Yeah, sometimes my files get all messy too haha, it takes some effort to put them back in place but its always worth it, specially if you re use a lot of stuff@@Riley_Christian

[@zedeon6299]

There's an addon called bulk asset tools that let you organize your assets better

[@robinsilva3647]

tu é brasileiro mano?

[@greboge]

Sim!

[@JovexmKonno]

tava me perguntando a mesma coisa

[@EvokAi]

Wouldnt that make Blender laggy?

[@greboge]

It doesn't use resources to keep it in the library, only when you put in your scene that will need to be rendered

[@ruicarapinha420]

what a mess!!

[@greboge]

Thanks haha

[@timorre3971]

If you want people to learn this you need to slow down and point out what you are clicking. You open windows without explaining what you did. If you dont want to do these videos, dont. I dont care how anyone else learns, its how things are tought. Im wasting my time constantly rewinding to see what you did. Such a waste of time

[@Thomasbuaroey]

Set the settings for the video speed to 0.25

[@greboge]

I'm sorry this is not the style that you like your tutorials, there are plenty videos out there with a slower pace, you can watch those if you prefer. I tend to see that most blender users like a more straight forward approach! Have a nice day!

[@stedbenj]

Don't listen to this complainer. Imagine complaining about a free video. This person not only does not contribute anything to the community, they complain that they need to /rewind/. The audacity.

[@stedbenj]

Thank you for this video and thank you for not taking 40 years to get to the point!

[@greboge]

@@stedbenj Thanks, Ben! Thats really kind

[@gordonforson3861]

[@perlichtman1562]

Which version of Blender are you using? It may be helpful to try a different version and see if it shows up. In Blender 3.6, if you go to File Paths and scroll all the way down, it should show up near the bottom - but it might not display until you scroll down.
