The Preferences database will be used by default. Otherwise it will be placed in the category 'Uncategorized”. Note also the description under Show Database.įor the following commands, if a category has been selected, the corresponding element will be placed into this category. It also doesn’t make much sense to save a library that is several GB in size in a given scene. This can be found out by looking under Database in the Info tab of the selected asset. Before you start to panic, first check to see if the corresponding database is linked.Īt first glance, it’s not that easy to see which element that is displayed in the Asset Browser belongs to which database. You can save databases in preferences, the scene itself or in a custom path, for example.Īssuming you inadvertently save categories in a scene itself, i.e., you create a complete file structure and then notice that the work you did over the last 2 hours is gone when you open a new scene. Since assets are no longer restricted to Nodes, these commands have now been included in the Asset Browser.īefore you start creating assets (including category names, smart searches, keywords, etc.) you should consider which databases will be used to store these. Most of the following commands were previously contained in the Node Editor (prior to S24).
