Bought a 4K texture pack for a game that runs at 1K?

Right-click the image in AssetHoard, Export, Resize, pick a size. You get a resized copy and your original stays as it is.

Works on sprites too. Out now.

Downloaded a PBR PNG's and want a material?

Import the PNG's into AssetHoard, group them as a Material and you can do just that!

See it as a sphere, cube, or knot. And apply different exposures to preview how it'll look indoors, outdoors, or even at night.

Running a game jam? We'd love to be involved.

Lifetime AssetHoard licences as prizes, promo to our community, and a dev on deck for support, or to judge. No jam too small, first-time organisers very welcome.

Instead of asking "which engine is best", ask a few questions that actually have answers: what am I making, where will it run, and how do I like to work. Everything else follows from those.

In AssetHoard it's so convenient to see all the 3D models in your assetpacks.

Not only can you pan + rotate, but you can change the scene to see how the model responds to sun, night, and indoors.

Look inside a .unitypackage before you import it.

AssetHoard lets you peek inside the contents for preview, so you can see the materials, textures and meshes it actually contains. Pan and zoom on any material to check the detail up close.

A slightly technical write-up on how AssetHoard peeks inside and renders assets in zips, rars, and tar/gz archives without extracting them first.

Every 3D asset now lists its external associated resources.

Albedo, normal, roughness, AO, whatever the model references, all grouped with the mesh instead of scattered across a folder of similarly named PNGs.

AssetHoard 0.1.20 is out.

The expanded 3D preview now has a real control panel: environment, surface and mesh settings, plus a toggle for every texture map on a material.

Play audio out of a .unitypackage without importing it.

AssetHoard reads the package contents directly, so every sound effect and music track inside is previewable in the library. Click, listen, decide whether it is worth the import.

Want to see what's inside the zip? 2D previews now work inside archives.

Aseprite files, sprite sheets and layered art all render from inside a zip, rar, tar or gz. Frames, tags and animation playback included, without unpacking a thing.

Spin a 3D model without unpacking the archive.

AssetHoard previews models straight out of zip, rar, tar and gz. Pan, zoom, orbit, and play back any animations baked into the file. Same as if it were sitting uncompressed on your drive.

Play audio straight out of a zip.

AssetHoard previews inside archives (zip, rar, tar, gz) as if the files were already uncompressed on your drive. No extracting, no temp folders. Click the track, hit play.
