In the ever-evolving world of 3D, efficiency is key. Enter Assetify, the Blender add-on designed to catapult your assets from the confines of your .blend files into the vast universe of game engines, rendering platforms, VR/AR applications, and even 3D printing. And it does so with the grace of a seasoned ballet dancer—minus the tutu.
Automated Texture Baking
Remember the days of manual texture baking? Neither do we, thanks to Assetify. This tool automates the baking of diffuse, roughness, metallic, normal, and alpha textures, ensuring your assets are dressed to impress. With presets tailored for Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, Assetify packs textures just the way these platforms like them. Whether you’re consolidating multiple materials into a single texture package for performance gains or keeping them separate for custom resolutions, Assetify has you covered. It’s like having a personal chef who knows exactly how you like your eggs—over easy, with a side of optimization.
Multi-Format Exporting
Diversity is the spice of life, and Assetify serves up a smorgasbord of export options:
- FBX: The go-to format for most 3D software and game engines, including Unreal Engine and Unity.
- OBJ: The universal translator of 3D applications and VR/AR platforms, perfect for rendering or archiving.
- GLTF/GLB: The sleek, modern standard for web-based 3D applications and AR/VR experiences.
- STL: The trusty companion for all your 3D printing adventures.
With Assetify, your assets are always ready for the next big thing, be it a game, a virtual tour, or a 3D-printed masterpiece.
Collection Management
Managing assets can sometimes feel like herding cats. Assetify brings order to the chaos with its robust collection management features.
