For effective asset cataloging in Project Manager, you have the option to use several types of directories: adding existing folders from Windows Explorer, creating virtual catalogs, and categories.
Directory
Standart System Directory
Catalog
Virtual Directory that can contain the system directories and other catalogs
Categories
Virtual Directory that can contain links to 3D assets, materials from different libraries, and other categories
Catalogs serve as virtual folders that allow you to combine directories from various locations, including system and network drives, without the need to duplicate folders. This significantly simplifies access to resources, keeping them in a single virtual space.
Categories
In Project Manager, categories are virtual directories that contain links to 3D assets, materials from different libraries, and other virtual categories. They allow you to organize assets by theme or purpose, regardless of their physical location on the disk. And yes – materials are also supported! The main thing is that you can arrange any assets as you like and have access to them in one click.
