Downloading existing assets from Dexr
Sometimes your Blend file is lost in the mists of time, on another computer, or all messed up. With the Library option you can easily reimport your assets straight from the Portal, with all the latest data up to date and ready for edits.
Needs the addon version 1.1.9 or above.
How to use
- Click the "search Assets" button to get the a list of assets that you have permissions on, sorted alphabetically and limited to 50 for load balancing reasons. If you enter a search query you can narrow it down.
- Click "Import selected model" and wait a few seconds. Blender will download all 3D assets & textures and load them in the file and put everything in a new collection with the right name and ID. It's now linked to Dexr again.
- Go to material mode to see the textures applied.
- If you check in the second panel "sync to Dexr", you should see the Dexr ID linked to your collection. That means everything worked as expected.
Use it in these circumstances:
- You've moved your assets to another workspace, so now Blender is out of date.
- You've lost the source assets.
- Your upload is failing for some reason, your file got messed up. Better reimport and start from there.
Only assets where you have write permissions will be available for download and relinking. Your IP is protected at Dexr, but so is that of others.
