Hi all, Time for an update on the Asset Browser!
There was lots of design work on various aspects. But now my entire focus is on implementation sprints for milestone 1: A basic, local Asset Browser for Blender data-blocks. With this milestone, the user is the asset manager and can use the Asset Browser as an interactive viewer into self-managed asset collections. I had an initial working version of this milestone a while ago already: https://youtu.be/TDH7V1pjRWc There are no plans to add a full asset manager to the core of Blender. Asset management is too pipeline/platform dependent. Studios and asset markets can keep using their own systems, but integrate them well into the Blender UI and have a much better base to start with. Planned features like a native “Blender Project” concept, collection variations or non-data-block assets should make their lives easier. See https://developer.blender.org/T73366 The first milestone is now a target for 2.92. Since there is lots of work left, it may not become feature-complete until 2.93 though. The coming weeks, I will go through the task backlog, work with stakeholder artists and start involving some more user feedback. Longer-term project management & development: https://developer.blender.org/project/profile/123/ Milestone 1 design overview with a workboard on which I organize daily work (click "Workboard" on the left): https://developer.blender.org/project/view/124/ Some exciting weeks ahead!
