Asset Library & Folders

The asset library holds everything you can place in an experience – 3D models, images, videos, audio, and more. Open it from the Assets tab, or from within the editor at any time.

Asset types

The library is organized by type:

• 3D – 3D models in USDZ, including ready-made assets, particle systems, and ShaderGraph materials. (Prepare them in Reality Composer Pro and export as USDZ.)
• Images – PNG (with transparency) and JPEG.
• Videos – standard video, plus spatial (stereoscopic) video (marked automatically when the system detects it) and transparent video. Transparent video lets you build polished, layered experiences without touching 3D.
• Shader libraries – custom Metal shaders (see Materials and Post-FX).
• Audio – sound files (MP3, WAV, M4A) for spatial, ambient, and effect audio.
• Custom haptics – AHAP patterns for tactile feedback.
• Environment maps – HDR / 360° images for custom lighting and backgrounds (see Environments & lighting).

Each kind accepts specific formats – USDZ models, PNG/JPEG images, MP4/MOV video, MP3/WAV/M4A audio, AHAP haptics, and HDR/EXR environment maps.

Uploading

Upload with the Upload asset button, or simply drag and drop files into the library – or straight into the editor.

Folders

Keep things organized with folders, available here and across the app. Create a folder, give it a name, a colour, and an icon, then drag and drop assets into it. Right-click a folder to delete it – the assets move back out, they aren't lost.

Find assets fast

A library gets unwieldy across projects. Lean on folders to stay organized, and use the search bar to find an asset by name.
