📚 Asset Library & Import

Ludus imports generated assets into the project automatically and keeps them in a dedicated Asset Library, both from the Ludus plugin window inside the Unreal Editor. Generations also appear as live preview cards in the Ludus chat while they run. This page covers automatic import, the library, and in-chat previews.

Automatic Asset Import​

Generated models, characters, and animations import automatically. Ludus matches the correct skeleton, materials, PBR maps, and companion textures on import.

  • Rigged models import as skeletal meshes.
  • Scene placeholders are replaced with the final mesh when it is ready.
  • All assets receive Content Browser thumbnails automatically.

Asset Library​

The Asset Library is a dedicated, endlessly scrolling library of your generated assets.

  1. Open the Asset Library in the Ludus plugin window.
  2. Browse, search, and filter by type, status, or date.
  3. Select an asset to preview it.
  4. Act on an asset: import, reveal in engine, download, favorite, delete, or retry a failed generation.

Example: filter by type "animation" and status "failed", then retry the failed generation. Expected result: Ludus re-runs the generation and updates the card when it completes.

  • Asset lineage shows how each asset was created.
  • Assets removed in the editor revert to an import state so you can re-import them.

In-Chat Generation Previews​

While a generation runs, Ludus shows a live asset card in the chat.

  • Thumbnail, or an autoplaying video for animations.
  • Progress percentage while the asset builds.
  • Click-through to the full asset.
  • An indicator of how many generations are running.
