Hey Developers!

We have some exciting new updates for you in Toolbox! Our team has been working super hard to bring you some awesome new features.

We have three main updates for you:

Splitting Inventory and Marketplace Detailed Asset Previews Search by Creator in Marketplace

Splitting Inventory and Marketplace

Instead of the Toolbox using one cumulative drop-down menu, we have split it up into three overarching tabs: Marketplace, Inventory, and Recent. Marketplace has all publicly available items that are shared with the community and Inventory has all items that you have created or specifically added via the website.

This will make searching for your assets easier and improve your workflows.

Detailed Asset Preview

The next improvement we’ve done is granting you the ability to preview certain assets before inserting them into your workspace! To preview, hover over an asset and a magnifier icon will appear in the top right corner. Clicking this will then open up a preview window. This preview capability is available for Models, Meshes and Images.

Opening up the preview window will give you detailed information about the asset, such as creator, last updated date, and ratings. Additionally, for Models and Meshes, you will see a 3D interactive preview which will let you zoom, pan and navigate around the objects. Last but not least, for Models, you will be able to see a tree view of contents that are contained within the Model. By navigating through the tree view, you can also 3D preview components in isolation!

Search by Creator in Marketplace

Finally, we have implemented the ability to search for assets by specific creators in the Marketplace. To take advantage of this, click on the filter icon on the right side of the search bar. Then, indicate the creator you would like to search for in the creator search bar! Searching by creator will work with or without a keyword search term.

Big shoutout to our amazing team: @portenio, @OuNissan, @ZeroIndex, @iriszh, @westbyz80, @St4rst0n3, and @longlongchien!

We hope you enjoy these new features and would appreciate any feedback you may have. Please leave your comments and feedback below!
