Asseter.ai

Asseter.ai is a digital asset management platform with two core tools: Asseter, a CG asset library system, and Scout, an AI-powered visual search engine for 3D models. Designed for CG artists, it organizes media and 3D assets with AI-driven tagging and integrates with DCC tools like Cinema 4D, Blender, and Houdini. Scout searches stock marketplaces like 3Dsky and CGTrader by image, offering filters for free or paid assets.

Asseter’s desktop app, Asseter Assistant, automates asset imports, generates previews, and applies AI tags for quick organization. It supports formats like HAP and DXV3, with one-click imports into DCC software. Scout’s “Search by Picture” mode finds models matching an uploaded image, while “Picture Assembler” mode suggests assets to recreate complex scenes. The platform offers cloud and enterprise local hosting, with a 14-day free trial for cloud plans. Pricing includes tiered plans, with discounts for annual subscriptions.

Users appreciate the fast search and DCC integrations, which streamline workflows. Scout’s visual search is efficient for clear images but may struggle with abstract or low-quality inputs. The 10,000-asset minimum for indexing limits smaller libraries. Compared to Kraken and Pickit, Asseter is more CG-focused, with better DCC integration than Pickit but less customization than Kraken.

The platform supports artists managing large asset libraries or sourcing new models. Scout’s ability to recognize sketches is a standout feature, though accuracy varies. Data security is robust, with SSL/HTTPS connections and ISO 27001-certified data centers. API access allows pipeline integration for advanced users.
