Browse is the library: every asset Tessera found inside every pack, or the packs themselves.
#Assets or packs
The switch at the top changes what the grid holds:
- Assets: every model, sprite, texture, sound, font and HDRI, each as one tile, whatever archive it lives in.
- Packs: the downloads themselves, with their covers, what they hold and their license.
#Search
The search box looks at file names, folder names, tags and every pack's details, inside archives
too. ⌘F / Ctrl+F jumps to it from anywhere. Typing shows suggestions: pages, actions, packs,
collections and assets; Enter searches everything.
#Filters
Down the left, and they stack. Each shows how many things it would leave:
- Type: 3D models, sprites and 2D, textures, UI, sound effects, music, fonts, HDRIs, documents.
- Format: the file extensions actually present, such as GLB, FBX, PNG, OGG or TTF.
- Source: the sites and places your packs came from.
- Creator: who made them.
- License: what each allows.
- Genre, style and tags: as recorded on the pack.
Clear puts them all back. Save as smart collection turns what you are looking at into a collection that keeps itself up to date.
#Sorting
Best match, name, newest, size, pack or type. Without search words, best match is simply name.
#One asset, several formats
A model that ships as FBX, GLB and OBJ is one tile, with its formats listed. Tessera knows which of them a game wants and copies the right one.
#The keyboard
- Arrow keys move the cursor through the grid.
- Space or Enter opens what the cursor is on in the viewer.
- S stars what is picked out, or what the cursor is on.
⌘A/Ctrl+Apicks everything the search matches, however many that is.- Esc puts everything back.
- Click a tile to open it; hold (or right-click) to pick it out;
⌘/Ctrlclick adds to a selection, shift click takes a range.
#What you can do with a selection
Star it, add it to a collection, copy it into a game, or move it to the bin. The bar along the bottom says how many are picked and what they come to.
