Asset Library

Every Asset. Organized. Accessible. Yours.

Featherweight on your system. Tested with 1TB+ libraries. CPU impact under 1%. RAM stays flat. Key Light only reads metadata — your files never move, your machine never struggles.

// core features

EVERYTHING YOUR STUDIO NEEDS

A complete command center for your 3D library. Built with professional workflows in mind, from solo artists to full production teams.

Smart Category System

Organize thousands of assets across 40+ intelligent categories — 3D Assets, Textures, Materials, HDRIs, Multimedia, and more. Nested subcategories keep every asset exactly where you expect it.

Instant Search with Debounce

Find any asset in milliseconds. The dual-search engine scans by name, tags, category, author, and metadata simultaneously — with smart 300ms debounce so results appear as you type.

Favorites & Collections

Build curated collections for specific projects, clients, or workflows. Mark assets as favorites for instant access.

Rich Asset Details Panel

Every asset shows a complete metadata record: ID, name, location, type, format, resolution, file size, compatibility, tracks and related assets — all in a clean side panel that updates in real time.

Smart Trash & Restore

Accidentally removed an asset? Key Light’s non-destructive trash system preserves deleted assets with their full metadata and category context. Restore anything in one click.

Drag and Drop

Drag and drop your props and assets straight into your favorite DCC—no restrictions. You can scan and work with files like .max, .fbx, .obj, .blend, .c4d, .mp4, .usd, .pdf, and many more, without limitations.

Deep Layers

Visually build folder hierarchies up to five levels deep using drag and drop—without affecting your disk. Create the selected folder structure anywhere on your system with a single click.

Nexus

Run a full scan of your assets with a single click, and Nexus will automatically organize everything for you. Nexus only reads your files’ metadata—it never modifies them, so your files remain completely untouched.

Echo

Batch renaming has never been this easy.Simply enter the new name for your files, click Rename, and let Echo handle the rest—no extra steps, no hassle.

Flux

Flux is Key Light’s photometric IES profile viewer. It loads .ies files, renders the light distribution cone in real time, displays the polar diagram of light intensity, and calculates the photometric data of the profile

Iris

Your HDRIs in full 360° with exposure control. Never leave Keylight. Iris loads any compatible image and projects it onto the inside of a virtual sphere.

Trash

The Trash is Key Light’s safety net. Any asset you delete goes here before being permanently removed. Restore everything with a single click—properties fully intact.

“No plugins. No extensions. No setup. Drag an asset from Key Light straight into 3ds Max, Cinema 4D or Blender — it just works.”

// supported formats

Your Entire Pipeline, One Place

Key Light speaks every format your pipeline uses. From native DCC files to universal interchange formats, images, videos, and everything in between.

“Key Light only reads files; it does not modify them or perform reverse engineering on any file format. The files are used solely for reading purposes.”

Your New Asset Workflow

Just 3 steps:

1) Scan
2) Arrange
3) Drag & drop

Previous Next

Import Your Library

Point Key Light to your existing folders. It scans, indexes, and generates thumbnails for every supported file automatically — no manual entry, no renaming required.

Organize your libraries

Create categories and subcategories that match your workflow, and easily assign multiple assets by simply dragging and dropping them where you want. This way, all your files stay automatically organized and ready whenever you need them.

Insert Directly Into Your Scene

Drag an asset from Key Light straight into your 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, or Blender scene. One click, done. No matter your workflow or preferred software, it fits right in and lets you keep creating without interruptions.

WHAT STUDIOS ARE SAYING

★★★★★

“After years of drowning in nested Windows folders, Key Light finally gave our studio a system that makes sense.

Finding a specific texture pack that used to take 10 minutes now takes 5 seconds.”

Carlos MéndezLead 3D Artist · ArchViz Studio, mexico

★★★★★

“I’ve tried many asset managers, but Key Light is the only one that truly understands Archviz workflows.

It integrates seamlessly without getting in the way. Managing thousands of assets has never been this simple.”

Dave Larsson3D Interior Designero, Madrid

★★★★★

“What sets Key Light apart is its structural integrity. Most tools are just databases with a nice UI—this is a scalable architecture that understands 3D asset dependencies. It improved our asset pipeline efficiency by 40% and eliminated bottlenecks when importing external libraries. This is software engineering applied to art.”

Julian Van der BergTechnical Director · VFX Studio, Canada
