Assets created with the Asset Lab have an invalid/unsupported file type

Hello, when I create 3D assets using the genAI Asset Lab, they appear in the Asset Lab tab of the left studio panel as expected.

However when I drag and drop them onto the scene, I get an error “Invalid file dropped”. That’s a bit surprising considering they were created from within the Studio itself…

Edit: it also happens with 2D files that got added to the project from the first step of the Asset Lab workflow…

Hi, welcome to the forum!

You can’t drag the asset directly in from Asset Lab, you have to click the “Import into Project” button.

Hi George, thanks for the response. For some reason I cannot play the video you posted.

I figured out what you meant, and the 3D file did appear in the Files tab. However it looks nothing like the little preview in the Asset lab tab (I guess thats another issue). I also think the overall userflow is not very intuitive, the drag and drop should either automatically perform the action, or a clear message should explain what to do.

Thanks!

I totally agree, the team is planning to add this functionality. Also I’ve re-uploaded the video to YouTube. Let me know if you can view it now:
