Critical Considerations for Workflows

Asset Location Strategy

• While NVIDIA Asset Browser content is convenient, avoid direct dependencies on cloud-hosted assets for production scenes

• Create a dedicated Props and Equipment subfolder within your Assets directory

• This ensures all team members have consistent access regardless of network connectivity

Modularity and Portability

• Reference, don’t copy – Always use references to maintain single source of truth

• Keep asset hierarchies shallow and logical for easier management

• Use relative file paths to maintain portability when sharing projects

• Document any external dependencies in your project README

Organizing Asset Groups with Scopes

Create Logical Groupings - Examples

1. In the Stage panel, right-click on World and create Scope prims:

   • StorageAndLogistics – for pallets, containers, racks

   • SafetyEquipment – for barriers, signage, emergency equipment

   • MaterialHandling – for conveyors, forklifts, automated systems

   • Utilities – for lighting, power distribution, ventilation

Assign Assets to Appropriate Scopes

2. Drag and drop referenced assets under their logical scope parents

   • This creates a clear hierarchy that’s easy to navigate and manage

Team Collaboration Workflow Example

Layer Management for Teams

• Assign layer ownership – different team members can work on different sublayers

• Communicate changes – use version control or shared documentation for major modifications
