Summary#

The SimReady asset file should contain a thumbnail that is representative of the asset.

Description#

SimReady packaged assets should provide a thumbnail image next to the asset file so browsers, registries, and review tools can present a recognizable preview before the asset is opened.

Example#

For a SimReady asset located at Assets/Manufacturer/Asset_Name/Asset.usd, the thumbnail should be at Assets/Manufacturer/Asset_Name/.thumbs/256x256/Asset.usd.png.

Why is it required?#

  • Enables package consumers to identify assets before opening them

  • Supports registry, browser, and review workflows that depend on visual previews

  • Provides a lightweight preview without loading the full OpenUSD stage

How to comply#

  • Add a PNG thumbnail under .thumbs/256x256/ next to the asset file

  • Name the thumbnail after the asset file with .png appended, for example Asset.usd.png

  • Ensure the thumbnail is representative of the asset’s visible content
