# Asset Creation Part 6: Applying Textures

### 1) open your original .blend file 

Go ahead and delete the original blockmesh

Import your low poly mesh by going to file > **append**

select the \_low.blend version of the asset, then navigate to objects and select the object

### 2) Set up the asset library

In edit > preferences > file paths

hit '+' to add a new asset library path, and navigate to the texture library for this project

**users...\\BUGJam\\pounce\\pounce-art\\asset\_libraries**

then save your preferences

### 3) Set up shading workspace

delete everything except for the material output in the existing texture that should have been created with the bakery

rename the texture to asset\_mat

then in the upper left viewport, toggle to asset browser, and select the "asset libraries" library- you should see a bunch of cool textured jackets!

in your mostly empty material, right click and select 'setup mesh map nodes'

shift+click to select all 5 baked texture maps and import them (make sure to uncheck relative path)

You should have two nodes now, the texture bundle, and the output

Now, back in your asset browser- drag and drop the BSDF parameter to shader node group into the shader graph and conenct it to the material output

### 4) Set Up Material

with that added, the area in between is where you can drag + drop desired materials from the asset library! just connect the mesh maps to material node to BSDF parameters node- then you can edit the color of the material you'd like to use from the library

### 5) Bake Texture Set 

in the material properties panel, there is another bakery option called "texture set" go ahead and click initialize when you are happy with the texture + color of your object

make sure to set up the file path like the original exporter, with it set to pounce 'game' instead of pounce 'art' and name it asset\_mat

<p class="callout danger">DO NOT edit the name template</p>

and hit bake!

### 6) Export to Game
