The Art Manager is your central hub for uploading and managing your art assets. By default, these are private to your account, and can only be seen and used by you.

Open the Art Manager from your Inkarnate account to view and manage your custom art.

Art Manager Layout

The Art Manager is divided into three main sections:

Hierarchy Panel

The Hierarchy Panel displays how your content is organized into Styles and Packs. Assets assigned to a Pack appear within that structure.

Assets that are not assigned to a Pack do not appear in the hierarchy. Instead, they are available from the Assets section in the Asset View.

Asset View

The Asset View displays the Assets within the selected Style, Pack, or section. Custom Assets are private by default and can only be viewed and used by the account that uploaded them unless they are published.

It can be displayed in two ways:

• Gallery View: Displays Assets as image previews and can group them by Pack or Tag.

• List View: Displays Assets in a compact list together with their properties.

The Asset View also provides the same Sorting and Display options as the Catalog. (See Catalog, Sorting & Display)

Search

Use the search field to quickly find Styles, Packs, and Assets in the Art Manager.

The search field supports the same search behavior as the Catalog, including keyword, prefix, and tag matching. (See Catalog, Search)

In the search options, you can enable Search Filenames to also match Asset filenames.

Filtering

Use filters to limit the displayed Styles, Packs, and Assets.

Filtering works the same as in the Catalog, but the Art Manager provides additional filters specific to managing your Asset library.

Details Panel

The Details Panel displays the properties of the selected Style, Pack, or Asset. Depending on what is selected, you can use it to configure settings such as:

• Name and description

• Tags

• Asset properties

• Default Style settings

Styles, Packs, and Assets

Content in the Art Manager is organized into three levels:

• Styles: Collections of Packs designed to share a common visual style, scale, and scene behavior.

• Packs: Collections used to group related Assets.

• Assets: Individual art resources used in the editor.

Assets can include:

• Stamps: Images placed as objects in a scene. This also includes Composites, which are custom Stamp images created by flattening the contents of a Scene into a reusable Asset.

• Textures: Images painted onto Brush Layers.

• Stamp Sets: Collections of related Child Stamps.

• Stroke Assets: Colored or image-based strokes used with the Line & Shape Tool.

• Preset Assets: Custom Brush presets that can be selected and used with the Brush Tool.
