Browsing & Installing Assets
Need a chair, a sound effect, or a ready-made script for your game? The Renzora marketplace is full of community-made assets, and you can drop the ones you own straight into your project.
Two ways to browse
You can shop the same catalog in two places:
- On the website — visit renzora.com/marketplace to browse, preview, buy, and read reviews.
- Inside the editor — open the Marketplace tab to browse, preview, and install without ever leaving your project.
To install assets you own, sign in to your renzora.com account in the editor. The left column shows who you're signed in as and your credit balance; signed out, it shows a Sign In button that opens the sign-in window. You can still look around the store while signed out — free assets install without an account, but paid downloads and your personal library need you signed in.
The left column
Down the left side of the Marketplace tab you'll find:
- Your account — "Signed in as …" and your current credit balance, or a Sign In button when you're signed out.
- Upload Asset — a shortcut for publishing your own work (coming soon).
- The category list — click one to filter the grid; All clears the filter.
Finding what you need
Both views give you the basics: a search box, the categories in the left column, and a sort dropdown (newest, most popular, or by price low/high).
The website adds a few more options when you want to narrow things down — filter by price (free or paid), minimum star rating, license, or a tag, and switch between grid and list views.
Categories aren't fixed — the list is set by Renzora and can grow over time, so check back as new types of assets appear.
Previewing a theme live
For theme assets, each card has a Preview button. Click it and Renzora downloads the theme and applies it to the editor right away — no install, no commitment — so you can see your panels, colors, and accents in the real UI. A banner across the top of the tab shows what you're previewing with two choices: Install Theme to keep it (this opens the normal install prompt) or Stop to snap straight back to the theme you had.
Buying an asset
Purchases use credits (1 credit = $0.10 USD). You buy credit packs from the Credits page — see Credits System for the details.
On an asset's page, the button changes to match your situation:
- Free asset → Download for Free
- Paid asset → enter a promo code (if you have one) and Buy for X credits
- Already owned → Download and Show in Library
Buying adds the asset to your Library so you can install it any time. If you don't have enough credits, top up first.
Where assets land in your project
When you install an asset, Renzora puts its files in the right folder for you. A few common examples:
| Asset type | Goes into |
|---|---|
| 3D models | models/ |
| Textures | textures/ |
| Audio (music, SFX) | audio/ |
| Scripts | scripts/ |
| Scenes | scenes/ |
| Blueprints | blueprints/ |
| UI themes | themes/ |
Anything that doesn't match a known type lands in a general assets/ folder. You don't have to memorize this — the editor sorts it out automatically.
Installing into your project
Straight from a card (easiest)
Every asset card has a Get (free) or Buy (paid) button. Click it and Renzora opens an install prompt that works like installing a plugin from file — it shows you what's being installed and asks where to put it:
- Pick a destination from the folder tree, which mirrors your project's own folders. It defaults to the conventional folder for that asset type (see the table above), but you can drop the files anywhere — for example into a specific subfolder of
models/. - Read the short note (Renzora only downloads and writes files into the folder you choose — only install assets from sources you trust).
- Click Download & Install.
The asset downloads in the background and a notice confirms where it landed. A paid asset you're not signed in for sends you to the sign-in window first.
From your Library
- Open the My Library panel. It lists everything you own and shows which folder each asset installs into.
- Click Install on the asset you want.
If a new asset doesn't show up right away, reopen (or rescan) your project so the editor notices the new files.
Manually
Prefer to do it by hand? You can:
- Click Download on the website Library or the asset's page. Multi-file assets offer a single Download All (.zip).
- Unzip and drop the files into the matching project folder (see the table above).
- Reload your project so it picks up the new files.
Previewing before you buy
On the website, click any asset card to open its page, where you can see images, play audio, and watch video. For 3D models, materials, textures, and particle effects, a Live Preview (BETA) renders the asset right in your browser so you can spin it around before deciding. Each page also shows the star rating, downloads, tags, and the publish/updated dates.
Updating and removing
- Update — click Install again to re-download the latest version into your project.
- Remove — delete the installed files from your project folder.
Rating and reviews
If you're signed in, own the asset (or it's free), and aren't the creator, you can leave a review on its page:
- Pick 1–5 stars with the star picker.
- Optionally add a title and a few words, then Submit Review.
There's also a quick star widget for a rating-only vote, plus a Comments thread for questions and discussion.
