I think it would be much easier for customers if they had an option to filter out assets that they already have or sort them to the bottom. This way they can find the new assets that they dont have.
We need options to:
- Hide owned assets
- Hide all assets from specific sellers
- Hide all assets that support only some specific formats
- Show only 70% discounted assets
- See a price/discount tracker under every asset
- Sort alphabetical by seller’s name
- Sort by number of ratings
- See discount amount on asset page without the need to click on license selector
- See the asset publication date, not the “migration-to-FAB” date
- Leave written questions and reviews
Move “Characters” out of “3D” to a separate category where assets are forced to be in subcategories. Not like now, where “Characters” are already a subcategory of “3D” with 90% of characters uncategorized further.
Great point @Gaiden2007 — welcome to the community!
Totally agree — as both a buyer and a seller on Fab, it would be incredibly useful to have a way to filter out owned assets, or at least sort them down. Especially when you’re actively building and want to focus only on what’s new or missing from your pipeline.
While Epic hasn’t rolled this out yet on Fab’s front-end (and I hope they do), we ran into a very similar clarity problem inside Unreal projects — especially in larger teams or solo devs juggling 100s of assets.
That’s why we built Asset Optics — our plugin lets you:
Mark which assets are used, unused, or incomplete
Tag assets with comments or checklist status
See everything on a synced web dashboard so you can filter and sort what matters
It’s kind of like “Fab filters,” but for your actual project content — we wanted something that would help us reduce asset clutter, streamline production, and avoid repeating work we’d already done.
Hope Epic brings better filters to Fab soon — but in the meantime, we’re trying to bring that same clarity to your content browser.
