What is Scout?
Scout is an AI-powered visual search engine for 3D assets, built by Asseter.ai for 3D artists. Instead of typing keywords, you upload a reference image — a screenshot, a moodboard frame, a render still or a work-in-progress — and Scout scans hundreds of thousands of 3D models across major asset marketplaces to surface the closest visual matches. One upload searches 9+ libraries in parallel, covering both free and paid assets.
Key features
- Search by picture
- Upload an image, paste from the clipboard, or paste an image URL to start a search instead of guessing keywords.
- Multi-marketplace search
- A single query covers 9+ libraries in parallel, including 3DSky, CGTrader, Quixel Megascans, 3DExport, fab.com, 3DHamster, 3DBuy, ShareTextures and Zeel Project.
- Free and paid assets in one query
- Results span photoreal Megascans surfaces, archviz furniture on 3DSky and game-ready props on CGTrader.
- Visual matching
- Scout surfaces the closest visual matches to your reference image rather than relying on text descriptions.
- Built for 3D workflows
- Designed for archviz studios, game designers and product visualizers who work from reference imagery.
