What it does
DepotKit scans your .blend file for every external file it references - textures, VDBs, Alembic caches, audio, fonts, linked libraries, and more - and copies them all into a clean, organised Assets/ folder sitting right next to your .blend file. Each asset type gets its own subfolder automatically.
Who it's for
Artists and TDs who need to hand off a project to a render farm, a client, or a colleague on a different machine. Instead of manually hunting down scattered file paths, DepotKit gathers everything in one shot.
Key uses
- Project archiving - before zipping up a project, run DepotKit to make sure every dependency is present locally
- Render farm delivery - send a self-contained folder where all paths resolve without any path remapping
- Collaboration - share a .blend with a teammate without broken texture links
- Broken link audit - the Missing Files list shows every referenced file that no longer exists on disk, so you know what needs fixing before it causes a render failure
- Duplicate detection - catches cases where two different folders have a roughness.png, which would silently collide during a manual copy
- Re-pathing - optionally rewrites all file paths to relative //Assets/... style so the project stays portable
