AssetValidator is a publish gate for VFX/CG pipelines: scan folders,
run 530+ built-in checks on USD, Alembic, FBX, textures, caches, audio, and more — then get
clear PASS/FAIL with fix hints in GUI or CI. Use general for everyday mixed pipelines,
or studio for the full check pack (paths, naming, USD, media, delivery).
A validation gate between artists and production — same rules in GUI, CLI, DCC, and CI.
Point at a folder or drag files into the asset list. Built-in scan supports
USD, ABC, FBX, OBJ, VDB, EXR, PNG/JPG/TIFF, TX, and more.
Pick ruleset general for mixed pipelines, or default / strict for USD-heavy gates.
No empty shell — a full validation library ships in the box and shows up in the in-app
Plugins panel: paths and naming, USD stage rules, Alembic/FBX/OBJ/glTF,
textures, audio, renderers, DCC pipeline hygiene, and delivery rules.
Ruleset studio enables the full pack;
general runs 485+ multi-format gates for daily publish work.
Profile rulesets (character, fx, comp_plate, …) target role-based publishes.
Preflight in Houdini, Maya, Blender, Nuke before export. Hooks for ShotGrid, ftrack, Slack, Telegram, Deadline, and GitHub Actions CI.
The built-in library covers most publish gates — but every studio has its own naming and pipeline quirks.
TDs can add Python plugins on top: drop .py files in the plugins folder or use the
in-app Custom plugins panel. Reload without recompile.
Stop downstream failures early. Turn chaos into a clean, repeatable gate with clear PASS/FAIL reasons.
Need integrations, custom validation profiles, or an SLA channel? Studio plans help you roll out fast.
Simple, powerful, and tuned for real asset debugging under production deadlines.
Everything needed to validate assets safely before publish or render.
Paths, naming, USD, Alembic, FBX, textures, audio, renderers, and studio pipeline hygiene — included in every plan.
Walk USD and OBJ/MTL references — catch missing textures and sidecars before render.
Default prim, stage sanity, texture size, UDIM gaps, and metadata rules.
HTML reports with local server, validation history, and team dashboard.
Houdini, Maya, Blender, and Nuke preflight before export/publish.
ShotGrid, FTrack, Slack, Telegram, Deadline, GitHub Actions, Jenkins.
Validate before publish in Maya/Houdini/Nuke. One-click safe fixes with dry-run and undo.
Studio OCIO config checks. White-label Netflix/client packs with branded reports.
--farm splits large batches. Per-shot overlays, Git LFS and Perforce hooks.
Drop AssetValidator into your existing pipeline with minimal changes.
Reusable validation gate with JUnit output and shareable HTML artifacts.

name:version:relative/path.usd (one per line)Validation becomes a cheap, repeatable safety layer that prevents expensive downstream failures.
Catch broken or mismatched assets before they hit render queues.
Color-coded PASS/FAIL details make root cause visible immediately.
Same validation behavior in artist GUI, CLI automation, and CI.
