Assets & Gems
Browse the Asset Library, configure gems per project, and manage repositories, local gems, and watch folders.
Gems are O3DE’s unit of reusable functionality — art, code, tools, whole frameworks. OPAL gives them a real home: a browsable Asset Library with a proper inspector, per-project gem configuration that stays in sync with project.json and CMake, and flexible ways to bring gems in — from repositories, local folders, or watch folders.
In this section
- Asset Library — Browse and filter gems, and inspect them across the five-tab inspector.
- Project gems — Enable and disable gems for a specific project, with dependencies handled for you.
- Repositories & sources — Add gem repositories, local gems, and watch folders; how caching and credentials work.
