AssetCheck README¶

AssetCheck is an editor-only project asset health scanner for Unreal Engine. It scans common asset and project-organization risks, turns the results into an easy-to-read health score, and lets you export reports for cleanup, handoff, migration, or marketplace preparation.

AssetCheck is made for developers who want a fast way to see what might need attention before they package, submit, migrate, or share a project.

Click Run Full Scan on the Dashboard.
Review the Asset Health Score and issue category cards.

What AssetCheck checks¶

AssetCheck 1.0.0 focuses on practical asset-health checks:

Area	Examples
Textures	Oversized textures, non-power-of-two textures, missing mip maps, default compression settings
Static meshes	Missing LODs, high triangle count, high vertex count, material slot count
Materials	Null material slots and mesh-level material assignment issues
Folders	Empty folders and assets outside recommended roots
References	Missing package dependencies and redirector-related risks

Built-in presets¶

AssetCheck includes six preset slots:

Beginner Safe — conservative checks for new projects.
Marketplace Seller — useful when preparing content for Fab-style review.
Packaging Prep — focuses on issues that can become packaging or handoff problems.
Migration Prep — useful before moving assets between projects.
Performance Aware — stricter limits for runtime-conscious content.
Custom — your own rules and thresholds.

Export formats¶

Format	Best for
HTML	Human-readable reviews, cleanup notes, client/team handoff
CSV	Spreadsheets, filtering, data analysis, issue tracking

Reports are saved locally. AssetCheck does not upload project information.

Safety notes¶

AssetCheck is read-only:

No asset deletion.
No asset moving or renaming.
No automatic reimporting.
No online upload.
No runtime gameplay impact.

The score and findings are meant to guide review work. They do not replace normal packaging tests, platform testing, performance profiling, or marketplace review requirements.
