Browser Extensions
==========================

Overview
------------------
Omniverse offers a convenient set of extensions useful for easy application of specified asset types.  These browsers make quick work of everything from textures, materials, assets, skies and more.  Additionally, these browsers can be preloaded with your content making it easy to reference your own libraries.

Using Browsers
-------------------------
Each of the respective browsers allow application of their specified asset type to your scenes or in the case of Samples, open samples.  For example, users can use the materials browser as a palette to apply materials.  The asset browser allows for asset placement. This is true for each Browser.

Collections
#################

Intrinsic to each of the browsers is the ability to specify locations to look for assets of the given type.
