Asset Scout - powerful tool for finding all references to any asset in your Unity project. Track down every usage of materials, prefabs, scriptable objects, and more with detailed property paths.
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description

Asset Scout solves a fundamental problem that Unity's native API doesn't address - reverse dependencies. While Unity's built-in GetDependencies API only shows what assets are used by a given asset (direct dependencies), Asset Scout finds which assets are using your target asset (reverse dependencies).


KEY FEATURES:

Reverse Dependency Tracking - Find all assets that reference your target asset

Deep Search - Detect references in scenes, prefabs, scriptable objects, materials, and more

Detailed Results - See exact property paths where references are used

Fast Performance - Optimized cache system for quick searches

Easy to Use - Simple drag & drop interface with clear results

Extensible - Create custom processors for specialized search needs


PERFECT FOR:

• Cleaning up unused assets

• Safe refactoring of complex projects

• Understanding asset usage throughout your project

• Tracking down hard-to-find references

• Optimizing project structure


ADVANCED FEATURES:

• Cache System - Automatically updates when assets change

• Custom Processors - Extend functionality with your own search logic

• Support for Custom Data Types - Handle localization keys, weak references, addressables

• UI Integration - Add custom search fields to the interface

• Selective Enabling - Enable/disable processors individually


TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• Supports Unity 2020.3 or later

• Requires .NET Standard 2.0 or later

• Initial cache building for large projects (~35,000 assets) takes approximately 150 seconds

• Subsequent incremental updates are much faster as they only process changed assets


Asset Scout is suitable for projects of any genre and size. Whether you're working on a small indie game or a large-scale commercial project, Asset Scout will help you maintain a clean and efficient asset structure.
