# Prototype Assets

Prototype assets output **only** 3D geometry. Once finished, you will be able to [request revisions](/reviewing-assets/request-revisions.md), [upgrade the quality](/reviewing-assets/request-revisions.md#upgrade-quality), [use the fill colour tool](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/manual-fill-colour.md) to add colour to your model, and [upgrade to game-ready ](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/upgrade-to-game-ready.md)to add textures and rigs.

Width and depth will be scaled proportionally.

### Tags You can apply tags to your asset to help you categorize and filter your asset for easy searching in the Assets page.

### Level of Quality We offer 3 levels of quality for Prototype assets: Standard, High, and Ultra. The level of quality you choose will determine how much detail is captured in your 3D asset. The recommended generation quality depends on the complexity of your model. Simple models can be created using the "Standard" option. If you have a more complex model, or would prefer a higher-detailed generation, select "High" or "Ultra".

Click on "*Compare qualities"* to open a pop-up with 3D viewers for each of the different quality levels.

### Max Polycount The max polycount determines the density of your polygons and the amount of detail that will be captured.

*** ## Quality Level Examples ### Standard Quality Standard has a base poly count setting of 30,000. This quality level will capture the silhouette of your model and basic details. This quality may not be ale to capture more intricate detailing. We recommend using this quality level for small props or environment assets.

### High Quality High has a base poly count setting of 100,000 polys. This is best for more intricate models that require finer detail.

### Ultra Quality Ultra has a base poly count setting of 300,000 polys. This works best for complex models that need to capture the most detail possible, such as small details and beveled edges. {% hint style="info" %} If you'd like to create a textured, rigged, and optimised hero character or a key asset, we recommend using the [Game-ready pipeline.](/creating-assets/game-ready-assets.md) {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} If you'd like to texture your Prototype asset and have access to the Game-Ready Pipeline, you can do so by [Upgrading your asset to Game-Ready](/creating-assets/prototype-assets/upgrade-to-game-ready.md). {% endhint %} *** ## Processing Time The processing time on your 3D generations can vary depending on generation quality:

Quality	Priority 1	No priority
Standard	~ 20 min.	~6hr
High	~ 40 min.	~12hr
Ultra	~ 80 min.	~24hr

{% hint style="info" %} Generation times can also vary depending on how busy the platform is. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
