Smart Thumbnails
Smart Thumbnails for Game Creator 2
Smart Thumbnails makes working with Game Creator 2 assets much faster and easier by showing the actual sprite of your assets as their thumbnail.
Instead of seeing the default ScriptableObject icon everywhere, Smart Thumbnails displays the sprite already assigned inside the asset. Your items, weapons, quests, and stats instantly become recognizable directly from their thumbnails.
No more opening assets just to see what they are.
No more guessing based on names.
You can immediately identify everything visually.
This small quality of life improvement makes organizing and selecting assets dramatically faster.
Why Smart Thumbnails?
Game Creator 2 assets already include a sprite that visually represents them. However, Unity still displays their generic ScriptableObject icon in places like:
The Project window
Object pickers used in instructions
This means you constantly have to read names or open assets to confirm what they are.
Smart Thumbnails automatically replaces those icons with the sprite already defined in the asset.
You instantly see what each asset represents, which speeds up your workflow and makes your project easier to manage.
Supported Game Creator 2 Assets
Smart Thumbnails automatically detects and displays sprites for the following Game Creator 2 ScriptableObjects:
Inventory
Item
Quests
Quest
Shooter
Shooter Weapon
Ammo
Reload
Melee
Melee Weapon
Skill
Stats
Attribute
Class
Stat
Status Effect
If the asset has a sprite assigned, Smart Thumbnails will display it automatically.
Works in Project Window and Object Pickers
Smart Thumbnails improves asset visibility in places where you select assets during development, including:
The Unity Project Window
Object window
For example when selecting assets in instructions like:
Add Item
Track Quest
Equip Shooter Weapon
Assign Ammo
Apply Status Effect
Instead of identical ScriptableObject icons, you will see the actual sprite assigned to the asset.
This makes browsing and selecting assets much faster.
One Click Setup
Smart Thumbnails includes a one click setup button when you import the asset.
Click the setup button once and Smart Thumbnails will automatically configure everything needed for the editor integration.
After that, it works automatically.
No extra setup. No workflow changes.
Useful for Any Project Size
Smart Thumbnails is helpful for small, medium, and large projects.
Even a small project becomes easier to navigate when assets are visual.
In larger projects with many items, weapons, quests, or stats, visual thumbnails make a huge difference when browsing folders or selecting assets.
You can quickly scan your project and find what you need without reading through long lists of names.
Using Editor Pro?
If you're using Editor Pro for Game Creator 2, Smart Thumbnails works perfectly alongside it.
Editor Pro makes creating and editing Game Creator 2 assets faster, while Smart Thumbnails makes them easier to recognize and browse visually.
Together they create a smooth workflow where you can quickly create assets and instantly identify them through their thumbnails.
