## Definition

```

## Remarks

In-scene assets are scene objects that are referenced by one or more objects in a scene and are of an asset type. Examples of asset types include, but are not limited to, [Mesh](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/mesh.md), [Material](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/material.md), and [ScriptableObject](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/scriptableobject.md). If in-scene assets are not converted to project assets (with [AssetDatabase.CreateAsset](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/assetdatabase/createasset.md), for example), they are serialized inside scene files. This can cause unwanted increases in the scene file size. `InSceneAssetUtility` provides methods to identify and manage such objects.
