Unity Asset Manager — August 15, 2024

Now you can link assets between projects more easily in the shortcut menu with the enhanced search function and improved hierarchical navigation for projects and collections.

It is now simpler to replace files with updated versions in your assets. Previously, you had to delete and reupload a file. Now, you can select Replace from the shortcut menu. The relative path, if it is set, remains in Asset Manager. You can also replace whole folders.

The new 1.0.0-exp.2 version of Asset Manager for Unity introduces the following improvements:

The Reimport modal window. You can use this new feature to granularly control which assets get overwritten.

You can now ignore dependencies when uploading assets.

You can flatten the path, so Asset Manager for Unity does not recreate the folder hierarchy at import.

You have now the option to set the confidence level for enabling tag generation based on the preview image during upload.

You can now use PythonSDK to upload assets in bulk from your projects. There are three built-in strategies for bulk asset creation:

Upload files from and older Unity project (like files in a Unity project that have .meta files from the editor or files in a Unity package, like content from the asset store).

Upload assets that follow a naming convention, for example, blueasset.fbx, blueasset.png.

Upload assets that are organized by folder, that is, all relevant files are in distinct folders.

The ingestion process detects and establishes any dependency relationships among assets. Read more about creating assets in bulk.

You can now upload scenes directly from Pixyz Studio 2024.1 to Asset Manager:

Use Pixyz Studio 2024.1 to locally import, assemble, prepare, and optimize 3D models interactively.

Upload these 3D models to Asset Manager for review and collaboration with stakeholders and partners.

For more information, see the Asset Manager for Pixyz Studio

Copy and paste your previews by right-clicking the preview dropzone in Asset edit mode.

You can rerun file uploads that have failed.

When adding multiple assets through the UVCS link, you now receive an accurate count of the number of files.

Now you can find newly added URP and HDRP materials in the Unity Assets public library. You can incorporate these materials into your project and easily drag-and-drop them into your scene using the Asset Manager in the Unity Editor.

Enhanced tooltips display now for UVCS disabled actions.

A new "No results" screen has been introduced for searches that return no asset results.
