Unity Asset Manager — September 12, 2024

We are excited to announce that you can now save Smart Views for a more focused perspective of your assets on the Prefabs to Review page. Smart Views retain your selected filters, ordering, and view type for your asset gallery. You can create Smart Views on a cross-project basis, for individual projects, or for specific collections. Currently, Smart Views are saved on a per-account basis. However, we are planning to make them shareable across your organization soon. Additionally, for quick access, you can pin your most important Smart Views under the Projects section in the left navigation panel.

We are happy to inform you that the issue affecting the generation of thumbnails and 3D previews has been resolved. Previously, finer object details, such as holes, were not preserved, and materials were not always accurately presented in the thumbnails. With this fix, these issues have been addressed, ensuring enhanced and precise thumbnails and 3D previews.

The side panel received several improvements to boost your productivity.

You can now expand or collapse the side panel to maintain a larger view of your assets.

For Contributors: You can now upload, edit or remove your files directly from the sidepanel now. You can also display hidden datasets and create new ones.

The multibar displays on the top of the side panel. It is no longer shown at the bottom left.

Previews are displayed now at the bottom.

With the new Project overview information function, you can see the number of assets grouped by status or activity.

Use the new auto tag generator function by clicking the Generate Auto Tags button next to the previews at the bottom.

Selection behavior has been also updated: To inspect an asset, simply just double-click it.

3D and 2D viewers got enhanced:

With the new pan and zoom functions, you can take a more detailed look at your pictures.

To switch between the two projections of a 3D model, you can now select the Orthographic view or the Perspective view.

The lighting and background has been updated to give you better visuals and fidelity.

We fixed the "reflecting surface" issue.

Our search feature is now greatly enhanced with the release of the Asset file type filter. Due to this new function, now you can filter your assets by the type of their file(s). Just click + Filters, select Asset file type, and then choose file types, for example, '3D Model', 'Asset', 'Document', or 'Prefab'.

Left Navigation saves section preferences: The application remembers the last section you expanded in the left navigation pane.

The organization of columns in your assets list view is saved over sessions.
