Unity Asset Manager — December 25, 2024

You can now preview the following image formats directly through Asset Manager Web:

PSD

PSB

TGA

TIFF

EXR

DDS

HDR

It works out of the box, so there is no action required from your end.

You can now Optimize and Convert your 3D models directly from Asset Manager Web. Depending on your subscription, you can trigger this built-in pipeline to convert supported 3D formats into all known exchange formats . Additionally, you can perform automatic optimization using three parameters:

Mesh cleaning

Merge optimization

Polygon target

All output files are stored in the Optimize and Convert dataset of your asset. Any project consumer can download the output files.

We’ve just released our Asset Store integration for Asset Manager. Asset Store users can now save their purchased assets in the cloud on Asset Manager. You no longer have to download an entire asset pack into Package Manager to retrieve a single asset. With this integration, you can itemize your assets in the cloud and pull only the asset you need via the Editor package. Each file is saved as an individual asset and storage for Asset Store assets is free.

You can now explore your assets in a manner similar to your local Mac or Windows machine. You can access the new folder hierarchy view next to the tile and list views in your asset gallery.

• Windows
• macOS

We’ve resolved a longstanding inconsistent UX pattern regarding which assets are visible at the Project or Collection level. You can now toggle the All Assets button on or off to view only the assets on your current level or all assets on and below that level. This is particularly helpful for ensuring all assets are moved into a collection when working in the Project root.

The new Dependency Viewer offers an interactive way to view upstream and downstream dependencies. Select the See dependencies button in the asset details panel to view a node graph of your asset’s dependencies. You can select Connected assets to load their dependencies from there.

Quicker updates for imported assets

You can now update all imported assets to their latest version with a single click. This is particularly useful if you have many outdated assets that need to be updated simultaneously. Additionally, we’ve added filters and sorting options based on import state, allowing you to easily identify and update outdated assets. You can also multi-select assets for batch updates.

Custom metadata fields are now visible in the asset details panel.

Detailed dependency state

During uploads, you can now see whether dependencies will create a new version, a new asset, or if they are already up to date. A new indicator system has been added:

New version +: A new asset will be created.

New version with an arrow up: An existing version will be updated.

Version with a checkmark: The dependency is already up to date.

For imported assets, you can also view the import state of their dependencies.
