VAM Tutorial #18 - Unity Assets Vol 1 (import, fix, export prefab assetbundles)

Описание

This tutorial focuses on the detailed process of how to import diverse assets types in Unity and get them into VAM. == Table of contents below. ==
Target of this video is, that you should be able to import assets and 3D models from various sources into Unity, perform needed fixes and optimizations on those and export the ready-to use models as assetbundles, which can be easily loaded in Virt-A-Mate.
You will also learn about texture types, how to to convert separate metal and roughness textures with GIMP into one RGBA image, containing metal and smoothness channels for use with Unity "Standard shader"
Also the import of GLTF models as well as animated assets into Unity and the preparations to export them to VAM, including relocation of anchor points are explained in detail. Again quite a lot of content in this video.
