How to Upload Assets from Unity to STYLY

In this article, we will show you how to use prefabs created in Unity on STYLY.

STYLY allows you to prefabricate and upload assets created using 3DModel, Particle system (Shuriken), Light, UI elements, Shader (using Amplified Shader, etc.), PlayMaker, etc.

In STYLY, you can use assets with animation and interactivity in Unity, as well as Light assets with colors. Please give it a try if you want to pursue a new and unique way of expression.

 

Requirements

STYLY supports “Unity 2019.3.6f1”. Also, please make sure that the following components are installed:

• Windows Build Support (If you’re using a Windows PC, it’s installed by default)
• Mac Build Support (If you’re using a Mac, it’s installed by default)
• Android Build Support
• WebGL Build Support
• iOS Build Support

 

Types of assets that can be uploaded

The STYLY plugin for Unity allows you to include the following types of assets in STYLY

• 3DModel (with animation in Mecanim is also possible)
• Particle system（Shuriken）
• Light
• UI要素
• Shader (using Amplified Shader, etc.)
• Assets with PlayMaker

For these different types of assets, the upload process is the same.
